189110008Seneca Falls NY 1891. No Binding. Near Fine. 3-inch diameter globe anchored in magnifying glass as issued; 5 ½ inches total height. Color-printed wax-engraved gores; some fading of place names a few repair in extreme southern portion but overall remarkably little wear; overall excellent condition. An unrecorded delightful cartographic curiosity: a very good quality miniature globe with a magnifying paperweight as its base. Only two other globes by the American Globe and Supply Company are known: a six-inch terrestrial recorded by Rumsey dated 1892 and an eight-inch terrestrial cited in Rittenhouse dated 1891; see below. This Seneca Falls New York company was one of several for which Rand McNally supplied gores for the globes it produced. Rand McNally did not issue its first globe until 1887. Very nice condition for an object of this kind. Cf. Rumsey 5120; Rittenhouse Vol. 2 No. 1 p. 23. unknown books

19525333Anchorage: Alaska Crippled Children's Association 1952. Duodecimo-size stapled booklet 13.25 x 10.5 cm. ii 1-36 ii pages. Illustrated. Table of contents. Title from cover. Publisher from page i and date of publication from page ii. ~ Second printing. Now with changes in pagination; the "Consent to Print" is on the verso of the title page and the rear contains an order form and advertisements for additional items for sale. The artwork also drawn by "R. Seetomona" depicts the same image of a young woman sitting near a stove but the stylized lettering with title letters formed from images of fish or seal drying on a line is clearer and a bit more complex the young woman's haircut is longer and parted in the middle and the pot on the stove has five heat lines instead of six. All other issues of this work we have examined have had this artwork and have been printed in black on colored wrappers. And all other issues contain an order form in various configurations as well as lists of other items for sale. ~ Eighty attributed recipes gathered from Inupiaq students participating in a school project and electing "to share the profits with the Alaska Crippled Children's Association" page ii. In some cases latitude is required to explain the lack of detail in recipes contributed by children for example: "Owl. Take feathers off from owl. Clean owl and put in cooking pot. Have lots of water in pot. Add salt to taste." But in other cases details are generously given as in the caution provided for Willow Meats with seal oil: "Never eat green stuff on willows" and in another when preparing mouseleaves Pick'Nick: "Maybe the white men don't like them." Other delicacies: Mazue Root Eskimo potato Eskimo Ice cream with reindeer tallow Baked Seal Liver Walrus Stew Oogruk i.e. bearded seal Intestine Soup and Seal Flippers. A cooperative venture between the public Day School in Shishmaref in the far north-on Sarichef Island north of the Bering Strait-and the Alaska Crippled Children's Association founded by a women's organization in Anchorage to fund orthopedic care for some twelve hundred children in Alaska then in dire need. Isabelle B. Bingham b. 1900 and her husband Herbert C. Bingham 1893-1965 were Alaska Native Service schoolteachers who taught in Shishmaref between 1948 and 1956. In 2002 fearing that life would no longer be possible on Sarichef owing to the effects of global climate change the inhabitants of Shishmaref voted in referendum to relocate. But moving a village of five hundred has proved daunting and most residents as well as the school remain on the island as of this writing.

OCLC locates numerous copies some miscredited to the teacher who penned the introductory note; a presumed second edition 1960 and third 1972 are documented; Brown 11 undated; not in Cagle.
