来老难 Lao lai nan. Getting Old is Hard.

1980223104Unknown.: No publication details. circa1980. A poster with the image of an old man Lao Lai Zi outlined with white characters on a black background text in simplified Chinese characters 77 x 52.5cm small 1cm closed tear right edge and lower left corner repaired. In good condition with clear and well defined characters making the text easy to read. Lao Lai Zi a symbol of aging and filial piety is here represented in what appears to be a white line drawing on a black background. On closer inspection however the lines are made up of poignant and occasionally amusing rhyming verses listing the indignities of old age imploring the young not to look down on the elderly. The original stele carved with a similar image titled “Lao Lai Nan” Growing Old is Hard is located at the Temple of the Medicine King in Beipo village in Shaanxi Province. It isn’t known exactly when the Beipo stele was carved but it is said to be related to a Mrs Li who lived in the temple and wanted it carved to teach her unfilial children a lesson. The use of simplified characters and catchy verse written in modern Chinese indicate that it is a 20th century artefact. The Beipo stele includes smaller carvings of eight old people using sticks along the vertical edges. This poster is a modern artistic stone rubbing interpretation of the main visual feature on the Beipo stele i.e. the central figure outlined in characters in a pose and design similar to the original. A well known educational Chinese folk illustration “Lao Lai Nan” is a moral lesson on respect for the elderly. 老来难，老来难，劝人别把老人嫌，当初嫌别人老，如今轮到我头前，千般苦，万般难，听我从头说一番。耳聋难与人说话，差七差八惹人嫌. … Getting old is hard it’s hard I urge you not to look down on the elderly. Earlier I despised others for being old but now that I’m facing it head on with a thousand kinds of troubles and difficulties listen to everything I say. Being hard of hearing makes it difficult to communicate if you miss this or that you annoy people… … …痛苦难言聆，明不明睡不着，一夜小便七八遍，怕夜长，怕风寒，时常受风病来缠年老肺虚常咳嗽，一口一口吐粘痰，儿女们都恨咱说，我邋遢不像前，老的这样还不死，你还想活多少年… … … It’s hard to explain all the difficulties one can’t sleep and every night one gets up to urinate seven or eight times. I hate long nights cold breezes and I get sick from being in draughts. My lungs are weak and I cough and cough and cough up phlegm so my children dislike talking to me. They seem to think I’m unkempt and don’t look like my former self. So old and still not dead how much longer am I planning to live . No publication details. unknown

Original limp leather 3-ring binder gilt lettering stamped on front cover ink lettering & association of Otto F. Schumann on front cover some soiling dustsoiling edgewear still VG exemplar. This Jazz Age weaving manuscript notebook complete with weave formation design plates fabric samples and instructions offer a remarkable and invaluable artifact of how a young American textile designer and weaver received training at the famed Philadelphia Textile School now Philadelphia University during the 1920s. These course books were judged on completeness and the aspiring weaver’s skill in presenting the details about the instruction as well as their abilities in running the machinery required to produce the cloth. This manuscript notebook includes Schumann’s detailed plates and notes on producing color effect on the plain weave creating Broken Twills Crowfoot Satins Checked & Figured Broken Twills Entwining Twills Basket Weaves and Broken Satins. The extensive manuscript notes detail the loom instructions how many lines are required composition and more in producing the assorted effects. Because of the poor quality of United States textiles exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition in 1876 the Philadelphia Textile Manufacturers pushed for a formalized vocational school to train weavers designers and textile workers. In 1884 it became part of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art with 81 students enrolled by 1885 and by 1894 the School of Textiles added a Department of Wool Carding & Spinning and a Department of Cloth Finishing and Design. By the 1920s the Philadelphia Textile School was offering extensive three-year textile courses chemistry and dyeing courses as well as design courses in cottons woolens worsteds silks Jacquard design and more. Schumann 1906-1967 was the son of Hugo Schumann founder and owner of the Maid Hosiery Mills in Reading PA through the opening decades of the 20th century for whom he worked with until after World War II as designer and sales executive.

[New England – Gilded Age – Women] Coolidge, Alice Brackett WhiteBiblio.com

My Early Reminiscences / Alice B Coolidge 1926

1926List3141Quincy Massachusetts: unpublished 1926. 201 pp cardstock wraps. Normal wear to wraps; overall Near Fine. Alice Brackett White Coolidge 1864â€“1927 was a Boston socialite of the prominent Richardson family; her grandfather was merchant and Massachusetts State Legislator Jeffrey Richardson. Coolidge was also the author of three childrenâ€™s books: The Bunnies of Evergreen Village 1917 The Refugees in Evergreen Village 1918 and Evergreen Village to the Rescue 1922. Offered here is Coolidgeâ€™s unpublished memoir of her early life written in 1926 titled My Early Reminiscences. The memoir recalls Coolidgeâ€™s childhood and teen years spent mainly in Massachusetts New Hampshire and Maine. Her recollections typically involve extensive descriptions of the houses at which her family stayed the scenery around them and the various families they met and visited with. Given her position in society her acquaintances are sometimes quite influential people: Princeton president John Grier Hibben enjoys Coolidgeâ€™s fishcakes; Trinity Church rector Phillips Brooks gives her grandfather an â€œexcellent pewâ€ in the newly-finished church; pioneering doctor Alfred Worcester mistakes red pepper for mercury in a scientific demonstration at her school; and she recalls brief correspondences with John Greenleaf Whittier and William James. Coolidge also took dance lessons from Augustus Papanti whom she describes as â€œone of the thinnest men I ever sawâ€ who was â€œvery melancholy. I hardly remember his ever smilingâ€; and remembers Judge Charles Devens for â€œhis great stature his charming face his courtliness of manner and his really boyish simplicity in entering into our evening gamesâ€ including a game of â€œmind readingâ€ which Devens played â€œwith zest.â€ One of her longtime friends was Rear Admiral John E. Pillsbury. She recalls: â€œMr. Pillsbury as a young naval man a brother-in-law of my uncle Dr. Richardson used to take me out in the swan-boats on the Public Garden Pond. Later he went through all the ranks up to being retired as a Rear Admiral but time and circumstances never changed him. We always met at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and always talked at great length. . He was a wonderfully interesting lovable man and very modest and unassuming and shy. I always considered him one of my best friends though older by many years than I.â€ Another interesting New England figure Coolidge encountered was Joseph Lee. She describes Leeâ€™s hotel in Newton: â€œThe house where we stayed was kept by a remarkable man named Joseph Lee. He was a mulatto much above many of his kind and his wife was a handsome woman partly Indian. They did the cooking and he waited on table with a colored maid to help him. In fact there were no white women in the house. The cooking was delicious.â€ Lee was born enslaved in South Carolina freed in 1865 and went on to invent the automatic bread kneading and bread crumbing machines. Though nearly all of her childhood was spent in New England she also remembers being invited to visit Charles Joseph Bonaparte in Baltimore: â€œWe had never been so far south except to Washington and I felt a curious feeling of being in a different atmosphere from any I had known. . We were met at the station by Mrs. Bonaparte in a large roomy covered vehicle with two horses. The coachman and footman were in the Bonaparte colors -- a deep wine color. The footman I well remember. He was a light-colored young negro very handsome and smiling and excited over having young ladies from the North. . All the servants were colored and lived in cabins near the house. . I never knew Mr. Bonaparte in public life so my memories of him are quite intimate and I fancy I saw much of his real self. . His mind was very active. He used to talk or listen as he walked and he moved his head in a curious way from one side to the other with a slightly rolling motion which was distinctly individual. . I never saw him irritated or excited and he was always very simple. In the group picture we had taken at the Maplewood he sat down cross-legged on the piazza floor like a boy. That was in about 1887. I suppose in public life or in law he was different but he was very equable and charming as we met him in his home and at the mountains. Most of all I admired his sweet tender ways with his flower-like wife.â€ This was not too long after the end of Reconstruction and Coolidge remarks on the tense atmosphere: â€œMrs. Bonaparte had warned me to be careful about questions regarding the North and South as the â€˜feelingâ€™ had not yet died away. I was so glad she had warned me. A gentleman slipped in and sat down beside me to watch a parade and whispered in my ear as the bands had been playing â€˜Dixieâ€™ how glad he was to meet a Northerner. I was glad to meet him too although I remember neither his name nor face but I felt I breathed freer in his sympathetic locality. . I had no idea that this feeling still remained as far North as Baltimore and of course I remembered how our Massachusetts troops had been fired upon in Baltimore at the outset of the war but I was admonished and very wise and only returned my unremembered neighborâ€™s greeting with a sympathetic word and look.â€ Besides individuals Coolidge does cover a few historical events including the Great Boston Fire of 1872: â€œOh! a horrible sight met our eyes. Back of the opposite houses in Park Square was a background of sheets of red flames and heavy black smoke rising high into the air. . On the Parade Ground all was in confusion and the sight was very sad and never-to-be-forgotten. It was literally covered with boxes and bales of furniture and sad forlorn desperate looking people crouching or sitting or standing amidst what they had saved from their homes . At night . the whole city was in darkness as there was no gas.â€ The family also frequently stayed at hotels in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Coolidge recalls the â€œoverwhelmingly tragicâ€ effects of the 1867 sale of this land to logging companies; she writes that looking out from the Flume House in Franconia â€œall about were brown scarred places marking the woodchoppersâ€™ work which was cutting away our beautiful trees for lumberâ€. In this memoir Coolidge supplies detailed remembrances of the private personalities of influential figures of Gilded Age New England. We find two copies of My Early Reminiscences on OCLC. Of interest to historians of the era especially as told through the perspective of a young woman. unpublished unknown

3 AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED by the British-born American gossip columnist SHEILAH GRAHAM to her friend Jean Dalrymple whose apartment she will be renting while Jean is away. Together with a photocopy of Wright Tyson's article on Graham from Andy Warhol's "Interview" magazine with annotations penned in ink by Sheilah Graham.

Very good. - Three autograph letters signed by Sheilah Graham in 1977 together with a photocopy of the article about her by Wright Tyson with notes penned in ink by Graham on October 21st 1985 also addressed to Jean Dalrymple. In her first letter of March 7th 1977 Sheilah Graham has penned over 70 words on 10 inch high by 8 inch wide buff paper confirming her arrangements to rent Jean Dalrymple's New York City apartment. She informs Jean that she'll be arriving on "Monday March 28" and staying for a month & a half". "I look forward to coming & to seeing you" Signed "Love Sheilah". The letter is folded for mailing else fine. The letter is accompanied by a retained copy of Jean Dalrymple's typed reply offering to cook dinner for Sheilah and correcting the address "except that my address is 150 West 55th Street not 130 . as I'm sure you well know! My office is 130 West 56th Street as on this letterhead! Often confuses people!"Sheilah Graham's second letter consists of over 116 words penned on both sides of 9 inch high by 6 inch wide buff paper. She mentions including her check for $500 for one month "It's an answer to my prayer." She'll be in New York on the 14th though moving in on the 28th and as she's working on a new book asks if Jean could call "Plaza Typewriter" and have them deliver an "IBM Standard Electric not the ball keys" to her apartment. Signed "Love Sheilah".In her third letter dated March 14th Sheilah Graham pens over 170 words on both sides of a 10 inch high by 8 inch wide sheet of cream paper. The thought of Jean "cooking dinner on the 28th wafts me to Paradise" though she expresses concerns "since my upset tummy landed me in the hospital I'm being very careful". She goes on to state that "I'm coming along well with my new book & I'm going to try to sell it to a network or for a movie." Signed "Love Sheilah". The letter is folded vertically & horizontally for mailing with a couple of short tears to the top & bottom of the folds. Very good. The letter is accompanied by a retained copy of Jean Dalrymple's typed reply dated March 17. "I'm so happy I can get your dinner on the 28th. and of course I wouldn't invite anyone else! But if you ever want to have people in. I can do very fine 'catering' for you!!!!" She reassures Sheilah about her diet "I am the original "Regime Minceur" cook. now made famous by the great French chef Bocuse." "By the way I'm sure you remember that we had a fatal fire at my apartment house. The owner is still fixing the house up and we have new doors but the hall still needs some painting. but I'm pretty sure it will be done within the next eleven days so it wll be pretty when you arrive!"There is also a photocopy of Wright Tyson's article on Sheilah Graham from the September 1985 issue of Andy Warhol's "Interview" Magazine illustrated with a portrait of Sheila in Jean Dalrymple's apartment. Graham has penned a lengthy note along the left border of the page dated October 21st 1985. "Dear Jean this was taken at your apartment. The screen was added but if you look closely you will see some of your things on the table! Love Sheilah".The British-born American gossip columnist Sheilah Graham born Lily Shiel 1904-1988 was a nationally syndicated gossip columnist during Hollywood's Golden Age. Her career spanned nearly four decades. She was involved in a relationship with F.

Three Watercolors for Proposed Intersections in Queens from the Robert Moses Era

1940LIST0210New York 1940. Watercolors on paper affixed to later illustration board 14 x 26 inches each. Very Good. An attractive set of images from the Robert Moses era in an unknown hand. The images show proposed intersections including two that were never built. The images include "Proposed Parkway Passing over Entrance to Fort Totten" which shows an overpass on the Cross-Island Parkway in Northeast Queens dated October 1937; "Linden Boulevard Overpass at Southern Parkway" showing an unbuilt intersection at North Conduit Avenue and Dumont Avenue perhaps in the Ozone Park neighborhood undated; "Woodbine Street Passing over Long Island RR to Metropolitan Ave & 67th St." which shows a non-existent intersection near the Middle Village stop on the M line dated August 1940. Interesting relics from the Robert Moses era which shaped the infrastructure landscape of New York City. A very good group overall though the Woodbine Street illustrations shows marginal dampstaining and all three show evidence of label removals and wear. unknown

[DANCE SCHOOL PHOTOS -- JAZZ AGE/WOMEN]. [KNOWLES, Annabelle Gertrude (Director); BAKER, Almeron Joseph, BEEM, Ira Kintner & CENBiblio.com

A captivating group of commercial studio photographs of the performers performances and costumes at the Hollywood College of Music Dancing and Fine Arts in Portland Oregon as the Jazz Age descended into the Great Depression. The performers of the â€œBaby Vanitiesâ€ and â€œKiddie Revueâ€ range in age from 6 & 7 to teenage years including both girls and boys.

193058055Portland OR: Hollywood College of Music Dancing & Fine Arts Baker Studio Granada Studio La Vere Photo Shoppe Photo Craft Studios ca. 1930-1933. Oblong 4to. 24 original photographs all preserved in archival mylar sleeves sized 6.25 x 7 in. up to 8 x 10 in. some w/ photographerâ€™s imprint w/in negative others w/ manuscript captions added a few w/ annotations and/or photographerâ€™s instructions on versos all with bright strong contrast a few w/ offsetting from previous mounting on versos and one w/ very small pinholes at corners from prior mounting. Recent cloth binder stamping front cover excellent grouping. These photographs vividly document the dance and music studio operated by Annabelle Knowles reflecting the fast evolving costumes and aesthetics of the twilight of the Roaring 20â€™s as the U.S. descended into the Great Depression. These photos also clearly reflect the influence of Gus Edwards 1879-1945 vaudevilleâ€™s premier producer of kiddie acts and who had produced and released the shorts â€œKiddie Revueâ€ in 1930 and 1931. His influence was not only driven by his songs â€œBy the Light of the Silvery Moon & â€œSchool Daysâ€ but also discovering such stars as Groucho Marx Eddie Cantor Mae Murray Sally Rand and many others. The images depict girls in two-piece outfits in front of Art Deco staging for â€œBody and Soulâ€; bare-backed girls in Flapper Era inspired costumes for chorus line â€œKiddie Revueâ€; song and dance routines featuring Ronald Chetwood in top hat with Marcile Shillito Virginia Collins and chorus line in Jazz Age era costumes and canes; and several show Barbara Jane Wicks Shirley Jay Mulkey and Sunny Dentler in Spanish inspired costumes for â€œBaby Vanities.â€ Another shows adolescent boy and girl dance team in an â€œApacheâ€ dance inspired costume number. The Hollywood College of Music Dance & Fine Arts offered classes and instruction in all ages with the last few photos showing teenage girls in chorus line with short hair coquettish expressions and teamwork or chorus line numbers. Annabelle Knowles 1900-1989 was a musician and dancer who founded the Hollywood College of Music Dancing & FIne Arts at 4112 NE Sandy Blvd. some time in the late 1920â€™s. Most of the street directory references focus on 1929-1932 and her British-America theatre-director husband at the time Vincent Knowles 1883-1944 worked at the studio as well. Baker 1882-1972 was a longtime commercial studio photographer in Portland OR who had initially begun as a photographer with noted tourist travel guide Howard Eaton photographing tours through National Pakrs. Beem 1892-1984 was founder and photographer at Granada Studio located in the 1930â€™s at 515 Swetland Building in Portland. Centlivere 1878-1964 owned and operated La Vere Photo Shoppe and Photo Craft Studios on Sandy Blvd. in Portland for nearly all of his career. We could find no similar collections or photographs or even references to Annabelle Knowles and very few examples of any of these three photography studios in institutional holdings.
