19154231West Plains Mo: West Plains Journal 1915. Very good. Printed broadsheet 10 x 5.5 inches plus separate "Map of Howell County Mo." 9.75 x 7.25 inches. Even tanning and old folds to broadsheet; minor wear to map old folds a few manuscript additions to the area of the map two contemporary marginal ink stamps. A pair of unrecorded Missouri real estate promotional items from the early 20th century. The first is a broadsheet entitled Howell County Had a Fine Year in Nineteen Fifteen. The two pages of text tout the productive year of the agricultural scene in the county which was awarded the blue ribbon two years in a row at the Missouri State Fair. They also detail the amount of available land for cultivation and grazing as well as the production of livestock and other products for several towns in Howell County including West Plains Mountain View Willow Springs Brandsville Hutton Valley Olden Burnham and Pomona. The broadsheet was issued by a land speculator in the area named C.P. Harper & Son who also issued the accompanying plat map of Howell County. Two notations - one in blue pencil and the other in red pencil - indicate two parcels of land presumably sold by Harper. The margins of the map contain two small ink stamps belonging to "C.P. Harper & Son Real Estate Brokers West Plains Mo." We could locate neither of these items in OCLC or auction history. West Plains Journal unknown
19103574Hartline Wa: E.D. Reinhart 1910. Good plus. Large format sepia-toned albumen photograph 6.25 x 8.25 inches on a slightly larger gray studio mat stamped "E.D. Reinhart Hartline Wash." at lower middle. Small abrasions and scratches to mat above the photograph one small scratch to right side of image minor rubbing moderate edge wear. A handsome photograph showing four farmers sowing wheat in a barren landscape near Hartline Washington in the early-20th century. Each farmer stands atop a seed drill pulled by a team of horses or a combination of horses and mules fanned out in front of the drivers. The photographer E.D. Reinhart seems to have been an obscure producer as records on him are scant to nothing with no listings in OCLC nor any results from newspaper or census inquiries. A perhaps unique image of agricultural history from Washington State. E.D. Reinhart unknown
1960233401960. Tennessee farming photo archive documenting the mechanized field system that shaped agricultural production in the state around 1960 when tractors spreaders trucks and specialized equipment were increasingly central to how crops brought to market. Images show not only open fields and rural landscapes but the practical sequence of maintenance loading machine use and crop inspection preserving direct evidence of how midcentury farm business functioned on the ground. The archive belongs to the postwar transformation of Tennessee agriculture when commercial production depended more heavily on machinery purchased inputs and larger-scale field management than on the smaller hand-labor model that had dominated many earlier farms.<br /> <br /> Photo archive 111 black and white photographs of varying sizes including contact sheets measurments range from 2.5" x 3.5" to 8" x 10" Tennessee circa 1960s. The contact sheets show repeated views of a large tractor with oversized flotation tires and a hopper or spreader attachment moving through open fields parked near outbuildings or positioned beside a loading auger as material is transferred into the machine. Several frames focus on men in work clothes servicing the equipment kneeling at the wheel assembly handling tools and working in close formation around the tire hub while other images widen to long fields planted in straight evenly spaced rows across rolling ground. Smaller prints extend the sequence with field-level views of crop growth a man standing among planted rows a tractor moving through cut or flattened vegetation and a muddy repair scene beside farm machinery. Versos carry manuscript identifications and captions on some prints including "Porter's Potato 1960" "Joe 1960" and "Love 1960" anchoring parts of the archive to named individuals and a specific crop reference.<br /> These photographs preserve the business side of Tennessee agriculture at midcentury when production increasingly relied on equipment investment field chemicals or fertilizer application machine maintenance and efficient management of acreage spread across open rural land. Tennessee farmers in the 1960s worked within a changing agricultural economy shaped by mechanization declining dependence on hand labor and stronger integration into commercial commodity markets and this archive shows that transition through the visible relationship between workers machinery and planted fields. Some curling to smaller prints and light surface wear; manuscript captions and identifications present on some versos. Overall very good condition. The archive shows how Tennessee farm production operated at the level of named workers machines and cultivated land during the early 1960s. unknown

1653017327The Kings-head in the Old Bayley: John Wright 1653. Third edition small square octavo pp 18 274 12 lacking the engraved frontispiece and with only one of two engraved folding plates two full page woodcut illustrations and a small woodcut within the text the remaining title page a little stained the hinge at the title page cracked and open but still very sound the hinge at the rear similar but weaker the free endpaper ar the rear loose and frayed a little age-toning throughout but otherwise quite clean and sound old half calf and boards rubbed and worn the joints beginning to split. The title page runs over two pages - the first part pictorial and engraved the second part letterpress; it is the engraved part which is missing in this copy. With the armorial bookplate of John Norcliffe Preston. Blith's books on husbandry show notable good sense based on the author's and others' farming experience. He presents his judgements and opinions carefully and made textual changes in subsequent editions to describe new farming practices. His "The English Improver or A New Survey of Husbandry" was dedicated to both houses of Parliament and to the "ingenuous reader". A second edition appeared in the same year and third "much augmented" in 1652 with a second part containing "Six Newer Pieces of Improvement". This was dedicated to Cromwell the council of state nobility gentry soldiers husbandmen cottagers labourers and the meanest commoner. The new information concerned new crops such as woad clover sainfoin lucerne etc. This copy offered is yet another edition of 1653. Blith intended to write a further book on animal husbandry but apparently did not complete it. His Parliamentarian sympathies prevented any of his work reappearing after the Restoration of 1660. The books were written "in our own natural country language and in our ordinary and usual home-spun terms". He urged agricultural improvement but showed less enthusiasm for enclosure through his concern for the poor: enclosure should not be allowed to cause depopulation. Enclosure had in fact caused turmoil in his village of Cotesbach in 1603 and made it a centre of the Midland revolt of 1607. Though Blith showed sympathy for the common man and understood the aspirations of the Diggers he did not think the latter were realistic. Blith's ideas brought some improvement in techniques but the period of peace under the Commonwealth was short-lived and in general substantial improvement had to wait for the Agricultural Revolution of the next century.

de XVIII, 435 et (1) pages plein basane racinée de l'époque, dos lisse portant une pièce de titre en maroquin rouge (manque de cuir sur les coupes et les coins, mais reliure de très bonne tenue) 1755, 1755, in-12, de XVIII, 435 et (1) pages, plein basane racinée de l'époque, dos lisse portant une pièce de titre en maroquin rouge (manque de cuir sur les coupes et les coins, mais reliure de très bonne tenue), Cinquième édition. La première fut publiée à Londres en 1753. L'épître dédicatoire, l'avertissement et la seconde partie sur l'agriculture ne furent ajoutés qu'à la quatrième édition, parue à Berlin en 1754, et dont découle directement cette cinquième. Passionnante étude dans laquelle l'auteur lutte contre le conservatisme (et un certain nationalisme) économique : "Depuis l'Arrêt du Conseil du 17 Septembre 1754, qui permet le commerce des grains dans le Royaume, et leur sortie par quelques portes du Languedoc, il aurait été inutile de s'étendre encore sur cette liberté, si quelques personnes ne la regardaient comme dangereuse, et s'il n'était pas nécessaire, que le public ne perdit point de vue les motifs de ce nouveau règlement, et sentit les avantages qui peuvent résulter d'un commerce plus étendu [...] La proposition [de la sortie de nos bleds] nous alarme, elle est aussitôt écrasée sous l'autorité de la loi et de l'habitude, on y oppose des difficultés effrayantes, elle n'est ni écoutée, ni examinée". Texte captivant qui nous plonge aux origines de la création, en France, du commerce extérieur, et d'un certain libéralisme, entre les régions du Royaume et avec les autres pays européens.
