19005954Fulton Pittsburgh 1900. Faux cloth over marbled boards with ownership label to upper left corner with school district and compiler information. Measuring 9 x 11.5 inches and comprised of 22 pages of sketches herbal specimens and sample essays all recto. Firmly bound and with some dampstaining to the lower gutter not affecting text. Representing a range of exercises completed by state normal school student Flora Yagle the book presents researchers with a range of study opportunities including turn of the century pedagogical practice and curricula as well as genealogical and social history work regarding the family structure work and education of first-generation immigrants living on the East Coast. <br /> <br /> One of seven children born to German immigrants Flora Yagle b. 1886-7 clearly grew up in a family that emphasized education and upward mobility. The paper label identifies Yagle as an eighth-year student indicating that she was probably in her early teens when she completed these lessons. Census documents from around the time of her birth and childhood list her father as a foundry worker; and into her adulthood they shift to record him as the general manager of the foundry. Similar ambition was instilled in his children who are documented in census information as students or unemployed during their childhoods with work only appearing in their adulthoods. During Flora's youth she had brothers working as clerks and bookkeepers. By the time of her adulthood she has become a school clerk while her sister has obtained a position as a librarian. <br /> <br /> Part of Flora's training would have been conducted at the Fulton Elementary School located in Pittsburgh's Highland Park. A neighborhood for the rising middle class Highland Park and its schools were still in their infancy while Flora was in hers; while the residential district had been opened in 1879 the school was founded in 1894 and both intended to provide fresh air open spaces and pleasant living to skilled workers and their families who were flocking to Pittsburgh for its work opportunities. Historically Pennsylvania had been a vanguard for public and progressive education. "In his 1830 address to the state legislature Governor George Wold championed the cause of universal public education" as a scaffold for "the security and stability of the individual privileges we have inherited from our ancestors" Explore History. Before the decade was over "more than 1000 local school districts under a single statewide system of instruction" had been founded working to regularize "educational standards curriculum and instructional credentials" in tandem with the 1857 Normal School Act which founded "a network of ten state academies to prepare public school teachers" Explore History. <br /> <br /> Flora's generation was a beneficiary of these policies. Her notebook shows a range of work with creativity and visual arts central to her learning. In addition to pressed floral specimens likely from the school grounds or her home garden her book also contains a visual and textual representation of the spectrum of colors in a rainbow; illustrated lotus blossoms with a short essay on the botanical facts and cultural uses of the flower in Egypt; black and white sketches focused on perspective and shading; geometrical figures designed to be cut out and folded but here present; and figure drawings of children in Victorian clothing much like she and her classmates would wear. <br /> <br /> US Census 1890 1900 1910 1920. unknown

1920497<p><strong>Octavo Publisher's blue cloth 263pp. Folding Photo. Rubber institutional stamps on page edges. No other exterior markings. Small tear at top of spine. Back corner bumped. Very Good copy Dr. Flora Murray was the only woman to serve as a Lieutenant Colonel in the British army during the Great War when she founded the Women's Hospital Corps & recruited women to staff it. In Beatrice Harradens preface in the original text she writes "This record of the work of the Women's Hospital Corps in France and especially at the Military Hospital Endell Street is a valuable contribution to the literature of the Women Movement. Dr. Flora Murray and Dr. Garrett Anderson made history at Endell Street. Through their initiative endeavor and efficiency they opened the doors to further fields of opportunity for women physicians and surgeons and not only for medical women but for all women who are setting out or have already set out to conquer fresh territory. We owe them a debt of gratitude the recognition of which will become even more accentuated as the years go on." A very uncommon work.</strong></p> Hodder and Stoughton hardcover

Acquaforte e acquatinta misure: mm 111 x 158 Pittore e incisore spagnolo, collezionista e antiquario. Di umili origini restò presto orfano ma ebbe i primi insegnamenti dal nonno modellatore di figure in terracotta. Tentò la fortuna trasferendosi nel 1853 presso l'Escuela de Bellas Artes di Barcellona e grazie alle sue doti artistiche vinse il premio Roma nel 1857 che gli permise di proseguire gli studi a Roma. Qui giunse nel 1858 e iniziò a frequentare gli artisti spagnoli, subì l’influsso delle opere di Domenico Morelli e strinse amicizia con il pittore Attilio Simonetti (1843–1925) che lo portò alla scoperta degli artisti napoletani. Simonetti divenne suo allievo e divise con lui lo studio romano. Con lo scoppiare della guerra ispano-marocchina, Fortuny fu chiamato in Marocco per rappresentare e immortalare i momenti più salienti del combattimento tra il 1860 e il 1861. Durante tale soggiorno Fortuny prese ispirazione per molti suoi dipinti sia raffigurando con occhio documentario scorci o tipi pittoreschi sia rielaborando poi in studio in chiave raffinata e decadente certi altri soggetti più esotici e aderenti al gusto orientalista allora di gran moda. Nel 1862 tornò nuovamente in Italia, viaggiando tra Firenze e Napoli dove incontrò l'amico pittore Domenico Morelli, per poi tornare a Roma e aprire un nuovo studio in Via della Purificazione. Artista perennemente in viaggio fra l’Italia, la Spagna e Londra e Parigi dove divenne sodale dei migliori artisti del suo tempo, fu apprezzato e ricercato a livello internazionale per il suo gusto chiaro e cosmopolita. Sposò nel 1867 Cecilia de Madrazo y Garreta figlia del Direttore del Prado e nipote di un noto pittore spagnolo. Fortuny, il più internazionale e cosmopolita dei pittori spagnoli dell’Ottocento, si è dedicato all’incisione proponendo originali soggetti di genere spagnoleggiante o orientalista. La sua opera tradisce la profonda conoscenza dei maestri del passato quali Goya e Rembrandt. Fortuny impiega un segno minuto che si contraddistingue, nella maggior parte delle lastre, per la ricerca di violenti effetti di luce su ambienti in ombra. Le lastre, come la vita stessa dell’autore, sono state soggette a continui rimaneggiamenti oggi ben ricostruiti nel catalogo ragionato basato sullo studio degli esemplari conservati nei musei pubblici. Si possono perciò oggi ben identificare le varie tirature; le prove di lavoro, le tirature coeve e quelle postume fino al 1916 nonché le varie carte impiegate dall’autore. In questa stampa, la numero 20 del catalogo, Fortuny sembra realizzare una sorta di ritratto dal vero, un rapido schizzo sul posto. In realtà si conosce per questa stampa un disegno preparatorio. La scena è immobile, una forte luce solare lascia poco spazio a nette zone d’ombra. Un cavallo di profilo, è fermo al centro di una strada o di una piazza, con la sella montata, i paraocchi e le briglie. Appena oltre l'animale, a destra, vediamo un uomo, un arabo stante avvolto nel suo caftano al suo fianco due grandi vasi in terracotta e una scala. Chiude la scena una quinta architettonica: a sinistra il profilo squadrato di un abitazione alla quale si appoggia un uomo, al centro un arco oltre il quale sembra aprirsi una strada e si scorgono delle persone avvolte nell'ombra, a destra un alto muro bianco. Impressione eccellente dai neri delicati, su carta bianca non vergellata. Esemplare appartenente alla I tiratura (1875), avanti lettera, senza titolo e numero. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Ampi margini oltre la battuta del rame. Bibliografia: Vives i Pique/Cuenca Garcia, Mariano Fortuny Marsal/Mariano Fortuny Madrazo, Electa, 1994, n.20, pag.113.
