1915200651915. World War I photograph albums created by soldiers and travelers often juxtapose the brutality of industrial warfare with scenes of civilian life and personal travel revealing how participants understood the global conflict unfolding around them. This album of approximately 101 photographs dating from roughly 1915 to 1918 documents both the European theater of World War I and an extraordinary American automobile journey from San Francisco to Washington D.C. The images capture the material culture of early twentieth century mobility the devastation of trench warfare in France and the civilian landscapes through which soldiers and travelers moved during the war years. Together they form a visual narrative of a world simultaneously engaged in modern leisure travel and mechanized global conflict.<br /> <br /> Photograph album containing approximately 101 photographs measuring roughly 3 x 2 inches to 4.5 x 6.5 inches including albumen prints silver gelatin prints and sepia toned photographs many with captions written in white ink directly on the prints. Early images document an automobile expedition labeled "Automobile Camping Trip San Francisco to Washington DC" with the additional caption "Approx. 4000 miles in 27 days" showing touring cars modified for long distance travel with seats folded down and bedding arranged inside the vehicles. Several photographs feature family members identified in French captions including an albumen portrait reading "Suzane et Jeane Vincent 'a leur grand ami" as well as group photographs labeled the "Cateret Family" depicting picnics garden scenes lakeside outings and automobile travel in Europe. Wartime images depict the destructive landscape of the Western Front including a trench scene captioned "After a Yank barrage 1800 Boches deads near Soissons" a photograph labeled "Bombarded house Grandpre 1917" showing a destroyed structure with smoke rising from the rubble and views of Belleau Wood. Additional photographs document military technology and battlefield operations including German artillery German observation balloons anti aircraft guns camouflaged British tanks captured artillery pieces wrecked airplanes and soldiers in formation. One photograph depicts German Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg pointing toward a soldier. Several images show supply depots in France during 1918 as well as groups of Allied soldiers in camps and on maneuver.<br /> <br /> The album concludes with portraits of children and family members visually contrasting the domestic life of civilians with the devastation of the European battlefields recorded earlier in the volume. The presence of both American and European subjects reflects the international dimension of World War I which drew soldiers civilians and travelers into a shared landscape shaped by mechanized warfare and unprecedented global mobility.

pp. 445. Index. Footnotes. "A documented authoritative history of Germany's war against the world in the years 1918 to 1939 as part of a Thirty Years War; and of the failure of the allies to recognize and stay united against this undeclared but continuing assault. Reveals the German expansionist and militarist policies which were carried on by all the governments of Germany and which waged a successful war against the western powers by splitting them up and utilizing well-meaning but misinformed support from western liberals and utopians. Includes complete documentation from memoirs and state papers. A MUST book for everyone who wants to be well informed on world affairs and particularly for all those who are giving thought to the many problems that will have to be faced when Germany and its axis allies are finally defeated." - dust jacket.

Minor edgewear to DJ.; Expanding the discussion of religious participation of women in ancient Rome Celia E. Schultz demonstrates that in addition to observances of marriage fertility and childbirth there were more--and more important--religious opportunities available to Roman women than are commonly considered. Based on research in ancient literature inscriptions and archaeological remains from the fifth to the first century B. C. E. Schultz's study shows that women honored gods unaffiliated with domestic matters including Hercules and Jupiter; they took part in commercial military and political rites; they often worshipped alongside men; and they were not confined to the private sphere the traditional domain of women. The Vestal Virgins did not stand alone but were instead the most prominent members of a group of women who held high-profile religious positions: priestesses of Ceres Liber and Venus; the flaminica Dialis and the regina sacrorum; other cult officials; and aristocratic matrons who often took leading roles in religious observances even though they were not priestesses. Schultz argues that women were vital participants--both professional and nonprofessional--in the religion of the Roman Republic and that social and marital status in addition to gender were important factors in determining their opportunities for religious participation in the public sphere.; Studies in the History of Greece and Rome; 248 pages . 0807830186 .
