Entrepreneurs : LAZIES (maçonnerie). MATHELIN et GARNIER (Fontainerie). Rare et important ouvrage illustré de 6 photographies originales, dont 2 sur double page, et de 19 planches doubles, techniques et architecturales, témoignant de l’ampleur des travaux effectués à Montmartre à la fin du XIXe siècle, afin d’améliorer l’alimentation en eau d’un quartier en pleine croissance démographique. En effet, les sources naturelles présentes sur les flancs de la butte qui alimentèrent longtemps de nombreuses fontaines ne suffisaient plus : il fallait donc aller capter de l’eau de rivières (ce que permet dès 1834 une machine hydraulique édifiée à Saint-Ouen), la monter au sommet – au moyen d’une pompe à vapeur -, et enfin la stocker, d’où la construction en 1835 d’un château d’eau qui fonctionnera jusqu’en 1927. A partir de 1887, sous la houlette d’Adolphe Alphand, Directeur des Travaux de la Ville de Paris, sont entrepris deux chantiers de grande envergure. Le premier est la construction de deux réservoirs (un « grand » et un « petit »), dotés d’une capacité totale de 11 000 m3, dont la conception est confiée aux ingénieurs Bechmann et Journet et les plans sont dressés par l’architecte Diet (photographies 4 et 5). L’ouvrage occupe l’emplacement de l’ancien pressoir à raisins de l’abbaye des Dames de Montmartre, rue Azaïs, sur une colline sableuse à environ 128 m d’altitude. La nature du sol complexifie énormément les travaux, d'autant que l'usage du béton pour les fondations, d'un coût prohibitif, est exclu. Les deux concepteurs ont donc misé sur la pression de l'eau contenue dans les réservoirs pour stabiliser le banc de sable présent à cet endroit. Néanmoins, une partie de ce sable (avec les gravats) fut évacuée par des wagonnets tirés par une locomotive à vapeur (photographie 3), tandis que l'on imaginait d'ingénieux systèmes pour garantir l'étanchéité de l'édifice. Le sous-sol, les murs et le sol sont donc réalisés en meulière, les voûtes de la couverture en briquettes, et les piliers intérieurs en maçonnerie de brique de Bourgogne. Autre contrainte : la proximité du Sacré-Cœur (édifié à partir de 1886), qui requiert une harmonisation du style décoratif du bâtiment avec l’architecture néo-byzantine de la basilique (photographie 6), et là intervient le calcaire blanc des carrières de Souppes-sur-Loing et Château-Landon. Le second chantier de cette même année 1887 est celui de la nouvelle usine de relevage (ou élévatoire) Saint-Pierre, qui alimente à la fois le château d’eau et le réservoir. Ce dernier, définitivement opérationnel en 1889, pourvu de respectivement deux et trois étages, distribue l’eau dans les quartiers bas de Montmartre encore de nos jours. Les deux premières photographies, sur doubles pages, prises en 1886 et 1889, attestent de la transformation du paysage de la butte lorsque les réservoirs sont achevés.
18503448Great Britain 1850. Comprised of 88 manuscript pages of mathematical definitions tables methods and exercises in a single hand with the ownership signature of "Caroline Waters Age 16 yrs" to the front endpaper. Marbled paper vernacular binding measuring 8 x 12 inches and stitched at spine. Caroline's metric measurements and English currency reveal her to be a student somewhere in the UK. Though the commonness of her name and the absence of a specific date prevents us from locating her in genealogy records the manuscript she left behind reveals much about how and why girls of her age and class were being taught arithmetic.<br /> <br /> Caroline's elegant practiced hand suggests that she is a member of the rising middle class and the opening of the book suggests that she is a beginning to intermediate mathematician. At the top of the first page she defines Arithmetic as "the art of computing by numbers" which "has five principal sic rules for this purpose viz. Numeration Subtraction Addition Multiplication and Division." Using this definition she divides her notebook into a section for each providing a definition for that principle plus clear-cut examples of its use in both Simple and Compound formats. Numeration Subtraction and Addition are grouped together at the front; and after these sections conclude Caroline enters in Practical Questions in Compound Addition and Subtraction. These involve word problems involving the exchange of money and the calculation of wet and dry weights cloth measurements and time. She then mirrors this with Multiplication and Division before adding sections on Decimal Fractions more Practical Questions and sections on Federal Money and Simple Interest.<br /> <br /> The organization of the manuscript suggests that Caroline copied it out for continued reference where sections are easy to locate and problems clearly illustrate each of the principles. And the emphasis in sample problems on currency conversion monetary exchange and banking implies that her family in some way wanted her to be aware of these concepts.<br /> <br /> An exceptional and rich document Caroline's notebook is a rich resource for study including but not limited to the history of women's education middle class education women's domestic use of mathematics women in business paleography genealogy gender studies. unknown

1890List2833Shasta County and Siskiyou County 1890. Fifteen photographs approximately 4 ½ x 7 ½ inches. Each mounted on heavy cardboard backing approximately 5 ½ x 8 ½ inches which is mounted on heavy cardboard of approximately 8 x 10 ½ inches. Unknown if photographs are stamped verso due to mounting. Some with recent captions on the largest mount; some captions likely incorrect see description. Fine contrast overall fine condition. Raper James Waters 1856–1937 was a professional photographer from Sacramento California. He was first active as a photographer in Gold Hill Nevada in the 1880s. Following this he returned to California and had studios in Berkeley and San Francisco between the late 1880s and mid-1920s. Offered here is a collection of fifteen of Waters’ photographs from around Mount Shasta likely from the late 1880s or 1890s.<br /> <br /> The photographs are mainly from places in Siskiyou County where Mount Shasta is located including shots of the towns of Sisson now Mount Shasta and Dunsmuir Sisson and Dunsmuir are on the Siskiyou Trail an ancient Native American footpath running from the San Francisco area to Portland Oregon. The Central Pacific Railroad Company completed a train line along the Siskiyou Trail in 1887; one shot from an unknown location shows railroad tracks rounding a curve among felled trees. Just outside of Dunsmuir is the Shasta Springs resort mislabeled here as Shasta Bottling Works famous for its springwater – the fountains of water in the photograph are from pressurized pipes coming from the springs.<br /> <br /> Other captioned photographs show Castle Crags hikers summiting Mount Shasta Mossbrae Falls and Castle Lake mislabeled as Crystal Lake. Photographs also show campers with their tent small houses a canoe on a lake and snowy winter scenes. Overall a striking set of photographs. unknown

This copy is undated but has the same title and imprint as the dated first edition of 1856 so we have assumed that it is from that year. Russell's works were often republished but with different titles which is not the case here. Bound with and after BELL Robert The Ladder of Gold. An English Story London:G. Routledge & Co. 1858. vi 7-440. Navy blue half calf marbled paper covered boards spine decorated in blind and with two tan morocco labels lettered in gilt. Rubbing to edges and slight bumping and creasing to corners. All edges marbled. Front pastedown has Ex Libris of C. Villiers Downes. Apsley House Beds. Robert Bell 1800-67 was a prolific man of letters best known for his journalism and his never completed annotated edition of the English poets. The Ladder of Gold was one of two novels. But of the two works bound together here it is the second which is of greater interest hence our cataloguing it as the principal work. William Russell 1806-1876 was one of the first writers to concentrate on detective stories in particular police memoirs. He began by contributing stories to magazines ten of which were published in pirated form in America in 1852 and 1853. These together with another two were then published legitimately in England in 1856. This is the present collection. The stories are short punchy realistic and would have seemed quite revolutionary at the time. Indeed he is sometimes cited as an influence on the grittier American twentieth century crime writers.
