188075319N.p.: N.p. 1880-1925. This impressive and important archive consists of over 1500 manuscript pages and more than 850 hand-drawn illustrations by Rossi-Diehl between the 1880s and 1925. Included are complete manuscripts drafts of manuscripts lesson plans and notes designs teachers’ aids and miscellaneous papers relating to art education especially what Rossi-Diehl called Form – Language along with geometric designs the art of Nature for instance the Acanthus leaf and other rather esoteric art-related subjects. Rossi-Diehl often quotes Goethe and other philosophers and cites biblical references as he attempts to explain his concept of art and its meaningfulness to mankind and his belief that Nature is art’s pure form. Also included in the collection are four writings by Rossi-Diehl regarding social issues war and politics and two interesting “letters†addressed to Samuel L. Clemens and the director of the Leopold Schepp Foundation both listed below under Miscellaneous. Contents;Conrad Rossi-Diehl 1842-1933 was born in Bavaria but came to the United States as a young boy with his parents in 1848 where the family settled in Philadelphia. His artistic talents were recognized early and resulted in his studying art in Germany and Paris where he concentrated on fresco painting and elements of design. Returning to the United States around 1868 Rossi-Diehl taught at the Chicago Academy of Design and later at the St. Louis Art School. From 1879 to 1885 he taught art at the Missouri State University. He relocated to New York in 1886 where he taught at the Hebrew Technical Institute and perfected his course in freehand work. He and John Ward Stimson established the Artist Artisan Institute New-York Institute for Artist-Artisans where Rossi-Diehl directed the drawing and design classes and taught craft as an artform. He was a strong believer in the notion that manufactured products should contain an artistic nature. He prepared drafts for numerous books manuals and articles on design ornament and anatomy for artists and how to teach art. However no copies of his published work were located. Perhaps they were intended to be used at the various institutions where he taught. He also found time to obtain two patents on devices for teaching drawing. His own artwork seemed to be focused on allegorical and literary subjects such as scenes from Shakespeare. See the on-line article on Rossi-Diehl by the Graphic Arts Collection of Princeton and a biography under his name on WorthPoint.The illustrations included in the collection were drawn or cut-out for illustrating Rossi-Diehl’s various drafts of art education texts. They consist primarily of designs floral and geometric diagrams and charts. Several sketches are also included.Incidentally the only records for Conrad Rossi-Deihl to be found on OCLC are 18 original works of art. Sadly this means that all of his real contributions to art and art history and education were lost to history until this archive reared its interesting head. Perhaps there are publishable manuscripts among all of the many to be found in this archive but at the very least this archive would provide students a much clearer picture of art education and thought in the 19th century. The following is a brief listing of the various manuscripts in the Rossi-Diehl collection being offered here.ART & ART EDUCATIONAdvisement Obsolete Dic.

There is a short tear to the tail of the spine and the corners of the covers are creased. 6 unnumbered pages followed by a blank leaf. There are a couple of light spots to the front margin of the first leaf. A clean & bright pamphlet.</p><p>RARE First only edition.</p><p>When King Ferdinand VII of Spain returned to power in 1814 he repealed the liberal constitution of 1812 the Constitution of Cadiz. In 1820 soldiers preparing for an expedition to reclaim Spanish colonies in South America pledged loyalty to the 1812 Constitution and led by Rafael del Riego revolted against the King's absolute rule. On March 9 1820 Ferdinand accepted the constitution and gave power to the liberal ministers. The 3-year period that followed is known as the "Trienio Liberal". This period of liberal rule in Spain was marked by instability and a faltering Spanish economy. In January of 1823 a secret treaty was signed at the Congress of Verona by the United Kingdom France Russia Prussia and Austria. The treaty gave authority to France to invade Spain and restore Ferdinand VII as the absolute monarch. The King of France Louis XVIII put the Duke of Angouleme in charge of the Army of the Pyrenees also known as the "Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis". It was his mission to overthrow the Constitutional government of Spain and restore Ferdinand VII to his full powers as was agreed to at the Congress of Verona. Angouleme and his army entered the capital of Spain on May 23 1823. There he formed a royalist regency presided over by Carlos Maria Isidro de Borbon the Infante of Spain. The pamphlet at hand is an exposition addressed to the Duke of Angouleme by the Grandee of Spain represented by 36 members of the Spanish nobility who have signed at the end. It is worthy of note that the Grandee's statement is dated May 27 the day after the regency was installed. The statement praises Angouleme and calls for him to quickly unite the King with the nations of Europe. "Ahora la oportunidad de desahogar nuestros pechos oprimidos y de reunir nuestros deseos y nuestras fuerzas para lograr la suspirada restauracion era el dia venturoso en que un hijo por el amor y heredero por la sangre del poderoso rey cristianisimo de Francia ha aparecido en esta capital misma rodeado de tantos miles de valientes anunciando el grandioso designio de poner en libertad a nuestro Rey y de hacer que reine de nuevo entre nosotros el orden la paz y la justicia.Acabad senor pronta y felizmente el desempeno de vuestro noble encargo; juntad la libertad de un Rey de vuestra sangre a las justas esperanzas de una nacion amiga de la Francia; que de los esfuerzos reunidos de estos dos pueblos generosos resulte el bien Comun y un nuevo y duradero lazo de amistad y de alianza; que ahuyentadas las mezquinas y funestas pasiones para hacer lugar a la benefica concordia formada una sola familia con un solo espiritu en rededor del regio trono; puestos enfin los Espanoles en honrosa y sabia armonia con las naciones cultas de la Europa tan lejos de las intrigas de la arbitrariedad precursora siempre de desastres como de la inquieta y destructora anarquia podamos un dia mas dichoso y puedan nuestros hijos decir con inefable y permanente jubilo."</p> Madrid: Imprenta de D.

191912733Salem Or. 1919. 90pp. Oblong octavo. Original illustrated tan wrappers printed in darker tan. Moderate edge wear and minor toning to wrappers. Occasional minor foxing or thumb-soiling to text. Overall very good condition. A very rare promotional pamphlet illustrating the opportunities awaiting Native American youth at the Salem Indian Training School in Chemawa Oregon. The wrapper title is Salem U.S. Vocational School Chemawa Oregon. The Salem Indian Training School opened in early 1880 as one of the first Native American boarding schools in the country of course intended to be an instrument of assimilation for local indigenous peoples. Opened as an elementary school Salem was a fully-accredited high school by 1927. The school is still open and has been for some time known as the Chemawa Indian School named for the Chemawa band of the Kalapuya people of the Willamette Valley; its own website describes the school as "the oldest continuously operated boarding school for Native American students in the United States."<br /> <br /> The present work includes a title leaf and four pages of explanatory text about the school with the remainder of the contents comprised of full-page photographs illustrating a wide variety of subjects at the institution. The work opens with photographic portraits of four white government officials including the superintendent of the Salem school Harwood Hall. This is followed by the explanatory text describing the general area around Chemawa as well as various aspects of the school such as its academics boys and girls "industries" farm social life newspaper The Chemawa American and more. The most striking photograph is a folding "Panoramic View of Chemawa Indian School" which is present here in its entirety measuring 5.5 x 21.5 inches. Other photographs picture various landmarks around Oregon but mostly center on the school's campus and activities. These include photos of campus buildings and spaces dormitories hospital auditorium academic building girls' industrial building greenhouse prune orchard the "piggery" classrooms and other interiors sewing blacksmith shop gymnasium dormitory rooms and parlors dressmaking carpentry shop bakery "fruit room" boiler room tailor shop science lab clubs and sports teams boys' and girls' basketball boys' football track baseball Sigma Phi Delta Society and three other literary societies Mandolin and Guitar Club Boys Battalion Excelsior Literary Society group photographs of the 1918 and 1919 graduating class the latter showing twenty students holding a pennant reading "Excellence Means Labor" and more. A small card is affixed to the title leaf stating that "This booklet was printed entirely within our own shop" so very likely by Native American students whose print shop is also illustrated within. The work is very similar to another publication for the Sherman Institute in California produced around the same time.<br /> <br /> OCLC records just two copies both in Oregon at the State Library and the University of Oregon. unknown

During the last half of the nineteenth century and for about thirty years of the present century our Republic was generally governed by individuals of the character and blood of those stalwart leaders who conceived and organized it. Judge Armstrong belonged to that courageous lineage. He studied thoroughly the plans of those who would destroy our Nation took an active part in exposing their treason and assisted patriots who battled to save us. He wrote extensively to expose administrations infiltrated by governmental appointees planning our destruction. So powerful were these individuals that they exercised great control over the national press and by skillful propaganda had poisoned the minds of our citizenry. To attack them took character and courage all of which Judge Armstrong possessed in abundance." - George Van Horn Moseley Major General U.S. Army Ret'd.
