18712437Charterhouse School 1871. Hardcover. Very good. Dates: 1871-1877 and 1910. Small 4to. 37 ff. mostly with newspaper clippings neatly pasted in on both sides 4 ff. in manuscript "Summary of Scores" from 1871-1877 and 1910. Several leaves excised; it is possible that the present album had been re-purposed. On a few of the stubs appear fragmentary MS notations suggesting that the notebook may have once been divided alphabetically. We find on certain stubs "Ai" followed immediately by "Ao" and then several leaves later: "Her. - Hes" followed by "Io." Binding rebacked with smooth calf. In very good condition. Highly interesting homemade album of Cricket Scores available nowhere else specifically documenting the triumphs of three young members of the Blomfield family namely: E.G. Edward George C.J. Charles James and R.T. Reginald Theodore. One wonders if the present album was created in order to promote friendly competition between the brothers two of whom went to Haileybury School and one went to Charterhouse; all three went up to Oxford. There are scores and game synopsis of matches were between Haileybury Charterhouse Marylebone Cricket Club MCC Westminster Trinity College Oxon. Exeter Oxon. and more. One of the more interesting features about the album is that it provides a fascinating record of one family's love of the game:<br /> <br /> ¶ Edward George 1853-1885 entered Charterhouse School London in 1865 and transfer upon the School's removal to Godalming in 1872; in 1873 he went to Trinity College Oxon. where he earned a B.A. in 1877 and M.A. in 1879; thereafter he served as Curate of St. Mary's Portsea until 1883 and then Vicar of St. Mark's Woolston until his death in London in 1885.<br /> <br /> ¶ Charles James 1855-1928 went to Haileybury School; he underwent military training at Sandhurst and served as an army officer in India Sudan and Natal. He attained the rank of Major General before his retirement in 1917. NB: this individual is not to be confused with a noted architect of the same name b. 1862 d. 1932. <br /> <br /> ¶ Reginald Theodore 1856-1942 also went to Haileybury School; he earned his B.A. from Exeter Oxon. in 1880 and M.A. in 1884. He became an architect and was knighted in 1919. He is remembered mainly for his work designing British war memorials. <br /> <br /> ¶ The parents of the three young men were Rev. George John and his first cousin Isabella Blomfield of Bow Devonshire whose own father Charles James Blomfield was Bishop of London. <br /> <br /> ¶ At the end is a "Summary of Scores" for the years 1871-1877. Following this in a different hand is the year 1910; although the initial of the last name "Blomfield" remains the same the other initials belong to Reginald Thomas and his two sons Henry George and Austin. <br /> <br /> ¶ See Stedman Charterhouse Register 1872-1900 passim. CATALOGUER'S NOTE: We are grateful to Catherine Smith Archivist of Charterhouse School for much useful information concerning the Blomfield Family. hardcover
1960215151960. During the decades following the Second World War the expansion of the United States diplomatic corps and international cultural exchange programs created new opportunities for African Americans to participate in global professional and social networks. At a time when segregation and racial inequality still structured much of American life a growing number of Black diplomats military officers educators and government officials traveled abroad as representatives of the United States. These individuals and their families became part of an emerging phenomenon often described as Black internationalism in which African Americans experienced and documented life beyond the racial boundaries of the United States while participating in transnational diplomatic and cultural communities.<br /> <br /> Extensive vernacular photograph archive of approximately 250 original photographs the majority in color documenting the international travel and family life of an African American family likely connected to the U.S. diplomatic corps. Photographs measure approximately 3.5 x 4.5 inches with several bearing date stamps ranging from 1960 to 1973. The photographs provide a remarkable visual chronicle of mid-twentieth-century African American upward mobility and global mobility. The family is recorded across Europe North Africa Latin America and the United States appearing in both posed portraits and candid scenes documenting leisure travel sightseeing and everyday family life abroad. Numerous images show visits to archaeological sites Mediterranean and European cityscapes beaches resorts and historic landmarks while others capture cruises desert excursions and urban sightseeing. Several photographs depict the family posed near or in front of United States embassy buildings and diplomatic signage strongly suggesting a professional connection to American diplomatic or consular service. Other images record travel experiences including camel rides in Egypt visits to Greco-Roman ruins bullfighting arenas and beach resorts in Mexico urban scenes in Paris and other European cities and domestic travel within Hawaii and California. Interspersed throughout the archive are candid photographs taken in homes near automobiles and during informal gatherings offering glimpses of everyday life within a prosperous and internationally mobile African American family during the height of the Civil Rights era.<br /> <br /> Taken together the photographs present a striking counter-narrative to dominant mid-century representations of African American life in the United States. Rather than documenting marginalization or protest the archive captures cosmopolitan travel diplomatic life and transnational leisure illustrating the expanding global presence of African Americans during the Cold War era and the emergence of a professional Black middle and upper class connected to government service and international institutions. Photographs show minor curling and occasional fading consistent with age but remain clear and vibrant overall; condition very good. unknown

1855List3668New York: Horace Waters 1855. Sheet music measuring 10 ¾ x 14 ¼ inches 6 pp. Foxed with wear to edges; very good to excellent. A scarce Hutchinson Family sheet published in 1855 with an abolition theme. The song goes in part:<br /> <br /> “The captive now begins to rise and burst his chains asunder While Politicians stand aghast in anxious fear and wonder. No longer shall the bondman sigh beneath the galling fetters He sees the Dan of Freedom nigh and reads the golden letters…†<br /> <br /> It also discusses alcohol within a larger theme of good triumphing over evil. The song is included in some songsters but this standalone version is quite uncommon with one copy held at Dartmouth. In 1855 the Hutchinson Family Singers continued extensive touring across the northeastern United States presenting concert programs that combined abolitionist songs temperance material and political commentary aligned with reform movements. They had embraced abolitionism as a cause about a decade earlier with a string of compositions including “Get Off the Track†and “The Bereaved Slave Mother.â€. Horace Waters unknown

The inclusion of interracial relationships within informal personal settings reflects changing social practices that were not always visible in public discourse while the emphasis on music dance and gathering highlights the role of cultural expression in community formation.
