193063985Chicago IL & Davenport IA: Lutheran Mission Churches; North Illinois District Victor Animatograph Co. ca. 1930-1934. Two vols. 4to. 13; 13 leaves unnumbered. of 4-pocket archival mylar sleeves housing 97 glass plate lantern slides sized 4 x 3.25 in. all in gray cardstock embossed frame mounts of the Victor Animatograph Co. of Davenport IA nearly all numbered in white ink MS 1 2-48; 49-56 60-97 2 100 glass slides nearly all w/ red dots keyed to lantern slide maps included at the end 34 hand-coloured 63 black & white a few w/ very minor hairline cracks in the glass not affecting the image or integrity minor dustsoiling edgewear to mounts together with 4 leaves typescript detailing all of the slides to be used in the presentation inserted together into first mylar sleeves first two leaves w/ extensive MS notes & revisions in ink & pencil. All preserved in recent blue cloth 3-ring binders still a VG archive. This glass slide photo archive visually captures the expansion of the Lutheran Mission Churches largely within the Missouri Synod which underwent rapid Americanization and expansion during the 1920’s and early 1930’s in Chicago the nearby suburbs and across Northern Illinois. With a focus on establishing Sunday Schools shifting liturgy from German to English language and appealing to immigrant communities for growth these glass plate lantern slides appear to have been designed as a presentation for growing Lutheran Mission Churches as they spread through up-and-coming suburban neighborhoods in and around Chicago mostly within a 50 mile-or-so boundary line to downtown Chicago. Stately churches church interiors Sunday School interiors students pastors as well as church buses and surrounding areas are also depicted within the slides. Heavily influenced by Dwight L. Moody’s targeted Sunday School movement upon the inner city working poor during the 19th-Century the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Churches as depicted in the two maps inside the collection -- with one hand-coloured with red dots corresponding to the slides -- there was a decided interest to attract those migrating into the Chicago area including Japanese-Americans as depicted in slide No. 2 standing next to the sign for “Our Saviour’s Evangelical Lutheran Church†in Addison Heights Chicago.Identified churches and Sunday schools include those for Addison Heights Messiah School Archer Heights Congregation in Chicago Barrington congregation & church building Broadview & Maywood along Roosevelt about 12 miles west of downtown Chicago & Lake Michigan the Elizabeth parsonage which was the furthest West church in the North Illinois District nearly on the Iowa State line. Others include parishes in Elmwood Park Gage Park Irvingwood East Joliet Midlothian Naperville East Rockford Dixon Milford Geneva and the St. Charles Borromeo Church originally at the NW corner of 12th now Roosevelt and Cypress now Hoyne Ave. in the West Side neighborhood. Still more include Pastor Kroeger’s Winslow church; Pastor Kuehnert’s Cary Church Pastor Burgdorf’s Bethany Church along with two lantern slides of Pastor Brauer’s parish -- the Illinois State Women’s Prison and the State Penitentiary at Joliet. Surviving multimedia presentation archives such as this one are quite scarce and seldom feature the enhanced detail offered by the typescript list with this archive.

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
