18306526London 1830. Aquatints coloured by hand. A fine complete series of four anonymous prints of hunting scenes possibly after the Alkens.<br/> <br/>The style and naming of these prints suggests an Alken origin for the series. Siltzer records a number of series by the Alken family in which the first plate is titled "Unkennelling." This title appears to be unique to them and supports the supposition that the present series are after the Alkens. Henry Thomas Alken was born into what became an artistic dynasty. He studied under the miniature painter J. T. Barber and exhibited his first picture a miniature portrait at the Royal Academy when he was sixteen. From about 1816 onwards he "produced an unending stream of paintings drawings and engravings of every type of field and other sporting activity. He is best remembered for his hunting prints many of which he engraved himself until the late 1830s.To many sporting art is "Alken" and to describe his work or ability is quite unnecessary."

196717647New York: Free School of New York Fall 1967. First Edition. Wraps. Very good. 5.5" x 8.5" approx. saddle-stapled booklet. Touches of toning and wear at corners. Mailing information at rear wrap. Interior clean and bright. Very good. 12pp. <br/><br/>Catalog for the fall 1967 term at the Free School of New York also known as the Free University of New York. Established in 1965 as a reaction to traditional academia FUNY was in the tradition of 1960s protest movements run by committee with open enrollment and granting no degrees. This catalog which lists the school's 24 class offerings demonstrates a focus on the humanities with courses in filmmaking history fine arts and drama. Class offerings were predictably left-leaning with titles like "A Quest for Self" "The Thought of Mao Tse-Tung" and "Black Power and the "Ghetto Uprisings" and the faculty included counterculture figures such as Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg. An ambitious and ephemeral offshoot of the 1960s counterculture movement FUNY closed after only a few years in operation. Free School of New York paperback books
18382596Alnwick: M. Smith 1838. First edition. Fine. 3 page pamphet measuring 152 x 228mm. Trifolded with ownership signature of Wm. Dickson Esq to rear blank. Else an exceptionally clean and seemingly untouched copy of this rare pamphlet advocating for improvements in the early education of children. The only copy known on the market this title does not appear in the modern auction record or at any institutions according to OCLC.<br/><br/>A proposal and prospectus for an Infant School to serve the town of Alnwick and improve the overall level of education within the community. The pamphlet clarifies that the Duke of Northumberland is confirmed as the school's patron; and it outlines how donations and subsciptions from the town will add to the school's endowment. But more importantly it focuses on the communal benefits that will come from citizens' support for children's education regardless of their class. Touting the successes of other Infant Schools in England and abroad in providing "well-regulated nurseries for the children of the poorer classes" the committee also explains that " the most approved system of training will develop the physical powers and improve the health of children from two to six years of age -- to cultivate their intellectual faculties and communicate such knowledge as may be adapted to their infant capacities." The committee asserts that when the larger population begins sending children to school those children will be endowed with a desire to learn and "those attending will feel it as a punishment to be kept from the School" because school "is to the children what the actual business of life is to the man. Here the feelings are manifested and the character is developed" so that infants grow to intelligent and responsible members of the populace. Notably the committee also points out the short term benefits of developing an education system. "To the parents themselves many advantages will accrue from these Schools. Not only will their minds be relieved from much anxiety for the safety of their children but the mother free during the day from the necessity of watching over them will have an opportunity now denied to her of contributing by her labour to their support or of devoting more time to the promotion of their comfort at home." This acknowledgment reveals an important shift in thinking about the economic role of mothers and about women's need for time to accomplish their own work. A rare and important example of the spread of early childhood education and the arguments for its expansion. Fine. M. Smith unknown books
