179138981791. 13 x 9 inches. Dark brown body colour on prepared paper. Inscribed "N.2.Stück" and "am 9ten Aprill 1791--nach der Natur gezeichnet von JEW" ink collector's stamp "Linel-Smlg. No." followed by pencilled number "1046" all on verso. Provenance: Linel ink collector's stamp on verso.<br/> <br/>A high quality image that clearly is drawn from life as the inscription claims. The artist's use of a dark prepared ground recalls the work of Barbara Regina Dietsch and her family. A search of Nissen's index of artists reveals one possible name: the Swiss artist Johann Emmanuel Wyss 1782-1837. However the maturity and assurance shown in the present drawing would seem to rule him out: he could have been no older than nine in April 1791. unknown books

Scrapbook compiled by Ms. Josie Powers of 124 Jay Street Butte Montana; Vice-President of the Junior class at Butte Central High School Captain of the Girls' Basketball Team. Opens with a pencil sketch on the front-pastedown showing a young woman in a stylish floral dress and high heels holding a young man in a dip and laying a big ol' kiss on him. The caption tells us that this is "Josie in native scenery" and the rest of the scrapbook maintains that spirit of youth and fun -- bold and it seems into everything. Includes clippings from the high school newspaper handwritten notes from her friends prom invitations and a bit of class warfare "Fog horns are not the only things that blow so do some Seniors". Each page is completely full nicely showcasing jokes poems and prayers in many hands as well as the occasional sketch. Photographs nicely capture the hair and clothing styles of the period. Ms. Powers also saved a variety of little artifacts from a wooden ice cream spoon to a lock of hair to fabrics ticket stubs honor roll lists a glass tile and church programs. A quirky energetic amalgam. <br/><br/> hardcover books

16088Edith Mary's Head Teacher and Mother Superior of a Girls' School Describes Living through the Blitzkrieg. Autograph letter signed Dec. 22 1940. Letterhead of Ascot Priory Ascot Berks. Berkshire England To Mr. William Nourse. The Mother Superior writes this missive on living through the Blitz with a school of girls under her care.<br/><br/>".I appreciate the kindness of our friends more than ever this year for I know how much financially hit everyone is. I do hope you will have as happy a Christmas is possible Xmas 1941 bring us peace! We have had some bombs unpleasantly near but lately I am glad to say the nights have been much quieter." The Blitzkrieg lasted from September 1940 to May 1941 during which time bombs flown in by the Luftwaffe rained down on London and its environs. Ascot Priory in the pristine Berkshires 60 miles from London was apparently not immune from the devastation. However Sister Edith responds with monastic calm. The Congregation of Religious of the Society of the Most Holy Trinity was founded in 1856 as a sisterhood of nuns dedicated primarily to nursing the sick who could not find treatment in London. They also cared for orphans. In 1933 a girls secondary school was added to the priory and named St Augustine's School. There were about 136 boarders and day girls until it closed operations in 1965. Sister Edith who wrote this letter was fondly remembered by pupils as a PE teacher and by the time of the Blitz as Reverend Mother. unknown books

194819690Poughkeepsie 1948-1951. Very good . Oblong 16mo. Commercial string-tied album white boards. 225 gelatin-silver prints 2.5" by 3.25" corner-mounted on black paper with captions in white ink. Apparently complete. Very good plus. Mild touches of wear along page edges; many captions a bit smudged; else clean and sound. <br/><br/>A evocative collection of photographs taken and compiled by Robert H. Tucker while he was a student at MIT of his high school career at Poughkeepsie's Arlington High School where he graduated with the class of 1950. Tucker called this album his "own yearbook" and it indeed shares a great deal with conventional yearbook style with humorous captions "A test Oh no!" and attention to a wide range of faculty staff and student activities both in and out of the classroom. Subjects include track meets baseball games cheerleaders teachers at the blackboard students at work in the library a special event including donkey-riding in the gym commencement and other activities. More than mere yearbook however the album reveals Tucker to be a natural photographer with an eye for both composition and POV; his sports shots are especially vibrant often crisply capturing athletes in the midst of the action. A detailed album capturing the dawn of the post-war American teenager. Indeed quintessentially so; we are tempted to call this an almost Platonically ideal example of the high school album. hardcover books

1850CAT0126Manual Labor School Shawnee Nation Johnson County Kansas 1850. nk on wove paper: 9 ¾ x 7-3/16 in.; strong creases where folded two small closed tears starting with scattered pinholes to creases. Very Good. The document lists the names and ages of four Creek boys and where letters to their parents are to be sent within the Indian Territory: two to Creek Agency and two to Little River Mission. Verso is written "Post Office for Indian Boys"; it is signed by or possibly addressed to Reverend Edward T. Peery superintendent of the Methodist Shawnee Manual Labor School from late 1844 to around 1850. The boys were presumably students at the school which taught religion basic academic subjects and manual labor farming "mechanics" sewing etc. to Native American children from 1839-1862. <br /> <br /> The school was founded by Reverend Thomas Johnson who supported slavery and used slaves at the school. The school briefly served as the second capital of Kansas Territory when the pro-slavery "Bogus Laws" were enacted in 1855. Superin-tendent reports claimed that the children were enrolled willingly by nearby tribes and that each day the student's time was divided equally between instruction and work. Recent scholarship has focused on the darker realities at the school which was supported by the US government as part of efforts to "civilize" tribes relocating after the Indian Removal Act 1830. <br /> <br /> One boy's father is listed as Robert Buckham at Little River in Creek Nation. Buckham's letters from Indian Territory 1841-1844 are held by Cornell University library in their Native American Collection; the finding aid states that he and his wife were unable to have children and planned to adopt "orphans." <br /> <br /> See also Martha B.

1919WRCLIT73361Long Eaton 1919. Four volumes. Whole numbers 23 4 and 5. Quarto. Decorated wrappers. Some modest fraying or shallow chipping along a few overlap wrapper edges occasional light foxing first number pulled at staples otherwise very good. Early representative numbers of this annual published at the Long Eaton school which was found in 1910. While the indices of contributors yield up no names of literary stars the periodical is distinguished by the presence of tipped-in woodcuts some in color and examples of color stencil prints of embroidery designs. Number 3 is evidently wanting one of the woodcuts called for in the table which was evidently issued as a loose separate. Wrappers of two numbers denote it a 'Magazine' although the uniformity of 'Annual" is reflected on the title-pages. unknown books
