In-8, broché sous cordelette de soie verte, 15 p., (1) p. bl., entièrement non rogné, tel que paru. Edition originale et unique. Appel des femmes de la noblesse bretonne à ne pas se compromettre avec celles du Tiers États: "avec aucunes femmes, filles ou parentes [sic] de ces gens déshonorés, & les déclarer infâmes, traîtres à la Patrie indignes du nom de vrais citoyens" (p. 4-5) et à les menacer de sanctions ainsi que ceux qui leur prêteraient assistance. "Arrêté en l'Hôtel de madame Dubosq, sur le champ de bataille, A Brest, le 24 janvier 1789", signé nommément par quarante-deux femmes issues de grandes familles de la marine brestoise, comme les trois sœurs de Kerouartz, mariées au commandant de la Marine de Brest – au comte de Soulanges et à De La Porte-Vezins. D’autres familles nobles d’officiers de marine apparaissent comme les De Langle, de Rosily, de Saint-Prix, de Trémigon. Quatre hommes sont aussi nommés comme adhérant à l’arrêté : Rhedon de Beaupréau, De Linoi, Le Provost et le Comte d’Hector, tous hauts gradés de la marine à Brest. "L'arrêté" est suivi (p. 7 à la fin) d'une sorte d'utopie politique: " vision qui n'en sera pas une" qui met en scène un "bon citoyen" transporté dans le palais du "Génie des nations" qui y réside sous la garde d'un Dieu jaloux veillant à l'éloigner de tout esprit d'innovation. Endormi depuis longtemps, le Dieu "n'avait été réveillé qu'au commencement de ce siècle par les cris d'une philosophie hardie..., ennemie des abus…". L’impression conjointe des deux textes, dont le second est favorable aux idées nouvelles, suggère que l'Arrêté des dames de Brest aurait été repris et détourné par le camp des patriotes. Sur cette brochure, cf. Solenn Mabo. 'Les citoyennes, les contre-révolutionnaires (…), engagements et rapports de genre dans la Révolution en Bretagne', Thèse, Univ. de Rennes, 2019, p. 121-124. (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 89:1505. Martin et Walter, n°3716). Rare. WorldCat ne recense que deux exemplaires dans le monde: BnF et British libr. Très bon exemplaire, bien conservé, non rogné, tel que paru.

1930218931930. Women's History Gender and Sexuality Photography Unidentified photographer women in military uniform photographs circa 1930 document female crossdressing and gender nonconforming expression in the United States during the interwar period and provide direct visual evidence of women adopting naval and military dress prior to formal inclusion in the armed forces. The images place women in uniforms associated with enlisted men of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps including posed and candid settings that suggest both performative and social uses of military identity. Produced before the establishment of formal women's branches such as the Women's Army Corps the archive supports research into gender expression cultural attitudes toward uniform and authority and the informal appropriation of military symbols by women in early twentieth century America.<br /> <br /> United States circa 1930. Archive of 10 silver gelatin vernacular photographs ranging in size from approximately 3 x 2.5 inches to 3.5 x 5 inches with three photographs bearing a "Bear Photo Service" stamp and processing date of November 10 1930. The photographs depict women dressed in U.S. Navy enlisted uniforms including jumpers with flap collars neckerchiefs and sailor caps as well as dress uniforms with double breasted coats and peaked caps. One image shows a woman wearing a Marine Corps style uniform with a white service cap and belted tunic posed in a formal salute. Several photographs show oversized uniforms likely borrowed from male servicemen with visible insignia including petty officer chevrons. Subjects appear in both informal group settings such as porch scenes with companions and more formal posed portraits with one individual appearing repeatedly across multiple images in varied poses.<br /> <br /> The archive situates these photographs within a period when women's participation in military institutions was limited and highly regulated making the adoption of uniformed identity outside official structures notable. The use of naval and military dress in social and photographic contexts suggests engagement with themes of authority discipline and gender presentation while also reflecting broader interwar cultural experimentation with identity and appearance. These images document an underrepresented aspect of women's history capturing moments of self representation that diverge from dominant gender norms of the period. Light creasing to two prints with minor foxing and edge silvering to one image; overall toning consistent with age. Overall very good condition. A focused photographic record of gender nonconforming expression in early twentieth century American social life. unknown

1951214131951. U.S. Navy boxing photographs May 1951 document organized athletic competition within the Navy during the early implementation of military desegregation and provide direct visual evidence of African American participation in structured sports programs shortly after federal policy changes mandated integration. Created three years after President Executive Order 9981 these images record both interracial competition and institutional oversight within a branch historically resistant to integration. The archive situates athletic competition within broader efforts to build morale discipline and cohesion during the Korean War era supporting research into African American military history civil rights and the role of sport within newly integrated armed forces.<br /> <br /> Nineteen black and white silver gelatin photographs each approximately 8 x 10 inches official U.S. Navy images with May 1951 date stamps on versos depicting a naval boxing tournament held in a military arena. The photographs capture multiple fight sequences including mid swing punches defensive movements and clinches along the ropes as well as referees supervising bouts and trainers assisting fighters between rounds. Several images emphasize moments of impact with gloves connecting and fighters reacting in real time while others depict pre fight preparation including a boxer in a satin robe receiving instruction before entering the ring. Group portraits show teams of sailors including both African American and white participants posed in uniforms and boxing attire alongside officials and referees underscoring the organized and institutional nature of the event.<br /> <br /> Produced during a period of active military engagement in the Korean War these photographs document the practical realities of integration within everyday military life where athletic competition functioned as both training and public demonstration of unit cohesion. The presence of interracial matches and group portraits reflects evolving racial dynamics within the Navy while the structured environment of the tournament reveals how sport operated as a controlled space for recognition and advancement amid ongoing inequality. As visual records these images preserve the intersection of race military policy and physical culture at a moment when federal mandates and lived experience were still in negotiation. Light surface wear and minor handling marks with clear images and strong contrast; overall condition very good. unknown

20217From Guadeloupe 'this Country' . 15 August 1815 . No place. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition on lightly aged and worn paper. Docketed on reverse of second leaf: '15 Augt. 1815. Sir P. C. Durham'. According to the DNB Durham having 'cleared the West Indies of American cruisers' 'in June and August 1815 co-operated in the reduction of Martinique and Guadeloupe at which place the last French flag was struck to Durham as the first had been'. The letter begins: 'My Lord I feel no exertion has been wanting on the part of the Navy in the joint capture of Guadeloupe – and did flatter myself <> had given his Nephew the best Situation and provided for most of his friends the admiral might have been offered something but to my surprize on my return from Pointe a Pitre in the <> where I had been in the Public Service all was disposed of – it has been generally in point of Captures the practice to give the admiral the nomanation sic of the Naval officer which is all I request for my Nephew Mr Thomas Calderwood Durham 1797-1842 and have requested Lord Bathurst would be pleased to give it to him – may I hope for your Lordships support'. He complains that in the meantime 'it has been given to Mr King a Gentleman well known to hae thought and acted in opposition to Government which is not paying the Navy nor Army any compliment for their exertions in this Country.'

La tavola presenta 139 bandiere di varie nazioni, fazioni e compagnie commerciali. Tra le bandiere più interessanti ci sono quelle della Compagnia Olandese delle Indie Occidentali (G.W.C. /Geoctroyeerde Westindische Compagnie) e della Compagnia Olandese delle Indie Orientali (V.O.C. / Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie). Il primo posizionamento delle bandiere inglesi nel quadrante superiore sinistro suggerisce che questa carta potrebbe essere stata copiata da una fonte inglese, anche se probabilmente derivata da una carta delle bandiere olandesi pubblicata da Cornelis Danckerts intorno al 1700. Johann Baptist Homann è stato un geografo e cartografo tedesco; nel 1702 fondò la sua casa editrice. Homann acquisì fama come uno dei principali cartografi tedeschi, e nel 1715 fu nominato geografo imperiale dall'imperatore Carlo VI. Nello stesso anno fu anche nominato membro dell'Accademia Prussiana delle Scienze a Berlino. Nel 1716 Homann pubblicò il suo capolavoro Grosser Atlas ueber die ganze Welt. Numerose mappe furono redatte in collaborazione con l'incisore Christoph Weigel. Homann morì a Norimberga nel 1724. Gli successe suo figlio Johann Christoph (1703-1730). L'azienda continuò dopo la sua morte come azienda degli eredi Homann, gestita da Johann Michael Franz e Johann Georg Ebersberger. Dopo successivi cambiamenti nella gestione, l'azienda si sciolse nel 1852. Acquaforte, con bella coloritura editoriale, un piccolo strappo nel margine bianco inferiore, per il resto in ottime condizioni. A very attractive flag chart issued by Johann Baprist Homann. The plate features 139 flags of various nations, factions, and trading companies. Among the more interesting flags are those of the Dutch West India Company (G.W.C. /Geoctroyeerde Westindische Compagnie) and the Dutch East India Company (V.O.C. / Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie). The premier placement of English flags in the upper left quadrant suggest that this chart may have been copied from an English source. This map is probably derived from a Dutch flag chart issued by Cornelis Danckerts c. 1700. Johann Baptist Homann was a German geographer and cartographer; in 1702 he founded his own publishing house. Homann acquired renown as a leading German cartographer, and in 1715 was appointed Imperial Geographer by Emperor Charles VI. In the same year he was also named a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. In 1716 Homann published his masterpiece Grosser Atlas ueber die ganze Welt; numerous maps were drawn up in cooperation with the engraver Christoph Weigel the Elder. Homann died in Nuremberg in 1724 and was succeeded by his son Johann Christoph (1703-1730). The company carried on upon his death as Homann heirs company, managed by Johann Michael Franz and Johann Georg Ebersberger. After subsequent changes in management the company folded in 1852. Etching with fine original colour, a small tear in the white bottom margin, otherwise in good condition.
