Documentary Photography Archive of photographs presumably intended to support New England Telephone and Telegraph infrastructure costs for the purpose of setting rates 1925

192515760New Hampshire : New England Telephone and Telegraph Company 1925. First Edition. Boards. Very Good. First Edition. 9 x 11 1/2 inches. Thick boards covered in grey coated linen. Bulks 2 1/2 inches thick at the spine. Bound in boards secured by two screw posts. An archive of more than one hundred 7 1/2 x 11 inch photographs each mounted on linen. Tonality of the images is excellent. The front cover is stamped "Outside Plant - General Store and Garage Equipment - General Tools and Implements as Included in Inventory and Appraisal of Property New England Telephone and Telegraph Company State of New Hampshire as of April 1 1925" The photographs are divided into sections each under a different tab. Each section of photographs is preceded with a financial page noting the value of the infrastructure being documented. A sample section is "Exchange Pole Lines Summary - Reproduction Cost - Fully Owned and Jointly Owned". Most photographs have typed explanations at bottom. Other section headings are Pole Lines Exchange Poles Toll Poles Aerial Cable Exchange Aerial Cable Toll Aerial Cable Exch. Aerial Wire Toll Aerial Wire UG Conduit UG Cable Exch UG Cable Toll UG Cable Motor Vehicles this section empty Other Accounts Submarine Cable GNL Tools and Implements. Boards. The first category tab has a stamp "Exhibit No 14 New England Tel & Tel Co New Hampshire P.S.C. No D. 964 Witness GK Manson". A legal expert advised us that this archive was probably 'an exhibit compiled for use in a state rate case - a substantial portion of which consisted of proving that the physical plant included in the company's 'rate base' on which it was allowed to earn its 'fair return' was 'used and useful' and fairly valued.' In other words NE Telephone was attempting to prove that the rates it charged to customers were fair and appropriate based in part on the inventory and property documented here. A fascinating view into the state of the art in telephone/telegraph cabling and outside plant as well as how that infrastructure was used to justify rates in 1925. Archives of this nature are certainly scarce on the market and worthy of study and preservation. While individual photographs are found occasionally groupings like this which tell a story larger than the sum of their parts are quite uncommon. Major Mason organized the 401st Telegraph Battalion from the NE Tel and Telegraph Company and was involved in analysis of the Transatlantic Cable see Circuits of Victory by Lavine.

A small archive of five documents from the 30th January 1965 state funeral of Winston S. Churchill issued to Baron Greenway

1965008278London: Her Majestys Stationery Office & The Earl Marshal of England 1965. This is a small archive of five documents from the 30 January 1965 state funeral of Sir Winston S. Churchill. It is unusual to find a coherent set of such items identifiably belonging to a specific individual in this case Charles Paul Greenway 3rd Baron Greenway 1917-1975. The current 4th Lord Greenway is one of ninety elected hereditary peers remaining in the House of Lords after passage of the House of Lords Act 1999. The documents included are: an embossed printed stamped an original ticket to the funeral issued by the Earl Marshal of England; printed GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS from the Earl Marshal for invited guests; a franked and stamped ON HER MAJESTYS SERVICE stationery envelope; two booklets available at the funeral - The Order of Service and The Ceremonial To Be Observed for the Funeral of The Right Honourable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill K.G. O.M. C.H. 30th January 1965. The issuer of these documents the Earl Marshal of England is the hereditary office of the Duke of Norfolk whose duties include organizing major ceremonial state occasions such as coronations and state funerals. The ticket is embossed with the sigil of the EARL MARSHAL OF ENGLAND. In calligraphy it specifies Block A and Row 17 and admittance for The Lord Greenway. The GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS document specifies the items provided Letter of Invitation Acceptance/Refusal Form Seating Ticket and Car Label and provides information on dress transport entry time and entry location for the Cathedral. The first two items specified as included with the GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS the Letter of Invitation and Acceptance/Refusal Form are crossed out with a single line in black ink. The ON HER MAJESTYS SERVICE" envelope which conveyed the formal invitation documents features the typed London address of The Lord Greenway. To the right is the ink-stamped frank from THE HOUSE OF LORDS S.W.1 OFFICIAL PAID. At the lower left is an elaborate crowned ink stamp of the HOUSE OF LORDS. The envelope was roughly opened upon receipt but is nonetheless complete. The invitation is fine apart from Greenway inked in blue-green on the verso. The General Instructions are creased once vertically and thrice horizontally ostensibly from original posting. The final two documents were available at the funeral itself a pair of booklets that detail the elaborate funeral proceedings for Winston Churchill. These are The Ceremonial to be Observed at the Funeral of The Right Honourable Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill and The Order of Service for the Funeral of The Right Honourable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill. Both of these documents are in very good condition apart from the same inked notation on each upper left front cover verso. The blue-green ink and hand ostensibly that of the Baron reads Present Greenway 3rd Baron & Baroness of Stanbridge Earls in the County of Southampton. On Sunday 24 January 1965 Winston Churchill died at the age of 90. He had already become a living national memorial" of the time he had lived and the Nation Empire and free world he had served. His death completed his transformation into a national icon. The next day on 25 January the Queen sent a message to Parliament announcing: "Confident in the support of Parliament for the due acknowledgement of our debt of gratitude and in thanksgiving for the life and example of a national hero" and concluded "I have directed that Sir Winston's body shall lie in State in Westminster Hall and that thereafter the funeral service shall be held in the Cathedral Church of St. Paul. Churchill's full state funeral at the Cathedral of St. Paul in London was attended by the Queen other members of the royal family Prime Minister Harold Wilson and representatives of 112 countries. Churchill was interred in St. Martins churchyard Bladon Oxfordshire. It was the first time in a century that a British monarch attended a commoners funeral.
