19055000696Sydney 1905. In exemplary original condition. 9 carat gold matchbox 15 gr; 45 x 30 mm; monogrammed on the back with interwoven letters "M.A.C." <p><p>A remarkable memento of the pioneer Jewish educator Maurice Moses Abraham Cohen 1851-1923. Objects from the Australian Jewish community at the start of the 20th century prior to the great waves of Jewish immigration are very scarce. The monogrammed initials on this attractive presentation piece identify it as a gift from the Sydney Jewish Sabbath School to M.A. Cohen the School's first principal.</p> <p>Born in Ukraine to a Sephardic family Cohen was a talented linguist. Educated in England after spells in India and Afghanistan he travelled to Australia in 1887 where he took up a role as the first headmaster of the Jewish Sunday School just then established in Sydney within the Great Synagogue Australia's finest synagogue. He went on to become head of the NSW Jewish Board of Education. At one time he was editor of Sydney's first Jewish weekly newspaper the Australian Jewish Weekly as well as a lecturer on Hebrew at a number of theological colleges in Australia. </p> <p>Cohen was one of the first European Australians to call attention to the plight of the Australian Aboriginal peoples and to argue for compensation and land rights even risking his position as editor of the Australian Hebrew Newspaper with his fiery opinion pieces on the subject. He also argued for increased non-discriminatory immigration drawing from all cultures and vehemently opposed the White Australia Policy.

1930232561930. Stanford University Military Engineering Archive Documenting the First Army Ordnance Reserve Gauging Program ca. 1930. Stanford University photo archive documenting the emergence of interwar military-industrial technical education ordnance gauging instruction and precision engineering research on campus during the early development of Stanford's engineering and applied science programs. Rather than depicting science classrooms in a general sense these photographs specifically document the technical culture surrounding Army ordnance training instrumentation systems machine calibration and laboratory-based engineering instruction that linked universities to the expanding infrastructure of American military preparedness between World War I and World War II. Taken together the archive captures Stanford at the moment when higher education increasingly merged scientific research industrial precision manufacturing and military technical training into a unified research model that later shaped the wartime and Cold War defense university system.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 11 large silver gelatin photographs each approximately 8" x 10" Stanford University California dating from 1930 into the 1950s; two later views mounted to decorative yellow board. Several photographs depict laboratory interiors filled with precision instrumentation gauging apparatus optical and mechanical measuring devices machine-tool equipment calibration benches microscopes drafting stations and technical worktables arranged for instruction and inspection work. One especially important close-up photograph shows a large precision gauging or rotational calibration apparatus associated with ordnance measurement and machine tolerance testing. Surrounding the device are machined cylindrical components threaded fittings gauge rings and polished metal parts likely used in dimensional inspection bore alignment concentricity testing or interchangeable manufacturing instruction. Another darkened workshop view depicts what appears to be a heavy precision lathe or gauging bench fitted with a mounted cylindrical test component equipment consistent with ordnance inspection and military engineering instruction during the interwar period. Additional photographs show groups of students and instructors posed around technical apparatus inside instrumentation laboratories while later mounted photographs document more formalized postwar engineering office and drafting environments associated with large-scale technical administration and research organization.<br /> <br /> Most important is a detailed handwritten verso inscription reading: "Equipment used Feb 1930 Ordnance School at Stanford University. This was first time a course in gauging was given in any Army Ordnance Reserve Unit permanent facilities excepted. Instructor; Lieut Merrill S. Hingo. Photo; Lieut Howard Story Taylor." The inscription firmly identifies the archive as documentation of early Army ordnance reserve technical instruction conducted at Stanford and specifically ties the machinery to military gauging education. In the 1920s-30s "gauging" referred not merely to ordinary measurement but to the specialized science of precision dimensional inspection used in artillery manufacture weapons-part standardization shell tolerances bore measurement interchangeable machining systems and industrial calibration. Such instruction formed a critical component of modern military-industrial production where even minor deviations in machining tolerances could affect artillery accuracy chamber pressure shell seating or mechanical reliability.<br /> <br /> Several outdoor group portraits further reinforce the military context. One large group stands beneath a doorway marked "Military Science and Tactics" while another includes Colonel Donald C. Cubbison a career U.S. Army officer and West Point graduate who served as professor of military science and tactics at Stanford from 1930 to 1935 before later attaining the rank of major general during World War II. His appearance situates the archive directly within Stanford's interwar military training system and links the photographs to broader national efforts to train technically educated reserve officers in engineering ordnance artillery science and industrial preparedness.<br /> <br /> The archive also reflects Stanford's broader transformation into a modern research university centered on applied science and engineering. During the interwar years Stanford's scientific departments expanded laboratory instruction instrumentation programs and research-based technical education under faculty including Robert E. Swain John P. Mitchell William H. Sloan and George S. Parks. Parks in particular became associated with analytical chemistry and geochemical laboratory science disciplines heavily dependent upon precision instrumentation and calibrated measurement systems. The engineering and laboratory culture documented here overlaps with contemporary developments in industrial metrology applied physics materials testing optical measurement and machine-tool inspection that increasingly tied university research to industrial production and military logistics.<br /> <br /> What makes the archive especially significant is the way it documents the transitional infrastructure between traditional university instruction and the emerging defense-oriented research university model. These photographs preserve not simply classrooms but the physical systems of technical education itself: calibration benches inspection machinery gauging apparatus optical instruments drafting rooms and laboratory spaces where students and reserve officers were trained in the precision engineering practices underlying twentieth-century industrial warfare and mass manufacturing. In doing so the archive visually traces the early foundations of the university-based defense engineering culture that would later expand dramatically during World War II and the Cold War throughout California research institutions and the broader military-industrial complex.<br /> <br /> Photographs are sharp and highly detailed with clear views of equipment and interiors; handwritten identifications remain legible. The two mounted 1950s photographs have several large tears without image loss with lighter handling wear elsewhere. Overall good condition. unknown

Along with her husband John whom she met while she was a student at Cornell University she formed the Comstock Publishing Company. Its motto: "Nature through Books." In 1911 the company published Anna's 900-page Handbook of Nature Study. The now-famous sourcebook for teachers went through 24 editions and was translated into eight languages. In her book Comstock emphasized the rewards of direct observation. She was ahead of her time in stressing the importance of natural relationships that work to form what we now call an ecosystem. The point of her approach to nature study she said was to "cultivate the child's imagination love of the beautiful and sense of companionship with life out-of-doors." Comstock was instrumental in launching a pilot nature study program - the first of its kind in the country - in the schools of Westchester County New York. In time the program grew into a nationwide teacher-education program administered by Cornell University and other colleges. By encouraging instructors to take their students outside to learn and then helping them see the relationship between people and the natural world Anna Botsford Comstock left her mark on countless generations. - National Wildlife Federation. -- with a bonus offer-- .

The works reflect a crucial century in the history of French art when lavish court patronage and the presence of innovative Italian masters precipitated revolutionary changes not only in the style and subject matter of French art but in that of European art as a whole. So much has been lost from this period that its artistic achievement is little known outside France; thus this richly illustrated catalogue makes possible an opportunity to explore and better appreciate this period of French history and the role of drawings within it. -- with a bonus offer-- .
