194128133Camp Tyson Tennessee; Camp David N. C.: various 1941. First Edition. Boards. Good. First Edition. 89 leaves 11-blank 1-63 pp plate 4 1-16 pp 6 pp 26 pp. Blue cloth spine over blue card covers soiling. Mimeographed typescripts. Dampstaining to upper corner throughout. Card covers creased. Previous owner stamp "Property of Nicholas A. Parisi" on front flyleaf. Irregular printing quality. Paper browned throughout. Illustrated. Boards. This sammelband contains five items with no proper title page or index. It is a fascinating variety of material that was used for training in the Barrage Balloon School Camp Tyson Tennessee for WWII. <br/><br/>The first item contains 87 leaves plus two indices detailing ground and air based targets likely to be seen by Balloon operators. This item is maddeningly bound out of order with the indices thrown in haphazardly. Part I contains 30 leaves of ground based targets with everything from a British Infantry Tank MK III "Valentine" to the Panzerfampfwagon III a German medium tank to scout cars howitzer and armored cars. Part II contains 57 leaves identifying various aircraft. The index for this part notes this is part of a "Target Recognition Instructors Course" and lists sixty aircraft. We have not taken the time to sort out if the indices are representative of the contents but spot checks conclude a likely correlation. Each leaf contains one or two pages of commentary on the target how to identify it it's characteristics and sometimes conversational assessments of its usefulness.<br/><br/>Item two in this sammelband is titled "Rigging and Fabric Repair Revised Edition" prepared by Clarence Vladimir Capt. C. A. C. Senior Instructor. Apparently created by the Division of Enlisted Specialists Barrage Balloon School Camp David N. C. 2 63 pages plus one plate it is densely written with illustrations throughout. Much on knot construction.<br/><br/>Item three is "Rigging and Fabric Repair Barrage Ballooon Training Center 1941" 2 16 pages plus one plate and six figures plus definitions. A presumably earlier version of Item two above with less space given over to illustrations.<br/><br/>Item four is "Synopsis of Charts Logs Maps Reports" 6 pages dated on page six 9-19-41 with some hand annotations/additions. Penciled is "D. E. Aldrich 1st Lt" on first page.<br/><br/>Item five is an extensive 24 page Gossary of Barrage Balloon Terms.<br/><br/>We were unable to find any of these items listed in OCLC/Worldcat as of this writing.

1750762Augusburg 1750. Original Drawing for Book Illustration. 160 x 197 mm. 6 ¼ X 7 ¾ inches. Drawn on blue paper laid down on 19th century paper. Black double fillet ink border. Shows some light wear but otherwise in very good condition. An attractive and well executed drawing in brown and white ink which illustrates the Book of Life surrounded by figures which probably illustrate the four seasons. This motif is crowned by a chorus of angels and saints also drawn in fine detail. Originally thought to be an Italian drawing the small-scale figures and the delicate pen strokes suggest the Augsburg School of the mid-18th century. Artists like Johann Wolfgang Baumgartner Joseph Christ and Godfried Göz all painters of  considerable skill and reputation who also worked closely with local publishers creating designs for prints and book illustrations. The choice of blue paper and the application of white ink to heighten the image is typical of Augsburg style of the 1750's. For further information see Thomas Kaufmann's monograph Central European Drawings 1680-1800. Princeton 1989 and an essay by Peter Stoll in OPUS "Empire of Prints. The Imperial City of Augsburg and the Printed Image in the 17th and 18th Centuries" 2016. Both works are well illustrated and show examples of the drawings and prints from Augsburg artists during the period. unknown books

1930WRCAM52672Paradise Valley Az 1930. 220 silver gelatin photographs most 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches to 3 1/4 x 5 3/4 inches with a handful of larger photographs and some smaller-format panoramas. Oblong folio. Original brad-bound album. Minor dust-soiling. Overall very good. An engaging collection of original photographs from Arizona circa 1930. The album would seem to depict the early days of the Judson School a well-known boarding school which opened in Paradise Valley Arizona in 1928. It was evidently assembled by one of the students. The first photograph shows the student body of nineteen young men in coat and tie; the second shows founder and head George Judson and the three men who evidently constituted the whole faculty at the time. Since one of the photographs contains a joking reference to Prohibition it would seem to date before 1933; at the same time there are enough buildings and structures to suggest the school had been going for several years hence our dating to circa 1930. <br> <br> The school prided itself on offering a vigorous outdoor life as well as regular schooling. The students are shown in various settings: tending to a camp surveying or on horseback in the desert a few shots depicting a snow-covered desert. The young men are also depicted at leisure: reading in chairs indoors and outdoors playing baseball and tennis wrestling and roping. Also present are a good number of photographs depicting the landscape around the area captured while the boys were exploring the areas around Paradise Valley and Phoenix with numerous shots of the men preparing food while out on the desert prairies. Five photographs depict a railroad derailment and a handful capture Spanish-style buildings or Native American structures in the area with one image of a Native American family inside a makeshift tent. There is also a group of photographs in an eastern setting presumably the student back home. <br> <br> The Judson School once in a rural desert setting was eventually surrounded by the explosive growth of Phoenix. The owner of the school which was always a private for- profit endeavor sold the land to luxury real estate developers and closed the school in 2000. <br> <br> A wonderful collection of photographs depicting a famous pioneering school in Arizona. unknown books
