In his letter addressed to T.H. Hills Elmore fears that he may not feel well enough to have dinner with his friend on Thursday: "I am not very well or strong and I fear I shall be too done up to join you at dinner on that day." Signed in full "Alfred Elmore". Folded for mailing with a strip of paper glued along the top of the verso. Very good. <p>The British historical genre painter Alfred Elmore 1815-1881 was born in Clonakilty Ireland. Initially influenced by Richard Parkes Bonington's troubadour style he soon moved on to paint religious canvases such as "The Martyrdom of Thomas a Becket" a work commissioned by Daniel O'Connell for Dublin's Westland Row Church. Associated with "The Clique" young artists who followed in the footsteps of Hogarth and David Wilkie Elmore's paintings frequently explored historical settings including episodes from Shakespeare and the French Revolution. He often incorporated scenes depicting technological innovations such as depicted in his paintings "The Invention of the Stocking Loom" and "The Invention of the Combing Machine" though his most famous work "On the Brink" is a moral genre painting of young woman who has lost her fortune gambling and is on the brink of responding to the seduction of a satan-like figure.

195078949Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1950. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Good. Format is approximately 5 inches by 8 inches. 31 1 pages. Pin holes at each corner. The Official U. S. Government Booklet. NSRB Doc. 130. The secrets of survival are: Know the bomb's true dangers and know the steps you can take to escape them. Some discoloration to text. It reassures readers that atomic weapons will not destroy the earth doubling bomb power does not double destruction radioactivity is not the bomb's greatest threat radiation sickness is not always fatal. It also contains six survival secrets for attacks and five keys to household safety among other advice. Survival Under Atomic Attack was the title of an official United States government booklet released by the Executive Office of the President the National Security Resources Board and the Civil Defense Office. Released at the onset of the Cold War era the pamphlet was in line with rising fears that the Soviet Union would launch a nuclear attack against the United States and outlined what to do in the event of an atomic attack Published in 1950 by the Government Printing Office one year after the Soviet Union detonated their first atomic bomb the booklet explains how to protect oneself one's food and water supply and one's home. It also covered how to prevent burns and what to do if exposed to radiation. Because much of the book is arranged around calculations of the effects of the relatively small fission weapons of the time ca. 20 kilotons much of the information could be viewed as out of date in terms of nuclear weapons however the most numerous nuclear weapons in both the US & USSR/Russian arsenal are and remain approximately 100 kiloton in yield due to the flexibility that MIRVs offer. It was also published before studies of the effects of nuclear weapons on civilian areas had taken place. The Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission was active from 1946 to 1975 studying the effects of the two bombs on survivors in both cities and thus represented four years of post-bombing study at the time of publication.
