193946634Shanghai: Nishimura Company 1939. Edition not stated. Quarto 26.5cm; black simulated leather stamped in red and gilt in brown paper slipcover; unpaginated photo-illustrated plates w/ rice paper overlays. Wear minor scuffs and soiling to boards; toning and foxing intermittent throughout text especially on overlays; some overlays creased or torn. 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
1960233821960. Industrial factory photograph archive documenting large scale machining systems automated tooling equipment and precision manufacturing processes during the height of postwar American industrial expansion circa 1960s. Several scenes feature Sundstrand branded machinery associated with the Sundstrand Corporation a major Rockford Illinois manufacturer of machine tools aerospace components and industrial automation systems during the Cold War industrial economy. By the 1960s American factories increasingly relied on massive numerically controlled machining equipment capable of producing aircraft parts turbine components and heavy industrial hardware with levels of precision unattainable in earlier manually operated machine shops. These photographs record the physical scale of that transition capturing the integration of computerized or semi automated production systems into factory environments that formed the backbone of aerospace defense transportation and heavy manufacturing industries during the period.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 9 Large Silver Gelatin photographs each 8" x 10" circa 1960s. Interior factory scenes show enormous industrial machining centers occupying tiled production floors beneath overhead lighting and exposed structural systems. Multiple photographs depict large circular indexing tables rotary cutting assemblies suspended tooling heads and enclosed control units bearing visible "Sundstrand" identification. Engineers and machinists wearing shop coats and protective glasses appear adjusting tooling mechanisms calibrating machine components and servicing cutting assemblies surrounded by heavy cables hydraulic systems and banks of industrial controls. Several machines are shown actively engaged in metal cutting operations with curled metal shavings accumulating beneath rotating tooling heads and across surrounding platforms. One scene captures technicians removing or fitting a large machined component beneath a circular cutting apparatus while another documents reel based electronic control equipment integrated into the production system reflecting the growing use of automated process control in industrial manufacturing during the decade.<br /> <br /> The 1960s marked a decisive transformation in American manufacturing as industries shifted from conventional machining toward automated and numerically controlled production methods capable of supporting aerospace engineering military procurement automotive manufacturing and mass industrial output. Companies such as Sundstrand played a central role in supplying the specialized tooling and machine systems that allowed factories to machine increasingly complex metal components at industrial scale. Some curling scattered edge and surface wear as well as foxing to margins; images remain sharp with strong detail. Overall in good condition. The photographs preserve direct visual evidence of the machinery labor practices and production environments that defined late midcentury industrialization before many such facilities were modernized outsourced or dismantled during later waves of deindustrialization. unknown

1900178581900. Women at Work Albumen photo of women at work in a small factory. Photograph measures 7.75" x 5.5" inches and is on gray photographer's board measuring 8.5" x 6.5" inches. Circa 1900s. Albumen print. Women sitting at long wooden tables in small manufacturing shop. Palm-sized rings hang in loops from the ceiling and can be seen scattered throughout the photo. One woman in a long white dress holds length of material looking it over while another sitting behind her and across and wooden aisle looks away from the camera toward her desktop. Two other women can be seen seated behind her further back into the shop. A man in shirt and vest appears to be observing the women at work while another man at the back of the shop appears to be using some sort of pressing device. It's unclear what's being manufactured but the details of materials and workplace layout give rich details to take in. The women would have been part of a growing female workforce utilized to support production in the midst of industrialization. Overall very good condition. unknown
1920173461920. 1920s vintage sepia photograph of around 50 women at work in a textile factory. The photographer's board is 10" x 8" inches and image is 8.25" x 5" inches. The women are seated in long rows and armed with sewing machines and seem to be turning bundles of cloth into garments. Spools of thread hang down from a center rail in the middle of the table to be fed into the sewing machines. Some of the cloth appears to be polka-dotted similar to the dresses that several women pictured appear to be wearing. The factory is consisted almost entirely of women - there is one man in a waistcoat walking around accompanied by an older woman. The working women seem to be of varying ages from their early 20s into their 50s. Textile manufacturing was unique at the time for its overwhelmingly female labor force. Sepia toned very good condition with great detail. unknown
1871165651871. Women Employment Labor To the Right Honorable Richard Assheton Cross M.P. Secretary of Sate for the Home Department. 1871. 4 pages. 8 x 5 in. In this document women workers express fears regarding proposed labor regulations that would limit their ability to earn and would "restrict the paid labour of all women.or even make all married women half-timers." They claim it is unjust treatment that would harm women workers and pit their marriages at odds with their ability to work: "Your Memorialists assert that it is unjust to place restriction son the labour of unmarried women for the presumed protection of married women or mothers and further that any special restrictions upon the labour of married women is practically a penalty imposed on marriage as regards to the woman." Document that reveals the competing priorities for women factory workers between workplace safety and their earning power. Chipping with small losses along top and right edge. Repairs to two tears on page 2. Top left corner missing. Good only. unknown
