193946634Shanghai: Nishimura Company 1939. Edition not stated.

Slipcover worn and chapped with abrasions and two large one repaired tears across front panel. Photo-illustrated pastedowns and endpapers. Very Good in Good slipcover. All text in Japanese with some obsolete/antiquated kana/kanji oriented right to left. This is a privately-issued commemorative yearbook-type photo album shashin-cho published on behalf of the Imperial Japanese Army medical forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War 1937-1945. Specifically it was produced for those who served under military physician captains/commanding officers Nobuo Isa and Tetsuo Fukaya who were stationed in or near Shanghai at the time.<br/><br/>By July 1939 the Imperial Japanese Army was beginning to feel the impact of its own mounting casualties and costs; the Chinese Red Army would launch a major offensive later that November. While the Japanese occupation of Shanghai was notably brutal there is little evidence of violence in this album. However some photographs do depict the aftermath of battle with ruined buildings and soldiers being treated for injuries. Other subjects are mundane in nature: Staff and group portraits hospitals and other facilities physicians at work company events and ceremonies. Also includes photographs of Shanghai and a fold-out map of the Hangzhou Bay area. Apparently not cataloged in OCLC or available commercially as of November 2019. Nishimura Company unknown books
186429021415Anthony Coventry RI 1864-1894. General wear and toning. The smaller of the two notebooks has semi detached covers. . A set of two notebooks containing nearly thirty years of the meeting minutes of the annual July 4 gathering of the Coventry Factory Fire Engine Company. These minutes includes a list of members and officers voted in each year as well all the outcome of any topic put to vote. The meetings take place in Anthony RI which is a small village within Coventry RI. The smaller copybook is completely full and contains minutes from their annual meetings dating from 1864 to 1881. The second and larger notebook begins where the first notebook left off in 1882 and continues until 1890 when at the annual meeting there was no quorum present and as such "the charter of the company was declared forfeited sic and the company disbanded." In August of 1893 the company was reorganized under the old charter. Four more meetings follow in 1893 with the last meeting recorded stating that the fire company met to compete at the Kent Co. Fair and won the third prize of ten dollars. Included with this set are several receipts and notes of the fire company. There are eight 8 receipts dating between 1893-1894 two of them are undated. One scrap piece of paper which served as a draft for a portion of one of the annual meeting minutes. A roll call list of members from the 1893 annual meeting. A list of dues paid by each individual member. And lastly a note dated September 15 1893 which certifies that the fire company won the third prize in the Hand Engine Contest Open at the Kent Co. Fair. Below is an excerpt from one of the entries: "The squirt gun was tested and proved very satisfactory. It was voted that Lt Capt Byron Matteson be a committed to inspect the Hay Cart and any other machine he may see fit and report as soon as posable. There being more business the meeting adjourned to the call of the Captain." - August 3 1893 Meeting These journals most likely belonged to Arthur J.

Single leaf evidently extracted from a nonce volume with traces of calf along one edge 12.75 x 8 inches with a printed docket title on the verso. An early example of industry lobbying a petition to Parliament on the loss of jobs across England due to public mourning; among those affected by the evident sumptuary restrictions and named here include weavers silk-dyers silk-throwers traders with Turkey and Italy and the white bone lace-makers of Bedford Buckingham and Northampton who "amount to Fourty Thousand sic whose whole Dependence was on this Manufacture and are now by Reason of this Present Mourning Reduc'd to the last Extremity by the Loss of their Trade". Hanson assigns the date 1706 to this petition which is followed by ESTC which notes a single copy at Chetham's Library in Manchester--though given that the text begins "That at the Death of the Prince of Denmark the Colour'd Silk Goods in the Mercers Hands within the Bills of Mortality by a Moderate Computation Amounted to the Value of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pounds and upwards; the greatest Part whereof lyes Dead on their Hands to this Day" this would suggest that the plea dates to after the death of Queen Anne's consort Prince George of Denmark and Norway Duke of Cumberland on October 28 1708; further the History and Proceedings of the House of Commons: 1706-1713 London 1742 vol. 4 pp. 139-140 notes taking up a petition on February 2 1709 O.S. from the Cities of London and Westminster on this very problem with specific phrases of this text integrated.

19671458751967. Archive of eight vintage borderless photographs three typescript essays and a carbon typescript of the first essay and first page of the second by photographer Jerry Bauer circa 1967 with the photographs corresponding to the topics of the essays. <br/><br/>Bauer was an American photographer best known for his photographic portraits of writers with his portraits of Samuel Beckett being held in particularly high regard. Much of his work resides in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London.<br/><br/>The first essay "The American Underground: Mind Expansion A Messiah 'Love'" is an examination of Timothy Leary and the "League for Spiritual Discovery" LSD a communal organization carrying out studies in the religious use of psychedelic drugs as well as the effects of LSD. Two photographs are of the New York Millbrook estate mentioned in the essay one of the centers for the group one photograph of the estate itself and the other of two participants on the porch. Another photograph shows three young people lounging on a bed a young man with beads in his hand matching the description in the essay of a subject's focus on "a set of beads" and a description of the living quarters being ". . . simple: mattresses on the floor." <br/><br/>The second essay "American Underground : Mind Expansion The Poets 'Love' 2" is broken into three sections. The first is about the musical group The Fugs who Bauer describes as "the Beatles of the American underground." Two of the photographs in and around Washington Square Park feature members of The Fugs one of a gleaming Ed Sanders and Geoff Outlaw with two unidentified young women. In a second photograph the same group is on the grass along with Ken Weaver and a third unidentified young woman.<br/><br/>The second section of the essay is about "the two stars" of the underground film movement Andy Warhol stars Baby Jane Holzer and Edie Sedgewick with a corresponding photograph taken in Warhol's Factory showing Ingrid Superstar sitting on a mattress Baby Jane Holzer on the floor with her back to the camera along with several unidentified subjects. Holzer is identified from a published photograph by Bauer titled "Baby Jane Holzer" taken at the same time as the one in the archive.<br/><br/>The final section of the essay is a about American youth and drug culture in Greenwich Village as well as the neighborhood itself. Here the related photographs are of several young people seated on the grass one playing the guitar in Washington Square Park and one of several people standing around a Greenwich Village intersection.<br/><br/>The third essay "Andy Warhol: Film Director of America's Underground" is a study of Warhol's early experimental films. Beginning with a brief summation of Warhol's early career Bauer goes on to postulate about Warhol's films discussing the director's various regulars including Elekro Baby Jane Holzer Sally Kirkland Nico here spelled "Nicot" and others.<br/><br/>Photographs: Six photographs 10.75 x 8.25 inches two photographs 10.75 x 8 inches.
