1930165058No place of publication.: 教育資料出版社.Kyoiku Shiryo Shuppansha. circa1930. Four very striking Japanese education posters in colour the posters showing either a Japanese male or a female student in their black school uniform demonstrating the correct position for sitting or standing. <br> <br>Two creases 15cm and 6.8cm in length respectively from left margin on the poster of the seated boy two repaired closed tears from lower margin 16cm and 3cm on poster showing the seated girl a small area of insect damage upper corner one poster and some general light wear but overall still very good copies of a scarce set of posters. Text in Japanese. Sheet measures 77.8 x 53.4cm These four posters are designed to hang on the wall in the classrooms to teach students how sit and stand properly. The male student is dressed in Japanese school uniform with black jacket with brass buttons and a pair of shorts with knee-high stockings. The female student is dressed in black jacket with sailor-style collar and a skirt. These uniform styles particularly the sailor-suit style for girls started being in general use in Japanese schools in the 1930s suggesting that the posters date from this decade. Correct posture was considered a crucial element in school physical education as it was considered important both for physical health and for conveying proper respect to teachers and others. The posters show the children standing with hands pressed straight against their sides in the position which is also used when bowing to superiors. . 教育資料出版社.[Kyoiku Shiryo Shuppansha]. unknown

19395722N.p. likely Washington D.C. 1939. About good. 476pp. of mimeographed text plus one leaf of sheet music. Original red printed wrappers brad bound. Substantial edge wear reinforced with cello tape repaired tear and large area of loss to rear wrapper some dust-soiling to covers. Ink ownership inscription on front blank belonging to Ruth W. Lee otherwise internally clean. A delightfully homespun pamphlet containing the revised edition of the various rituals of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority one of the "Divine Nine" sororities of the HBCU community founded at Howard University in 1913 and still active today. According to the organization’s own website Delta Sigma Theta is "committed to sisterhood scholarship service and addressing the social issues of the time.and has become one of the preeminent service-based sororities with more than 350000 initiated members and over 1050 chartered chapters worldwide." The present work was issued by the Ritual Revision Committee whose names are listed here along with a note from the committee chairman Edna B. Johnson-Morris and a Preface from the committee which includes notes of gratitude to various members including honorary member Mary McLeod Bethune thanking her for "The Beacon Light." The body of the work contains chapters on conducting both grand chapter sessions and regular meetings the initiation ceremony the establishment of new chapters conferring honorary status the process of reinstatement the pledge ceremony the funeral ceremony the observance of memorials dedication exercises the order of business for chapter meetings and closing ceremonies for both types of meetings. Much of the work is literally comprised of the scripts for these various processes and ceremonies. These chapters are followed by the text of the DST "National Hymn" sheet music for "How We Love Thy Name" and the text for the sorority's prayer oath and the "Sorority Charge."<br /> <br /> "As a sisterhood comprised primarily of Black college-educated women the Sorority seriously considers the issues impacting the Black community and boldly confronts the challenges of African Americans and hence all Americans. Over the years a wide range of programs addressing education health international development and the strengthening of African American families have evolved. The major programs of the Sorority are based upon the Five-Point Programmatic Thrust: economic development educational development international awareness and involvement physical and mental health and political awareness and involvement" - Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. website. Printed works issued by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority are exceedingly rare. OCLC reports just a few items of any type printed before 1970 along with just a few institutional collections relating to various chapters of the sorority containing material before 1950. The present work is not separately listed in OCLC and very likely not present in the chapter collections. unknown
1609046398Paris: Matreo il Maestro 1609. Later Edition. Hardcover Vellum. Very Good Condition. 3 volumes in contemporary limp vellum remains of ties some discoloration to vellum occasional creasing to a few early leaves end papers rumpled and a little torn the third book is lacking the final two pages of the table ends at M generally fine otherwise. 6 books bound in 3. 6 283; 10 325; 8 362; 8 296; 8 338 6; 8 301 leaves.<br/><br/>One of the most singular figures in the Renaissance Aretino was a poet playwright schemer satirist and pornographer who made a career out of infiltrating the highest levels of society and then alternately satirizing them in his writings or blackmailing them. For a time his patron was Cardinal Giulio de' Medici and he mocked Popes and would be popes but in time he settled in Venice - the Anti-Rome. Ariosto called him "the scourge of Princes". He is remembered most for his satires and his letters which detail conversations with both the great names of the day as well as regular folk both women and men. His ability to manipulate the reader of his letters - which were carefully chosen and probably always meant for publication - by constructing a compelling narrative with himself as central protagonist - changed epistolary collections forever.

1968164806London: Trigram Press and Writers Forum 1968. Anti-establishment education for the masses A complete set of the catalogues issued by the Antiuniversity of London including all three colour variants of the first quarter's catalogue. For just £8 per term a fee later abolished entirely students could access an array of unconventional courses at 49 Rivington Street in Shoreditch London. The catalogues chart the expansion of this short-lived and radical experiment in anti-establishment education. The Antiuniversity was officially founded in February 1968 by a group including veterans of the Free University of New York Allen Krebs and Joe Berke the feminist psychoanalyst Juliet Mitchell the cultural theorist Stuart Hall and the anti-psychiatrists R. D. Laing and David Cooper. The catalogue for the first quarter introduces a permanent faculty and in lieu of a defined curriculum brief blurbs introduce each teacher. Cooper and Laing along with Jerome Liss and Leon Redler offered courses related to sociology and psychology; poets and sculptors such as Harold Norse John Latham and Barry Miles hosted workshops and talks; composer Cornelius Cardew offered a course in experimental music and Michael Kustow the director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts ran a "fortnightly talk-out" about the questions involved in running "a place that has the freedom of an underground research and fun-lab and yet radiates influence out into the system by virtue of its very position". The illustrious list of visiting faculty includes William Burroughs Richard Hamilton Allen Ginsberg and Carolee Schneemann. Slight differences in the faculty list occur in the pale brown variant of the first quarter catalogue which was published a little later. Notable additions include Robin Blackburn and Nicholas Krasso Noel Cobb and Axel Jensen David Caute Obi Egbuna Francis Huxley and Alex Trocchi. Around 300 students were enrolled when the second quarter catalogue was issued in April 1968 by which time the project had caught the attention of some of the biggest underground names in psychiatry art and politics. The "artist's artist" Gustav Metzger taught "Theory of Auto-destructive Art" C. R. L. James lectured on "Imperialism Leninism and the underdeveloped countries" Satish Kumar invited students to learn about Gandhi and the Gandhian movement and Yoko Ono offered a weekly Friday evening course called "The Connection" "an attempt to connect people to their own reality by means of 'brain sessions' and ritual". The catalogue for the third quarter adds among others the filmmaker Steve Dwoskin the Israeli journalist Shimon Tzabar and the American sculptor John Chamberlain. Loosely inserted is a flyer invitation which announces an Antiuniversity Course Creation Rally on 21 July which marked the beginning of the disintegration of the project; mounting bills forced the Antiuniversity out of Rivington Street by August 1968 though the dispersed community continued to host lectures across London as late as 1971. Together 5 items. Original wire-stitched wrappers in brown red purple yellow and blue printed in black. With 3 flyers loosely inserted: a registration form and printed list of supplementary courses Second Quarter and a flyer for a "Kip In" 12-14 July 1968 Third Quarter. Trivial splash mark to front wrapper of brown issue minor toning to edges nick to head of rear wrapper: a fine set. unknown
19033158London and Manchester: John Haywood 1903. First edition. Near Fine. Original pictorial boards with cloth to spine. 76 pages. Faint toning to edges of covers but surprisingly clean overall. Early ownership signature of "Sarah Askworth.1906" to the verso of the front cover and overlaid with tape. Lightly toned throughout but otherwise unmarked without the signs of kitchen use common in such books. Scarce in trade OCLC reports no copies of the present work at institutions. <br /> <br /> "Around the year 1900 there was a concern about the physical state of the people of Britain. Even though there had been tremendous efforts in the late 19th century to provide better public health housing and education many children were still no more healthy than they had been back in the 1840s. The new Liberal government elected in 1906 passed various measures to try to deal with this problem.and they gave permission for schools to offer meals to their pupils" National Archives. Efforts to consider the link between education and nutrition had begun in the lead-up to the laws however; and the present work is a scarce surviving example of such a cookery. Its compilers note in the preface "This collection of Recipes has been prepared specially for Day and Evening Schools. The instructions of the Education Department.have been embodied." Given the book's brevity it contains a multitude of basic nutritious and locally accessible foods that can be combined for a variety of different meals -- always with an eye to giving growing students the fuel they need to grow and thrive in their schooldays. There is even included a selection of recipes designed for the sickroom when students are ill and need extra care for their health. A research-rich compendium. Near Fine. John Haywood unknown

1851545j0915Philadelphia: Daniels & Smith. Good. 1851. Third American Edition. Hardcover. "John Wilson 1799 - 1870 was a self educated man. In 1840 he published the first edition of this book in which he claimed the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel made their way from the Near East across the continent of Europe to the British Isles. He believed the Northern European people to be descended from the Ten Lost Tribes with the people of Britain being the Tribe of Ephraim. He relied upon philological 'evidence' of English Scottish and Irish words that were similar to Hebrew words." - Wikipedia. "If the view maintained in Mr. Wilson's Lectures be true it is a subject of deep interest to us all; for in that case the inhabitants of the United States are a part of the 'Lost Tribes of Israel' and the literal posterity of Jacob; and particularly are the Anglo-Saxons of the posterity of Ephraim the youngest son of Joseph." - Preface. iv 237 pp. Index.

12844Various locations in Cuba and Pennsylvania: contents ca 1973. 25 leaves totaling 40pp. illustrated with thirty black-and-white and sepia-toned photographs with detailed manuscript captions plus seven large clippings from school publications and six additional ephemeral items. Oblong folio. Black cloth with alligator-patterned cloth on front board with manuscript title below a drawn representation of a small pennant for Lehigh University. Covers worn frayed and chipped alligator-style cloth curling a bit along fore edge. A few items loose from adhesive and a few with small tears scattered spotting and soiling. Overall very good condition with fascinating materiality. A lovingly-compiled photograph album and memorial book created by a young woman named Magdalena Sofia Guitart in tribute to her godfather Rafael Genó a Cuban engineer who studied at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. Juan Rafael Genó Rizo was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1883. A doctoral thesis on Cuban architecture found online deems him one of the premiere Art Deco architects of Santiago and the only one to obtain a degree abroad. Genó graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from Lehigh in 1909 and from the University of Havana in 1913. He died in Miami Florida in 1973.<br /> <br /> This doting scrapbook was compiled and heavily captioned in Spanish which we hereafter present in translation as a "Memorial which with love and pride I dedicate to my godfather and some of his works; a pale reflection of all the good he has done in his life" by Magdalena Sofia Guitart who was born in 1936 in Santiago and arrived in Miami in 1958. She includes photos of Genó as a baby and a boy of 11 "From a very young age as you can see here my godfather was a little gentleman" as well as in uniform alongside Mexican and Costa Rican comrades at Pennsylvania's Wayne Field. She lauds his "triumphs" and "genius" in "thousands of battles." Genó likely came to the United States following the Spanish-American War during the growth of Cuban immigration resulting from increased American attention of the island country. All of the content in the album is artfully presented within decorative rules or floral borders providing an unusual flair to the presentation. The book displays not only the hand-drawn Lehigh pennant on the cover but also large artistic renditions of the campus and an internal shot of its library clipped from school publications and comparing views from 1873 1909 and 1933 the relevance of Lehigh at the later date is unclear.<br /> <br /> Additional photographs and decorative designs share the story as "our engineer" returns to Cuba and "begins to demonstrate his knowledge" in the mines of Ponupo. Soon "his hard work integrity and honesty led him to be chosen" for other feats of engineering including "la Iglesia church Los Desamparados constructed by my godfather 1932" and a train terminal in Guantánamo. Images and a photographic clipping laud his renovations of "Colegio La Salle" in 1937. There are also six photos and a clipping showing Genó's work on the altar for the Eucharistic Congress held in Santiago in 1936 during which the original statue of Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre Patroness of Cuba was granted a canonical coronation by Pope Pius XI. The album also holds a clipping naming Genó as president of the Board of Directors of Santiago's Urban Property Center an inauguration ribbon and brochure for the Municipal Food Market in 1950 with which he was also involved and photos of the celebrated engineer later in life.<br /> <br /> A captivating and carefully-assembled homage created by a Cuban immigrant to the United States honoring a loved one who was educated in Pennsylvania and then returned to his home country to serve as a noted engineer during the first half of the 20th century. contents ca unknown
88664N.p. n.d. ca 1880s-1900. Cloth-bound leporello binding gilt-ruled gilt-titled "FOLDING." on front cover 8-3/4" "x 8". Opens to reveal 42 panels 21 on each side of the accordion fold of which 26 are used containing a total of approximately two hundred folded examples laid-down but otherwise fully openable by unfolding; each unique some arranged into complex compositions on the page. Occasional mild foxing but Near Fine overall with three or four pieces possibly lacking from the final pages. The album is presumably American based on its source a regional American auction house purchased 2025 though conceivably British in origin.<br /> <br /> A beautifully-preserved "papierfalten" album of the late nineteenth or early twentieth century likely the work of either an advanced elementary-school student or a kindergarten teacher in training. Paper-folding was first introduced in American schools in the 1890s an adaptation of Friedrich Fröbel's kindergarten curriculum developed to train children in both manual skills and geometrical and mathematical concepts. The apotheosis of Fröbel's papierfalten technique was the so-called "Froebel Star" a complex three-dimensional composition based on the traditional German folk-art "Moravian Star." Numerous examples of the technique are collected here along with many more basic folds and several wonderful full-page compositions comprised of multiple folded sheets arranged to resemble snowflakes and other objects. We've encountered other examples of the papierfalten genre usually in single sheets with a few examples; none nearly as comprehensive or complex as this one and certainly none as beautifully preserved. A unique and beautiful documentation both of American folk art and educational technique. unknown
