1912410929London: Davey & Hackney 1912. Some rubbing to binding. Photos with some age toning and occasional fading but generally well preserved and crisp. Album containing 39 mounted black and white photographs the first nine 11 1/4 x 7 inches or vice versa; the remaining 6 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches or vice versa. Each photo is captioned in the lower margin of the print. In a padded leather album titled in gilt on the front cover. The photos presumably assembled in this album to commemorate a single voyage show: profile view of the ship from port the dining room social hall smoke room writing room gymnasium promenade deck swimming bath Captain Custance dancing deck boat deck Southampton docks deep sea trawlers playing cricket Leith thread the needle race tennis boxing. The final picture shows the "Arcadian" in a fjord in Norway. <br /> <br /> SS Arcadian was a Barrow-in-Furness built passenger liner constructed in 1899 by Vickers Sons & Maxim Ltd for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company originally named Ortona. She was renamed Arcadian in 1910 after the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company acquired her in 1906. She started her first world cruise in January 1912 the largest dedicated cruise ship in the world at that time. These photos document her use as a cruise ship so must date from circa 1912. In World War I she served with the Royal Navy and was sunk by a U-boat in 1917. On 15 April 1917 Arcadian was en route from Thessaloniki Salonika to Alexandria with a company of 1335 troops and crew and escorted by a Japanese Navy destroyer. Shortly after completing a boat drill while 26 miles north east of the Greek island of Milos Arcadian was hit by a single torpedo from the German submarine SM UC-74 and sank within six minutes with the loss of 279 lives. A contemporary newspaper article described how four of Arcadian’s overcrowded lifeboats were successfully lowered before she sank. Some of the dead were cooks and stokers who were working below decks. The escorting destroyer had two torpedoes launched at her while she was attempting to rescue men from the water; survivors reported that she had lowered three of her own boats while going “at full speedâ€. More survivors who had been clinging to a raft were rescued at midnight by the Q-ship HMS Redbreast. Among the dead was the eminent bacteriologist Sir Marc Armand Ruffer who was returning to Alexandria after advising on the control of an epidemic among troops based at Thessaloniki Wikipedia.

1931345H4370New York: The Macmillan Company of Canada Limited. Good. 1931. First American Edition. Hardcover. 8 9-94 pages. Select Bibliography. First published in London in 1930. "Professor Einstein is better known as a physicist than as a Zionist. Yet for many years he has given abundant proof both of a keen interest in Zionism and of a penetrating insight into its underlying ideas. He is impelled to Zionism by his acute consciousness of the excessive price at which the blessings of assimilation are bought by the Jewish communities of the Western world which for him are mainly represented by that of Germany. The price is a loss of solidarity of moral independence and self-respect. These in his view can be regained only if assimilated Jews find some common task of absolute human value to which they can bend their corporate energies as Jews. Such a task is to be found in the restoration of Jewish national life in Palestine." - Introduction. Unmarked with average wear. Backstrip lettering faded. Binding tight.

193059487New York: Horace Liveright 1930. Second Printing same year as the first. Octavo 21cm; black cloth with titles stamped in gilt on spine and front cover; illustrated endpapers; 1213-3093pp; illus. Inscribed by the author in year of publication the half-title page: "To Erskine and Sara / with never-ceasing affection / Sincerely & fraternally / Michael Gold." Further inscribed by Wood: "From Erskine & Sara to their dear friend Max Rosenberg - echoing the above - The Cats / July 1930." A tight clean copy in the original cloth binding; board corners lightly bumped and a few mild taps to board edges the endpapers illustrated after woodcuts by Howard Simon. Solidly Very Good lacking the scarce dustwrapper. <br /> <br /> A great association copy inscribed by Gold to one of the leading leftist intellectuals and authors of his time. Wood 1852-1944 was a self-styled anarchist aesthete and painter. As an attorney in the 1920s he defended a number of prominent figures on the left including the anarchist lecturer Emma Goldman and contributed prolifically to the radical periodicals of the period. With his second wife Sara Bard Field he was a long-time resident of Los Gatos California and was known for entertaining visitors at the estate "The Cats" mentioned in the present inscription. Interestingly Wood did not have a reputation for sympathy with doctrinaire Marxist thought; it seems unlikely that Gold would have written Wood such an effusive inscription even a few years later as during the Great Depression he would rise to become one of the leading apparatchiks in the CPUSA.

188455054Wien Vienna and Berlin: IM K.K. Schulbocher-Verlag / Gedruckt Von AD. Schulze 1884. Very good. First edition of this Austrian lesson books for blind children part of the famed series from the noted publisher containing both Braille and an embossed Latin alphabet showing the field's move toward the Braille system. Though Braille is now the dominant alphabet for the blind "the system was not given an immediate welcome" note Carter and Morison in PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN; indeed Braille was one of several competing writing and printing systems for the blind until 1878 when an international congress for blind education in Paris selected it as the standard. Even so the output of pedagogical materials did not immediately pivot to Braille. This volume captures that transition with a title page in raised letter and - more importantly - a raised latter key to the Braille system which follows mounted to a stub at the beginning of the book a snapshot of the slow but deliberate shift to the new standard. <br /> <br /> Austria has been called the "cradle of education for the blind" owing to its early establishment of K.K. Blinden-Erziehungs-Institut a school for the blind in Vienna in 1804 Monroe and its associated press. The editor of this volume from the press Simon Heller was director of the Israelitischen Blindeninstituts which specialized in the education of blind Jewish children. Austrian books for the education of the blind are now difficult to find. One of the largest collection of such books Alexander Mell's was "almost completely destroyed by the Nazis" in Word War II a fate that was common for many such collections Stuckey. 13'' x 10''. Quarter brown cloth with marbled boards. 144 pages with Braille embossment to rectos and versos. Spine cloth sunned label perished. Some staining internally unobtrusive. Front hinge started at top.

180014404Paris: Printed by Langlois 1800. Rare colour-printed copper engraving on wove paper. Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling minor foxing and a tiny nick at the edge of the right margin. A beautiful plate with stunning early colour from Lacépède's "La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle" an important scholarly work and one of the finest examples of eighteenth-century French natural history illustration.<br/> <br/>A professor of zoology at the Museum of Natural History the French naturalist Bernard-Germain-Étienne Delaville Comte de Lacépède 1756-1825 was a versatile and precocious scholar who published a number of books on zoology physics and music. He was greatly influenced by the pioneering naturalist Georges Louis Marie Leclerc comte de Buffon whom he succeeded as Intendant at the Jardin du Roi which later became the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in 1793. During his tenure Lacépède completed a comprehensive study of amphibians and reptiles Historie Naturelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens which was published as a supplement to Buffon's magnum opus on animal classification Histoire Naturelle Générale et Particulière. In 1800-1 he published the first edition of La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle a thorough survey of the various species of quadrupeds reptiles and amphibians in the impressive collection of the Museum of Natural History. This magnificent work was comprised of descriptive text written by Lacépède and his colleague Georges L. C. Baron Cuvier 1769-1832 as well as a number of finely rendered plates after the most eminent natural history artists of the period Nicolas Maréchal 1753-1803 Nicolas Huet 1770-1830 and Léon de Wailly 1801-1824. Painted from life on vellum these beautifully detailed illustrations faithfully captured the appearance of the wondrous animals in the Paris menagerie. A pupil of J. G. Wille and C. N.

1830WRCAM17586Arequipa Peru 1830. iv1581pp. Later cloth-backed plain wrappers. Worming slightly affecting text else very good. A rare Arequipa imprint. The author defends Simón BolÃÂvar's character and seems to be very conscious of the Liberator's place in history asserting that comparing him to such figures as Washington and Napoleon is impertinent: "In the future the prophets will dominate either inspirers or politicians.in such an order Bolivar cannot think of becoming King." Apparently this work was originally circulated in manuscript form at Chuquisaca 1828 before the present printed version appeared at Arequipa in 1830. "In Bolivia there does not exist a press that will print anything more than a broadside." PALAU 137802. hardcover books
