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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br/><br/> Her Majestys Stationery Office & The Earl Marshal of England unknown

1899013878Boston Mass: Bigelow & Dowse Co 1899.

A remarkably bright and well-preserved specimen. The stiff paper wraps remain clean flat and structurally sound with no fading to the lithographic ink. The staples are secure and completely free of oxidation or rust transfer. Internally the pages are crisp bright and untouched completely without flaw marks or the heavy thumb-soiling typical of late 19th-century hardware and trade literature. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> By the late 1890s the American landscape had been utterly transformed by the bicycle boom. The introduction of the safety bicycle-featuring two equal-sized wheels and a chain-driven rear axle-replaced the dangerous high-perch ordinary bicycle democratizing cycling for women children and the broader urban public.<br /> <br /> This 1899 catalog from Boston hardware powerhouse Bigelow & Dowse documents the peak of this cultural frenzy. Rather than acting as a simple order sheet the volume showcases how traditional industrial jobbers adjusted their entire distribution frameworks to accommodate the mass-market demands of seasonal sports and athletic leisure.<br /> <br /> The inclusion of specialized youth models from the Fay Bicycle Company emphasizes the expanding nature of the late-nineteenth-century consumer market demonstrating that bicycle ownership had transitioned from an elite hobby into a standardized family fixture.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES<br /> Design: Captures late-Victorian athletic marketing layouts pairing bold typography with isolated mechanical profiles to emphasize structural lightweight speed.<br /> Scholarship: Serves as a vital primary document for the history of American transportation tracking the rapid shift away from the high-wheel ordinary bicycle to the equal-wheeled safety design.<br /> Influence: Preserves the fleeting industrial footprint of the Copley Company whose single-year operational window 1899 makes their surviving trade literature extraordinarily scarce.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Bicycles 19th-Century Transportation American Leisure Culture Boston Commerce Industrial Design Trade Catalogues Ephemera Fay Bicycle Company Huffman Bicycles Dayton Ohio Manufacturing Ephemera Trade Catalogue.<br /> <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: OCLC/WorldCat 49198294 locating only 1 copy globally at the University of Maine.
