1920169341920. California Bay View Hospital photograph album circa 1920s documenting hospital-based nursing labor clinical environments and domestic social networks within an early twentieth-century medical setting. The album provides visual evidence of women's professional roles in institutional healthcare during a period of expanding nursing formalization while also capturing physician authority patient care practices and the integration of therapeutic design principles such as open-air treatment. The material supports research into gendered medical labor hospital culture and evolving standards of care in the interwar United States particularly through its combined focus on clinical social and environmental aspects of institutional medicine.<br /> <br /> Photograph album containing 63 original silver gelatin prints many with handwritten captions identifying individuals as "mother" "Ed" or "our gang" alongside named medical personnel including "Drs. Sowers and Orr and Miss Duffy" "Dr. Burns" and "Mrs. Rehak." A building identified in one image as "Bay View Hospital" provides the only direct institutional reference. Sixteen photographs depict women in nurses' uniforms often posed in groups outdoors or on hospital terraces where rows of empty patient beds are visible behind them indicating the use of open-air treatment spaces. Additional images show physicians in clinical contexts including a group of five men dressed in surgical attire with caps and masks lowered around their necks suggesting an operating team between procedures. One image labeled "Dr. Burns Walter" depicts a young child bathing in a shallow tub under the supervision of an adult male likely documenting pediatric care practices. The album also includes informal photographs of family members children and pets in rural or outdoor settings indicating overlap between professional and personal social worlds.<br /> <br /> The Album has 63 photographs mounted across 100 pages with approximately 70 pages left blank; images measuring approximately 2.75 x 3.5 inches; original black cloth boards; album measuring 7.25 x 11.5 inches. Early twentieth-century hospital design emphasized fresh air as a therapeutic necessity particularly in the treatment of tuberculosis and other chronic illnesses and the repeated presence of outdoor patient beds and staff gatherings reflects these prevailing medical theories in practice. The juxtaposition of clinical and domestic imagery situates nursing staff within both institutional hierarchies and broader social networks offering insight into the lived experience of women working in healthcare during this period. First four pages detached minor wear to boards photographs generally well-preserved with occasional light fading; overall good to very good condition. A cohesive and well-captioned visual record of early twentieth-century hospital life with particular relevance to the history of nursing and medical practice. unknown

1956219672Japan. Showa 31 1956. Melbourne 1956 Olympics scrapbook 26 x 36.3cm 38pp 4 hole string binding hand-written title on front cover. Some largely even browning throughout endpapers a little marked but overall very good. This Japanese scrapbook filled with newspaper clippings from Japanese sources provides a detailed and engaging record of the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games capturing the entire event from its earliest stages to its conclusion. The scrapbook begins with profiles of all Japanese athletes participating in the Games followed by reports on the opening ceremony individual sporting events and the triumphs and disappointments experienced by Japan's competitors. <br> <br>It also includes coverage of notable performances by international athletes and closes with accounts of the closing ceremony. The precise newspaper source for these articles is not identified. <br> <br>Each clipping has been neatly and carefully cut and mounted demonstrating the compiler's dedication and care. The scrapbook was assembled by S. Tanaka in December 1965. Wrapped in paper from a bookshop in Fukuoka it suggests that Tanaka may have been a sports enthusiast living in that region motivated to preserve the memories of Japan’s Olympic efforts. <br> <br>Beyond its sporting content the scrapbook offers insights into the Japanese media's portrayal of the Games and national pride during the post-war period. It serves as both a historical record and a personal testament to one individual's passion. . unknown
176014001London 1760. 315x445mm. 12½x17½". Grabado. London 1760. 287 x 448mm. Grabado al cobre. Coloreado a mano de época. Vista óptica de la ciudad de Lisboa Portugal desde el río. Publicado según acta del Parlamento en 1760. Se trata de la reedición de un grabado de Henry Overton II publicado originalmente en Londres por Robert Sayer en 1752. El mapa pertenece a una de las ediciones realizadas tras el terremoto de Lisboa de 1755. Suele identificarse como una edición londinense pero por sus características puede que haya sido impreso en París al estilo de Maillet de la misma época probablemente imitando las ediciones inglesas. Este mismo grabado fue copiado en muchas ediciones posteriores solo o en libros siendo una de las vistas más conocidas de Lisboa antes del Terremoto. unknown

175110664London: Printed for & Sold by Rob. Sayer at the Golden Buck opposite Fetter Lane Fleet Street. & Hen. Overton at the White Horse without Newgate 1751. Engraved by N. Parr after Canaleti. Engraving with original colour. Printed on laid paper. In good condition with the exception of being trimmed within the platemark. Corners are stained. Image size: 9 3/16 x 15 3/16 inches. A beautiful Vue d'Optique of the Rotunda House at Ranelagh.<br/> <br/> During the eighteenth century "vues d'optique" or "perspective views" became extremely popular in England and Europe. Like other optical prints they capitalized on a connoisseur market eager for the latest novelty. English publishers such as John Bowles and Robert Sayer had great success with these optical views which quickly developed into a collecting craze that swept through print shops on both sides of the Channel. "Vues d'optiques" were specifically designed to create the illusion of perspective when viewed with a zograscope or perspective glass. These viewing devices used a series of reflecting mirrors to enhance the illusion of depth in the print creating a veritable "view" for the onlooker. Typically these prints depicted city or landscape views and were horizontal in format. They had roughly the same dimensions and were sold with heavy opaque colouring so as to show the tints when viewed through the lens. In their heyday optical prints were a technical revolution; they could be seen in almost every fashionable drawing room and were enjoyed by the poorer classes in print shops or at traveling fairs. For a small fee the citizens of Europe and England could travel the world without leaving their village. The "vue d'optique" was the first medium to bring the visible appearance of the wider world to a large European public. Ironically the artists and engravers who created these prints rarely had first hand knowledge of the scenes depicted hence the views were often not as accurate as they were advertised to be. As a result of their constant handling optical prints such as these are rare especially in good condition. They are not only beautiful images but a fascinating glimpse into the history of printmaking.<br/> <br/> Clayton The English Print 1688-1802 140-141. Printed for & Sold by Rob.
