16767Single Leaf Page from Geneva Breeches Bible. 1597 Geneva Bible - Luke 7:10-8:34 - Christ's Mother & Brothers-London 1597. Over 400 Years Old Geneva Breech Bible Leaf 1 Imprinted at London By The Deputies of Christopher Baker Printer To The Queens Most Excellent Maieftie and Do 1597- The Book of Luke -Recto Has Luke 7:10 Through 48. Verso has Luke 7:49 Through 8:34 Leaf Measures 10 3/8" X 7 1/4 " Printed On Cotton Linen Paper Sometimes Called Rag Paper. The Geneva Bible is one of the most historically significant translations of the Bible into English preceding the King James Version by 51 years. It was the primary Bible of 16th-century English Protestantism and was the Bible used by William Shakespeare and Oliver Cromwell. It was one of the Bibles taken to America on the Mayflower. This version of the Bible is significant because for the very first time a mechanically printed mass-produced Bible was made available directly to the general public which came with a variety of scriptural study guides and aids collectively called an apparatus which included verse citations that allow the reader to cross-reference one verse with numerous relevant verses in the rest of the Bible introductions to each book of the Bible that acted to summarize all of the material that each book would cover maps tables woodcut illustrations and indices. The annotations which are an important part of the Geneva Bible were Calvinist and Puritan in character and as such they were disliked by the ruling pro-government Anglicans of the Church of England as well as King James I who commissioned the "Authorized Version" or King James Bible in order to replace it. Surprisingly the Geneva notes were included in a few editions of the King James version even as late as 1715. unknown books

19481472Pass Christian Mississippi and St. Louis Missouri 1948. Very good. 10½" x 13½". 16 loose photo album leaves with 241 black and white photographs and three items of ephemera; around one quarter are inserted into corner mounts the rest are adhesive mounted. Most photos measure from 2½" x 1¾" to 4½" x 2 ¾" and approximately one third are captioned. Leaves very good with chipped edges that are prone to more of it photos generally very good or better. This album depicts Geneva Morgan as she progressed from sixth grade to graduation from nursing school. She grew up in Pass Christian Mississippi and attended St. Mary's Infirmary's nursing school in St. Louis Missouri. According to her obituary she worked as a night nurse in Richmond Heights Missouri until her retirement in 1982. The album begins with three photos of the grounds and students at St. Philomena's School in Pass Christian which Geneva attended before high school. Next are a number of photos of Geneva and her classmates who graduated from Randolph High School in 1944. Randolph was built in the late 1920s after receiving a grant from the Rosenwald School Building program. These images include many full length portraits of students including several young men who are in military uniforms. Other photos show Geneva and her friends and family around her home and three interesting shots feature African Americans marching in a parade which may be part of a school graduation processional. Around 70 photos depict Geneva and fellow African American nursing students. These include group shots photos of the St. Mary's Infirmary grounds as well as several that appear to be part of a graduation ceremony inside a chapel. Although the photos related to Geneva at nursing school do not have captions we know she attended the school at the St. Mary's Infirmary in St. Louis based on a piece of ephemera pasted among the nursing photos with "SMI" as well as a couple of photos of nurses taken outside which shows signage for "S.M. Arnold Inc." which was located across the street from SMI at the time. In 1933 the hospital was only the second in St. Louis to accept black patients and it was the first in the city with an integrated nursing staff. It was also the first Catholic nursing school in the United States to accept African Americans. Excellent photos capturing life in a segregated Mississippi and documenting a group of African American nurses in the Midwest. unknown books
