An excellent and research rich copy of this rare charitable cookery book which is currently the only one known on the market. OCLC reports only 5 examples at institutions worldwide. First and only edition of this charitable women's cookery which was produced "for the instruction of women in Culinary Science" with the goal "not only to increase the fund already in the Treasury which ultimately is to be appropriated for the equipment of that institution but also to contribute a book which shall be of practical use to all house-keepers." Clearly a group of educated women the Board compiling the cook book viewed house-keeping as an occupation that required knowledge and scientific workability. They reveal in the preface that all advice and recipes were researched and vetted to ensure that they created "a work of real merit" and their title page contains an epigram from Ruskin praising women's roles as sorcerers chemists and "loaf-givers." Including a range of recipes from breads and cheeses to chafing dish meals to meats sauces and salads the book also contains advice on different service for lunch and dinner. The recipes' clear and easy to follow instructions suggest its compilers recognized the busy lives of women running homes and that they opted to assist in making domestic cookery straightforward and efficient. Notably the Geneva Hospital which the Woman's Board supported was connected to Geneva Medical College which only 45 years prior had made history by granting an M.D. to Elizabeth Blackwell the first degreed female doctor in the U.S. This connection signals that the women of the organization also hoped to ensure updated equipment and a solid infrastructure for an institution that had welcomed in students of their own sex.

The Geneva Cook Book Elizabeth Blackwell Association Scarce 19th-Century Charity Cookbook New York

189521579Geneva NY: Press of W.F. Humphrey 1895. First Edition First Printing. Cloth Hardcover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. 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. This scarce 1895 'Charity Cookbook' represents a sophisticated intersection of domestic science and professional medical fundraising in the post-Civil War era. 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. 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. KEY FEATURES Visuals: Interspersed with significant local advertising matter from 19th-century Geneva NY. Binding: Original patterned cloth boards lettered in grey. Content: A comprehensive guide to 'Culinary Science' featuring meats sauces and breads explicitly designed to educate women in efficient scholarly homemaking. Historical Context: Directly linked to the legacy of Geneva Medical College and the pioneering female medical movement in Upstate New York. Rarity: Uncommon; OCLC/WorldCat records only 8 institutional copies worldwide. Specs: 9.25 inches tall / 240 pages. 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 -- 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. 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.
