189521579Geneva NY: Press of W.F. Humphrey 1895. First Edition First Printing. Cloth Hardcover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. <br /> <br /> A foundational artifact of women's medical history compiled to fund the hospital that served as the alma mater for Elizabeth Blackwell-the first woman in the United States to receive an M.D.<br /> This scarce 1895 'Charity Cookbook' represents a sophisticated intersection of domestic science and professional medical fundraising in the post-Civil War era. <br /> <br /> More than a recipe collection it is a primary document of 19th-century women's organizational power featuring unique 'narrative-style' recipes and extensive local advertising from the Finger Lakes region during a pivotal moment for female physicians.<br /> The text is uniquely structured in narrative 'essay-style' recipes and is heavily interspersed with charming period advertising for Finger Lakes banks retailers and cookstoves.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES <br /> Visuals: Interspersed with significant local advertising matter from 19th-century Geneva NY. <br /> Binding: Original patterned cloth boards lettered in grey. <br /> Content: A comprehensive guide to 'Culinary Science' featuring meats sauces and breads explicitly designed to educate women in efficient scholarly homemaking. <br /> Historical Context: Directly linked to the legacy of Geneva Medical College and the pioneering female medical movement in Upstate New York. <br /> Rarity: Uncommon; OCLC/WorldCat records only 8 institutional copies worldwide. Specs: 9.25 inches tall / 240 pages.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Very Good -- Bindings are tight and square; front hinge is starting but holding firmly. Text is clean with light even toning. Boards show expected rubbing and handling wear consistent with a 19th-century kitchen-used volume. A solid unsophisticated example. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- <br /> Charity cookbooks of the late 19th century were the primary engine for women's local philanthropy. The 'Geneva Cook Book' is a standout example as it funded the Medical and Surgical Hospital in a city already famous for breaking the gender barrier in medicine. By framing housekeeping as 'Culinary Science' the Woman's Board positioned domestic labor as a professional discipline equal to the medical training occurring within the hospital's walls.<br /> <br /> The presence of local advertising makes this a vital genealogical and economic record of the Finger Lakes region. For the culinary historian the narrative recipe format pre-dating the standardized ingredient lists of the 20th century offers a window into the transition of American cooking from folk tradition to measured science.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Geneva NY Finger Lakes History Charity Cookbooks Elizabeth Blackwell Women in Medicine Culinary History 19th Century Advertising Domestic Science Cookbook Americana Women's History Regional Printing.
