TAYLOR, JOHN, "THE WATER POETBiblio.com

All the Workes of John Taylor The Water Poet Being Sixty and Three in Number. Collected into One Volume by the Author With Sundry New Additions Corrected Revised and Newly Imprinted

163029102London: Printed by J. B. for James Boler 1630 1630. First edition. ESTC S117734; STC 23725; Pforzheimer 1006. A lightly washed copy with the following repairs: engraved title-page and one leaf Mmm5 pages 139-40 skillfully remargined with slight loss of a few letters on the final two lines on page 140; fore-edges occasionally trimmed close without loss; binding a little rubbed at the hinges and edges; remains of a bookseller's description on the front free endpaper; overall a fine copy. Folio late 19th century full olive morocco by Riviere gilt rules decorations spine lettering and gilt ornamental wreath on the boards a.e.g. Engraved title-page by Thomas Cockson and numerous woodcuts in the text. The collected works of a colorful member of the London literary scene in the late 16th and early 17th centuries - not a major figure but an extraordinary one. John Taylor 1578-1653 moved in the circles of Ben Jonson John Fletcher Thomas Coryate George Wither Thomas Dekker and Samuel Daniel among others. His background was modest and by trade he was a waterman on the Thames ferrying passengers across the river from the city to the Bankside but he was also a poet satirist pamphleteer self-promoter adventurer and traveller. He published over 150 titles usually in the ephemeral format of a broadside or pamphlet in prose and verse and on an array of subjects: comic narratives about London characters rhyming squibs on the travails of everyday life mock eulogies panegyrics upon himself anagrams sonnets narratives of real and imaginary travels invectives at rival poets and writers politics and low-life etc. In 1630 Taylor proudly arranged to have his works collected in the handsome folio format that previously had been used only for three other English authors - Daniel Jonson and Shakespeare - thus placing himself in select company. Whether or not All the Workes collected all of Taylor's works to 1630 is in question and he continued to publish almost until his death in 1653 little of which has been collected in any format. All the Workes itself was not reprinted until almost 250 years after this first edition. Robert Southey in his Lives of Uneducated Poets London 1836 wrote that the first poet to overcome the unfavorable obstacles of a poor education and humble beginnings "was John Taylor the Water-Poet a man who has long been more known by name than by his writings." ¶ Copies of Taylor's All the Workes are difficult to find in the marketplace in an unsophisticated state and this copy bears some evidence of repairs. See below. But it is also has very good provenance. On the front paste-down is the bookplate of collector Kenneth Rapoport with his catalogue slip laid in which states "Purchased from Seven Gables 9/22/77 @ $1040." A note on the verso updates it value as of 2004 to "$3-4000.". London: Printed by J. B. for James Boler, 1630 unknown

[ALASKA -- ANCHORAGE & THE ALASKA RAILROAD ARCHIVE]. [EDES, William C (Chairman), MEARS, Frederick (Engineer), & RIGGS, Jr, ThomBiblio.com

An exceptional archive of 86 original silver print photographs chronicling the transformation of Anchorage Alaska Territory from the village of Ship Creek and the construction of the Seward-Anchorage railroad line by the Alaska Engineering Commission AEC. These striking images capture steamships landing dynamiting of obstructions camp construction unloading of railroad car trucks from Panama and railroad lines under construction with many featuring the sweeping Alaskan vistas in the background.

161959078Anchorage & Seward A.T.: Alaska Engineering Commission AEC Phinney S. Hunt ca. 1916-1917. 4to. 86 silver print photographs sized 6.25 x 8.25 in. nearly all w/ photographerâ€™s imprint w/in negative at lower fore-edge as well as caption negative number and AEC some w/ occasional pencil annotations on verso all preserved in mylar sleeves occasional creasing at corners a couple w/ slight loss at corners in the small blank margin. Recent 3-ring clamshell binder an excellent set of photos with all retaining bright strong contrast. This outstanding photo archive provides not only some of the earliest photographs of Anchorage Alaska Territory but also this immense railroad project first authorized by the US Congress in 1912. The few existing privately-run railroads operating in Alaska at the time including the Alaska Northern Railway and the Tanana Valley Railroad primarily fulfilled the needs of the mining companies carrying resources to sea ports and very little allowance was made for passenger traffic and it was impossible to travel by rail from Shipâ€™s Creek at the Cook Inlet north to Fairbanks. Through an April 1915 executive order President Wilson directed that the newly created Alaska Engineering Commission construct a railroad along the surveyed â€œWestern Routeâ€ from Seward or Portage Bay along the Turnagain & Knik Arms of Cook Inlet North through the Suitna Valley and then follow the Nenana River until it joined the Tanana with the intent it would connect eventually to Fairbanks. Employing discarded surplus railroad equipment from the Panama Canal Railroad project and under the direction of engineer Mears who had worked on both the Panama Canal and Great Northern Railroads the tiny tent city of Shipâ€™s Creek swelled to 5500 people within two years and was officially labeled by the Post Office as â€œAnchorage.â€ Photos included here reveal the barren original landscape of Shipâ€™s Creek with one of the photos showing the steam launches â€œAlaskaâ€ & â€œSeagullâ€ who carried cargo and passengers from ships offshore. In addition there are views of the construction of the immense AEC Railway machine shop by Sept. 1916 as well as the newly completed first Railroad Depot in Anchorage with the progression of buildings erected beyond. These early views of the fast developing project portray the Commissary Hospital Bunkhouses finished machine shop interiors of the powder house for blasting along with a view of the AECâ€™s photo studio and the completed electrical power house. Early street views of the nascent city are quite scarce and one of particular interest shows Fourth Ave. looking East with newly built stores and homes built along both sides of the roadway stretching into the distance. Brutal working conditions continually interfered with the pace of the project with one of the images showing the AECâ€™s â€œElectric Thawing Machineâ€ on a sled whie others depict piles of snow work camps in snow and even sternwheeler and docks trapped in an ice flow in March 1917. A couple of the photographs feature the sternwheeler SS Omineca underway which had been originally constructed in 1909 for the Grand Trunk Railway running the Skeena River from 1909-1912 and powered by the original SS Caledoniaâ€™s engines. By the end of 1916 60 miles of track had been laid 100 miles were graded and right-of-way cleared for 230 miles with photos in this archive showing AEC Construction camps at various mile markers blasting activity and track laying. At the same time they rehabilitated the bankrupt Alaska Northern Railroad tracks and by Oct. 24 1917 the first AEC Railway train reached the Chickaloon coal mines 74 miles North of Anchorage. The railroad would actually not be finished until 1923 when the Tanana River Bridge was completed and last 57 miles of track to Fairbank converted to standard gauge. Photos also show the Anchorage Baseball Field which featured games for the Cook Inlet Baseball League composed at the time of Matanuska Anchorage and Turnagain Arm teams. Thereâ€™s also a very fine series of the Decoration Day parade held May 30 1917 depicting many of the main streets and businesses in the background. In addition several photographs show the ocean docks completed which allowed ships to directly dock at Anchorage rather than lightering passengers and cargo to shore prior to 1917. Hunt 1866-1917 originally worked as a California optician before trekking to Valdez Alaska as a gold rush prospector but quickly established himself as a photographer opening his studio and documenting Valdez and development of the region. He would bring his wife and children to Alaska by 1907. He later secured work as one of the AECâ€™s official photographers shooting some of the early survey work by 1914 and through the project until suffering a heart attack Oct. 14 1917 in Seward AK. Huntâ€™s son A.O. Hunt also worked as an assistant photographer for the AEC. A few of these images appear as negatives in the Alaska State Library Historical Collections with a couple shown in their Digital Archives and some appear in the Alaska Engineering Commission archive at the U of W Collect. No. PH0495 but the bulk of that collection features photographs by James McPherson H.G. Kaiser and A.J. Johnson who were the other official photographers on the project; See: Phinney S. Hunt Photographs of Alaska 1902-1909 Photographs in and around Valdez and Sitka Alaska University of Washington Special Collections; Phinney S.
