19103375Numerous locations including New Mexico Arizona California but mostly British Columbia 1910. About very good. Forty-six leaves illustrated with 232 photographs between 3.25 x 5.5 inches including forty small panoramic images measuring around 3.5 x 12 inches some manuscript annotations some images captioned in the negative. Oblong folio. Contemporary pebbled leather stamped in gilt "Grand Canyon and Canadian Rockies" on the front cover formerly string tied but binding and leaves now loose. One image roughly removed from the album minor chipping to some leaves but otherwise minor wear. An unusual and wholly engrossing collection of western American vernacular photography titled in manuscript on the first page "Views taken by M.H. Fussell of trip taken by Sarah E. Fussell and himself to Los Angeles to attend Amer. Med. Asso. On return trip via Canadian Rockies camping at Emerald Lake near Field Canada as seen by pictures." The author of this inscription was Dr. Milton Howard Fussell 1855-1921 longtime Philadelphia physician and instructor of clinical medicine at the University of Pennsylvania who was the head of the Medical Ward at Episcopal Hospital until shortly before his death. Dr. Fussell must have also had a passion for photography as the present photographs were apparently taken by him along the course of his trip to the west coast with many of the pictures displaying Dr. Fussell's captions in the negative. A few of the captions are written backwards adding to the amateur character of Dr. Fussell's otherwise well-composed pictures.<br /> <br /> While on the way to California Dr. Fussell's photographs begin in Chicago with a couple of small panoramas of Lincoln Park but the scene swiftly shifts to the American West with images of Native Americans among them shots of "Indian children" and an "Indian Village" a "Pueblo at Laguna" numerous shots of New Mexico Las Vegas Raton and Albuquerque several small panoramic scenes of the majestic Grand Canyon and more. During their visit to the Grand Canyon Dr. and Mrs. Fussell took the chance to snap portraits of each other under which the annotation reads "The climbers. It took 12 hours to make the trip up & down. Hot!!!" On the way to California Dr. Fussell also took a couple of images of Kansas and Nevada before proceeding to snap about a half dozen pictures of the Sacramento Valley.<br /> <br /> The photographs from this point forward constituting the majority of the pictures in the album concentrate on the latter half of Dr. and Mrs. Fussell's expedition to British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies. After visiting Victoria and Vancouver the Fussells stayed at Camp Crusoe on Emerald Lake. This portion of their trip includes a few more images of the travelers themselves including a shot of Sarah with a large dead black bear. In addition to several small panoramas of Emerald Lake Dr. Fussell captures scenes of the natural wonders of British Columbia such as Mt. Burgess Mt. Wapta Bow Valley Yoho River Emerald Glacier Valley of Ten Peaks Kicking Horse Canyon Bow River Lake Louise Moraine Lake Mirror Lake Fraser River and more. The last few leaves feature other scenes in British Columbia and elsewhere with a street scene in Banff a view of the "Prairie Town of Suscatchewan B.C." a handful of pictures featuring the Sierra Nevadas and several photos captioned "Over the Coast Range" taken from a train.<br /> <br /> A unique photographic record of a West Coast excursion taken by a notable Philadelphian and his wife in the early 20th century. unknown

79363Four quit-claim deeds dating from the 1880s involving women in property transfers at a time when women’s property rights were severely restricted nationwide.<br /> <br /> A deed dated September 17 1885 recorded the purchase of a lot in Aspen by Mrs. Rilla Patten who paid $150 to J.C. Dodge for lot “L†in Block 99 in the town of Aspen. The city’s population exploded from 500 to 3500 between 1883 and 1885 reflecting the rapid development driven by the silver boom.<br /> <br /> On January 5 1865 Nanum Howe Rice and Eliza A. Rice husband and wife sold a "planing mill" and all its machinery in Denver Arapahoe County Territory of Colorado for $3000 to another party. He died in 1878.<br /> <br /> The additional deeds appear to show the sale and transfer of properties within families.<br /> <br /> On July 18 1887 another deed records the sale of mining property in Clear Creek County by Catherine M. Cowles for $1000 to Frederick Nelson. According to Ancestry records Nelson married Catherine K. Cowles in 1885. Her mother Catherine M Cowles died in 1884.<br /> <br /> On December 6 1883 John Hardenburgh sold to his wife Martha B. Hardenburgh an interest in several mining claims in Pitkin County Colorado and a lot in the town of Aspen for $1000. The couple was married in 1873 and she preceded him in death.<br /> <br /> Changes in property rights laws for women paved the way for these transactions. While still a territory Colorado adopted the Married Women's Property Act in 1861 which gave married white women the right to own property otherwise given to them. Before this time under coverture an English common law system married women could not own property control their wages be part of contracts and otherwise act autonomously to their husband's authority. Further in 1872 the Colorado Territory allowed any woman while married to “execute any bond bill promissory note or other instrument in writing for the direct payment of money; and if the consideration thereof went to the benefit of her estate.â€<br /> <br /> By 1900 most states allowed married white women to own property but access to credit and mortgages without a male co-signer was a barrier for all women not addressed until the 1970s. unknown
16753Women's Education Movement. Western Female Seminary Catalog 1868-1869. Oxford OH. Western Female Seminary was founded in 1853 as a daughter school of Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley Massachusetts. Its first principal Helen Peabody and most of the early faculty had been students and teachers at Mount Holyoke. Mary Lyon Residence Hall on the Western campus is named for Mount Holyok's founder Mary Lyon. It later received a charter and became Western College an all-female institution. Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up.

1890212421890. Archive of postcards documenting the popular image of the American cowgirl in Western Americana and early twentieth-century mass visual culture. Working in Cultural / Representational Mode the material illustrates how women participating in rodeo performance equestrian spectacle and frontier-themed entertainment were presented to national audiences during a period when women's public roles remained heavily circumscribed by conventional gender expectations. The postcards emphasize physical skill horseback mobility and frontier self-sufficiency through repeated depictions of women handling lassos firearms and bucking horses. Collectively the archive offers insight into the commercialization of the American West and the circulation of gendered frontier mythology through inexpensive illustrated print media from the late nineteenth century through the postwar period.<br /> Collection consists of 16 postcards dating approximately from the 1890s through the 1950s including early colored lithographs chromolithographs and colored real photo postcards. Each measures approximately 3.5 x 5.25 inches. Images portray cowgirls mounted on horseback in a variety of staged action scenes including lasso throwing galloping bucking and trick riding performances. Many women wear fitted riding outfits cowboy hats bandoliers holsters and western boots while posed with rifles pistols whips or ropes against rugged frontier backdrops. Several postcards emphasize dramatic movement with horses shown rearing trotting or in mid-action poses. The repeated use of lassos and firearms visually aligns the women with iconography traditionally associated with male cowboys in Wild West shows rodeo advertising and popular Western entertainment. Some postcards retain handwritten inscriptions on the versos.<br /> The archive preserves a long-running commercial visual tradition in which the cowgirl functioned simultaneously as frontier worker entertainer and symbol of female independence within American popular culture. Particularly notable is the tension between conventional femininity and the rugged physicality emphasized throughout the imagery with the women consistently portrayed as active riders and performers rather than domestic figures. The postcards also document the persistence of Western mythology across changing photographic and print technologies during the first half of the twentieth century. Minor edgewear and scattered markings to some cards; overall very good condition. A visually cohesive grouping documenting representations of women in frontier and rodeo culture across more than five decades of American postcard production. unknown

191373918San Francisco: Western Fertilizer Co 1913. Wraps. Near fine. Pictorial brochure for Wizard the Wonderful Fertilizer marketed as an odorless full-strength fertilizer with no fillers and a signature bat logo on its packaging. "Close attention to the wants of the public caused us to meet a growing demand for a Fertilizer that would eliminate the bulk odor and many objectionable features that heretofore have been the bane of Fertilizers." The Wizard of Fertilizer was sold on a money back guarantee. This unpaginated 20-page booklet contains directions for using Wizard with a variety of plants for example: "Rhubarb - two tablespoonfuls of Wizard to each plant will more than pay for itself in extra yield." It is believed that early farmers were using manure to fertilize their crops as long as 8000 years ago; however the Haber process developed in the first decade of the 20th century ushered in a new era of mineral fertilizers and Western was among those to capitalize on scientific and technical breakthroughs in the field. This 5" x 7 ¾" booklet is printed in red and blue on light pink paper and bound with staples. The ink stamp of A Hamburger & Sons Los Angeles California appears on the front panel. Near fine. OCLC locates only one copy at the California State Library. Western Fertilizer Co unknown

Öte yandan oldukça özet bir biçimde verilen bu sureç özellike 60'li yillardan sonra tam tersi bir istikamet almistir. Bu dönemde kitasal felsefe içinde öznellik, sinizm, tarihsellik vb. kavramlar daha fazla yer edinmis, bu gelismeye paralel olarak da dini epistemolojide fideizmi andiran yaklasimlar daha rahatk bir biçimde dile getirilir olmustur. Bu çalismada ele alinan konu da Kierkegaard ve Wittigenstein'den hareketle fideizm düsüncesi ve yine bu görüsün çagdas düsünürler tarafindan gelistirilen versiyonlaridir.
