Sigurd Lewerentz was born in Sweden in 1885. He first studied engineering at the Polytechnic in Gotherburg and then architecture at the Art Academy in Stockholm. After a period of apprenticeship in Germany he opened a studio with Thorsten Stubelius with whom he worked till 1917. Afterwards he continued his own practice often collaborating with other architects. During his long career he realized many different projects and distinguished himself in landscape architecture with works such as the extraordinary project for Stockholm Cemetery realized in collaboration with Gunnar Asplund. The first section of the volume includes a critical essay by Colin St John Wilson and a previously unpublished essay on the work of the Swedish master by Nicola Flora Paolo Giardiello and Gennaro Postiglione. The central section contains a catalogue of Lewerentz's works - about 150 designs and constructions in chronological order are presented through detailed descriptions and illustrations both photographs and drawings.

1898425944Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1898. Hardcover. Near Fine. 24mo. Measuring 5.5" x 6". Brown leather boards with beveled edges gilt decorations with the name "Flora Haedrich" embossed in gilt on the front board and lacking one metal clasp. Contains 43 ferrotype and ambrotype black and white photographs measuring between 0.5" x 0.5" and 3.5" x 2" with captions. Lightly bumped spine ends and corners with slight edgewear thus near fine album with fine photographs.<br /> <br /> Philadelphia woman Flora Haedrich's family album containing portraits of her immediate and external family members from 1865 with later pictures from 1898 and notes written in 1925. The photographs feature Flora's sisters brothers and parents and also include shots of her uncles aunts cousins and grandparents with captions including names and connections to her family written below. The photographs are professionally shot ferrotypes and ambrotypes developed by J. Fenton's photo miniature shop located on South Street in Philadelphia during the mid-19th Century. Several family members identified as business men and women are of interest. Haedrich's father Henry G. Haedrich Jr. started a company Haedrich and Sons Co. for leather working harness and saddlery for carriages in Philadelphia. According to a contemporary newspaper "Haedrich's establishment and the opinion prevailed universally has excelled by far any harness ever manufactured in this city. The whole style design finish and workmanship of this elegant set of harness are in the main original and if placed in fair competition with the finest productions of European manufacturers would undoubtedly secure the highest honors." Another member of the family Augustus Haedrich manufactured carriages and was president of the building association in Philadelphia. Lastly Emma Kirkham née Wootton is captioned as the cousin to Haedrich. Kirkham was a practicing Mormon who was active in the Young Ladies Retrenchment Association as second consular in Lehi Utah. On the last page of Haedrich's album she writes her new last name after marrying William John Bok. <br /> <br /> An aesthetically pleasing collection of professionally shot photographs of a Philadelphia family taken between 1865-1898. hardcover

Slightly cocked spine toning on the endpapers and slight wear on the board edges thus very good.<br /> <br /> According to the preface of the revised edition; "After training to be a doctor at the London School of Medicine for Women Flora Murray became an active member of the Women's Social and Political Union. At the outbreak of the First World War she and her fellow suffragists laid down their banners and sought to aid the Allied war effort. Working within the newly formed Women's Hospital Corps Murray and her colleague Louisa Garrett Anderson overcame initial prejudice and established two military hospitals in France in the period 1914 -1915. Their success prompted an invitation from the War Office to open the Endell Street Military Hospital in London staffed entirely by women. First published in 1920 Murray’s account illustrated with numerous photographs records important steps in furthering the acceptance of women in the medical profession. For female doctors surgeons and nurses the war provided not only the ‘occasion for service’ but also ‘get professional opportunities.’<br /> <br /> In Beatrice Harraden’s 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.â€<br /> <br /> A nice copy of an important women's medical text.

19000008092LAFAYETTE INDIANA. Good. 1900. On offer is an interesting small diary/memo book written between Oct 1st 1900 and Feb 19th by Flora G Schilling an Indiana student.

A notable entry in this little journal was: "Roosevelt came to the city. watching the Rough rider on Main Street." Oct 10 1900. This is a reference to the 1900 US Presidential election campaign where Theodore Roosevelt's was running as Vice-Presidential candidate. Most entries are of a chatty nature: "Frank and I went to dancing school Had a royal time" p10. "Preparing for examination in Astronomy." Dec 12 1900 "E. S. & I bidding V goodbye. Went downtown to to sample candy" pp15-16. "Sister M was in the room and had to study oh so hard I went to dance Monday night and had a swell time." Jan 7 1901.
