Kennedy with famous Rangeley guide G. L. F. Ball as Manager. In 1879 club buildings were built by Ball on the spit of land between Sysladobsis or Dobsis and Pocumcus lakes. <br/>The first portion of the book transcribes Ball's letters 1872-1894 discussing his marriage money woes and fish hatchery business. Ball who had been a guide in the Rangeley region since the early 1860s worked for the club until 1898 and died the following year. The history includes a calendar of notable dates including construction poker hands an earthquake persons falling into the rivers and the disappearance of N.O. Shaw on 19 December 1907; his body was found the next June. Weather records include Ice Out dates earliest 22 April 1878 latest 16 May 1888 extremes of temperature in summer and winter. There is a long register of fishermen and visitors and logs of fishing catches and game bags. Many names from the Dennison clan appear over the years. The work is illustrated throughout with high quality photographs: portraits of members and views of the club sometimes two to a plate. The last entries for seven members visiting in Spring 1912 are in manuscript.<br/>The club appears to have continued in existence through the early 1940s. unknown books
1982140940258Melbourne Australia: Fast Forward 1982. Complete run of 13 issues in 12 #008/009 is a double issue. Magazines often folded and sometimes staple bound with a variety of folded inserts with cassettes housed in silk-screened colored plastic wallets. Near Fine condition overall appearing to contain all inserts etc.; slightly rubbed and soiled occasional slight creasing to inserts or oxidation to staples. Small tear to rear wallet of #005. Issue 008/009 wallet gilt lettering well-rubbed. Offsetting to wallet of #011. Rare as a set. One of the very first cassette magazines which was popular financially successful and proved to be influential in the burgeoning global "cassette culture" of '80s independent music directly spawning such other projects as Sub Pop editor/ label head Bruce Pavitt was a contributor to the double-issue and the UK's Mix. The audio portion was structured somewhat like an old-timey news broadcast featuring new music as well as interviews with musicians. In addition to featuring the sounds of Aussies The Birthday Party Primitive Calculators Dead Can Dance Scientists and the Go-Betweens et al many prominent cutting-edge British and American musicians such as Pere Ubu The Clash The Fall The Residents Adam and the Ants and Gang of Four were interviewed and sometimes provided songs. Being Australian the magazine was bound to have a sense of humor. Robert Smith of The Cure got in on the act and provided "A Few Stylish Tips" in #013 about how he obtained that perfect lift for his '80s hair: soap and water. Crossword puzzles became a feature early on. Also Michael Trudgeon's design of the magazine was inspired growing in sophistication throughout the run adding inserts steadily stylishly utilizing only one or two colors in the printing process. A real acme of early '80s independent music print and design cultures. Its run lends credence to the idea that post-punk truly went beyond punk in many ways. Fast Forward unknown books

An excellent and fully captioned photograph album of summer trout fishing and camping in the Rangeley district at Loon Lake Maine and other places of interest.

Lewis York family fishing camp including several fine images of York often with a bear cub on a lead 66 photographs on 17 leaves ; and the second undated to Green Lake Mike Marr's camp at Indian Pond to Squaw Mountain Pond with Fred Lessor guide and to Moosehead Lake and the Kennebec 36 photographs on 9 leaves. <br/><br/>Three trips to Nova Scotia in 1914 1919 and 1923 to the Kedgemakoogee Rod and Gun Club on Kedgemakoogee Lake the Shelburne River and other trout fishing excursions 139 photographs on 37 leaves.

1920WRCAM45906Maine and various places in Europe 1920. A total of 248 original photographic prints. Oblong octavo albums. Original black morocco spines gilt titles as transcribed below. Albums with some shelf wear; European album slightly cocked lower portion of front joint splitting. The photographs are clean and in excellent condition. An outstanding collection of photographic images of scenes in Maine coastal France and the Channel Islands. The photographs were taken by an MIT Professor who apparently vacationed in Maine on a regular basis and who also visited England and France in the year before the outbreak of World War I. The albums of Maine images ably show the natural beauty of far western Maine while the album of scenes in France and England captures life in small villages and towns in Normandy Brittany and the Channel Islands before the peace of the region was shattered by the Great War. Two of the albums feature silver gelatin prints that have been printed directly onto the album sheets with accompanying handwritten captions. The third album consists of photographic prints affixed to sheets of the album. <br> <br> Though without ownership signatures we attribute these albums to Ralph Restieaux Lawrence a Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT. These albums came with other photographic albums made by Lawrence on trips to the American West and Canada featuring photographs done in a similar style captioned and bound as these albums. Ralph Restieaux Lawrence b. 1873 was born in Cambridge Massachusetts and graduated from MIT in 1895. He taught electrical engineering at MIT from 1896 to 1941 and apparently enjoyed photography and traveling as the present albums would indicate. <br> <br> The three albums are: <br> <br> 1 HEALD POND MAINE 1907. Thirty-nine original photographic prints most approximately 3 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches each print affixed to a sheet in the album the sheets measuring 8 x 10 inches. Original oblong octavo album. This album contains a series of lovely photographs of the area around Heald Pond in west-central Maine not far from the Canadian border. Heald Pond is known for its natural beauty - ably captured in these photographs - and for its hiking trails. The photographs in this album are uncaptioned but show a number of images of the large pond and surrounding area as well as cabins and campsites. <br> <br> 2 PHOTOGRAPHS EUROPE 1913. 162 original silver gelatin prints approximately 3 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches each printed directly onto a sheet in the album the sheets measuring 6 3/4 x 9 1/4 inches. Each image is identified by a manuscript caption on the facing sheet. Original oblong octavo album. The pictures show scenes in France and England mostly in the regions of Brittany and Normandy the Channel Islands of Jersey Guernsey and Sark and the towns of Warwick and Stratford- upon-Avon. Many of the photographs show life in villages or larger towns such as Caen in Normandy. There are a number of photographs of scenes in and around the Brittany village of Concarneau including market scenes fetes and scenes along the port but other villages such as Pont-Aven and Vitre are included as well. Many of the photographs in the British islands show castles ruins towns and coastal scenes. In all a magnificent series of photographs of this region on the verge of World War I. <br> <br> 3 PHOTOGRAPHS ATTEAN MAINE 1920. Forty- seven original silver gelatin prints on average 3 x 5 inches one of them a panoramic photo 3 x 13 1/2 inches on a folded sheet each printed directly onto a sheet in the album the sheets 7 x 9 1/2 inches.
