1888221661888. Original patent documentation for Edmond Verstraete's innovative 1888 railway car design an uncommon surviving artifact from the era of rapid industrial expansion and technological advancement in American rail transport. Verstraete Edmond. Railway Car. Washington D.C.: U.S. Patent Office July 24 1888. Patent No. 386512. First edition. 2 printed lithograph sheets measuring 9" x 7". Signed by inventor and witnesses. Includes two detailed mechanical drawings by Verstraete with formal submission details signed by the inventor and his attorney.<br /> <br /> This patent filed during a period when the U.S. railroad network was transforming American commerce and mobility documents Verstraete's reconfiguration of the passenger car interior and structural layout. The diagrams show side and overhead views of a self-contained passenger railcar marked by articulated platform entries segmented internal seating and a defined vestibule region. Of note are the annotated elements marked "x" in red ink labeled as "Lower entries" and "Passengers" likely indicating areas of operational focus or examiner queries. The first sheet offers a longitudinal cross-section while the second presents a plan and elevation revealing design emphasis on safety comfort and structural balance.<br /> <br /> The late 19th century witnessed a proliferation of railway car patents as inventors sought to enhance efficiency passenger experience and operational safety in the context of growing urban transit systems and long-haul travel routes. Verstraete's work fits within this inventive surge paralleling the emergence of Pullman cars electric trolleys and elevated rail networks. As cities like New York Chicago and San Francisco expanded rail-based infrastructure designs such as this laid the groundwork for more integrated mass transit and intercity rail travel. Light toning minor smudge at lower margin of first sheet archival notations in red and pencil at margin; "EXAMINER" hand-stamped at top. Overall very good condition. A scarce and compelling primary document reflecting the ingenuity and regulatory mechanics of the Gilded Age railroad boom ideal for researchers in industrial history transportation technology and the evolution of public transit. unknown

181956897Kyoto Japan: Marubeni Shoten Design Dept. Keimeikai Textile & Dyeing Studio Tanioka Shoten Design Dept. ca. 1918-1945. Folio. 61 original hand-painted inked and pencil designs with a few on a lightly toned but quality semi-translucent paper the majority on thick paper stock and still others with two pieces carefully pasted together with contiguous designs sized from 9 x 15 in. up to 19.25 x 38.5 in. with 13 of the pieces larger the larger size a number of them sized 18 x 32 in. and many in the 14.25 x 15.5 in. size colour painted; the majority feature the design studio chop or crest at lower corners throughout many w/ annotations in margins several w/ change orders neatly annotated or even the title of the design and still many others w/ Roman numeric inventory codes in margins as well two still retaining original small silk samples many with creasing or minor tears & edgewear or creasing to fore-edges a few w/ small & large closed tears while others show some creasing and thumbing from continued use still an exceptional group of manuscripts. This superb archive of 61 original hand-painted kimono designs furnishes an exceptional visual array of Taisho- and early Showa-era Japanese motifs and styles. A number of the designs evoke traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints with deep vivid colours and well rendered illustrations. Many of these designs incorporate floral patterns including Kiku Chrysanthemum Botan Mon Peony Pattern Manju Kiku Marigolds Japanese Irises Morning Glory Cockscomb Ivy Dahlias and many other botanical motifs. In addition there are many illustrating ornately embroidered designs austere bamboo mushrooms and intriguing landscapes some with a small portion fully painted in with brilliant colouring while the outline of the kimono fills out the drawing. Two of the designs still features their original small attached silk kimono sample more reminiscent of Western Design houses which often attached their chosen fabric samples to their clothing designs. A few of the designs are executed on translucent thin paper for the kimono draper to transfer the design to white silk or other fabrics via some type of carbon paper process. Another of the designs has been executed on a stunning silver metallic paper with palm or bamboo leaf fronds executed in vivid blues & browns. Some feature a nearly surrealist quality while several others include illustrations of doves or chickens. Two of the designs incorporate Art Deco representations of Chinese Junks and Japanese sailing vessels typical of the 1930’s prior to World War II. In the Taisho Era a new era opened for textile designers working with Kyoto drapers and department stores with many having trained at new art colleges and then working in the design studios of Marubeni Keimeikai Textile & Dyeing Studio and others. The Tachiki Artist design studio designs on thin translucent paper include one with designer stamp of character embedded within a skull. Some appear to have two different date stamps for the Marubeni Shoten Design and some are unsigned or stamped. The Taisho- and Showa-era kimonos featured brighter colours more groundbreaking designs as Japan’s designers embraced traditional dress and transformed it into a new garment equally appealing to the “Moga†or brazen “Modern Girl.†The designer notes include instructions to “leave a little more space between the fans;†“Drop the little fan crest;†“too much white bush clover†on the pine cones and even that Matsuo Taishichi had ordered a design for “clothes for paying a visit for a young person.†The Marubeni Shoten originated with Chubei Itho who began in 1858 as a salesman for linen cloth and by 1872 had opened his drapery store Benchu in Senba Osaka. By 1918 Chubei Itoh had expanded the business into Osaka and deciced to merge with Itochu Shoten Ltd. becoming Marubeni Shoten with their own drapers shops and many contracts with department stores. Later by the mid-1950s Marubeni merged with the company that operated the Takashimaya Dept. Store Chain all the while preserving their design studio and artists.
