Notre-Dame de France est une vaste et puissante bâtisse dont la construction organisée par les Assomptionistes débute à la fin du XIXe siècle. Située sur une des collines qui domine Jérusalem elle témoigne d'une grandeur passée où elle accueillit et protégea les pèlerins de passage dans la Ville sainte. L'édifice fut également considéré comme un institut scientifique: les Assomptionistes disposèrent rapidement d'une imprimerie et d'une grande bibliothèque et contribuèrent à immortaliser la Palestine et Jérusalem en se livrant à des travaux photographiques voir Dominique Trimbur « Une présence française en Palestine - Notre-Dame de France » in Bulletin du Centre de recherche français de Jérusalem 1998.

1912224371912. Schwartz Isidor Publisher. Vi Azoy Tsu Veren a Sitizen. / The Citizen: A Guide to Naturalization. All Important Questions and Answers Printed in Hebrew and Yiddish Also Translations in Plain English Which You are to Know When Applying for Your Final Citizen Papers. Brooklyn: Aroysgegeben fun Isidor Schwartz / Published by Isidor Schwartz n.d. after 1912. Only edition. 31 pages. Text in English and Yiddish both transliterated and Hebrew script. 6" x 4.5". Stapled pamphlet in printed wrappers.<br /> <br /> An immigrant-era Yiddish-English naturalization guide for Jewish immigrants preparing to become U.S. citizens published by Isidor Schwartz in Brooklyn. This vernacular instructional manual contains sample questions and answers in three formats: English Yiddish in Hebrew script and transliterated English in Latin script referred to on the cover as "Jewish-English". Designed for oral preparation it walks new arrivals through both general and localized questions commonly asked at the naturalization interview particularly for applicants in New York. Questions range from general American civics-"How does a bill become a law"-to specific regional knowledge-"What is the capital of New York State" and "How many stars has the American flag" The answer is noted as "Forty-eight stars" dating the publication to after Arizona and New Mexico's 1912 admission but before Alaska and Hawaii. The phrasing used-"We vote for the candidate who is in our opinion best fitted to occupy the office he wishes to be elected to"-illustrates the pamphlet's focus on simplified phonetic civic literacy.<br /> <br /> A vital artifact of Jewish immigrant life and Americanization in the early 20th century this pamphlet exemplifies how Jewish community publishers mediated state bureaucracies for recent arrivals. Yiddish language guides like this one offered more than instruction-they were part of the infrastructure of mutual aid and cultural transition particularly within New York's dense immigrant communities.<br /> <br /> Fragile condition with moderate chipping and edgewear to front and rear wrappers covers and first page disbound; interior pages clean and legible. Overall good condition. A scarce and historically significant publication supporting Jewish American integration during a peak period of Yiddish-speaking immigration; OCLC locates only 8 institutional holdings worldwide. unknown
1956575Chicago: American Aviation Publications 1956. 35 1/2 x 24 3/4 inches. Very good. There are approximately 74 airlines listed in the legend. This was an era of airline regulation so there was not much competition between airlines as routes were awarded and traded among airlines. The seventy-four airlines include international airlines flying into the and out of the U.S. Additionally there was on the map New York helicopter airways providing service between LaGuardia Idlewild and downtown. The was the propeller era. The passenger jet was not put into service until December 10 1958. American Airlines offered the first domestic jet service using its own planes on January 25 1959 using a leased Boeing 707. Consequently planes like the Lockheed Constellation were used. The Connie first went into service in 1943. It had a pressurized cabin. This allowed it to fly over weather making plane travel more comfortable. Additionally it was capable of longer hauls where coast to coast flights were desirable. It could cruise at 313 mph and had an effective range of 2.850 miles. This map epitomizes the high point of propeller aviation for passenger traffic in the United States. American Aviation Publications unknown
