World War One Manuscript Diary of U.S. Army driver in France dated 1919
<p>Small octavo 127 manuscript pp. bound in original limp leather entries dated 21 May to 13 July 1919 and 25 January to 19 May 1919 written in ink in legible hand; first 50 pp consists of the diary for the time period of 21 May to 13 July 1919; the next 60 pp are apparently entries from another diary copied into this diary for the dates of 25 January to 19 May 1919 giving a total time period of the diary for 25 January to 13 July 1919. The last 17 pp of volume contains various memorandum notes including: "Partial list of books I read in France" the poem "Ladies" by Rudyard Kipling a list of different types of alcoholic beverages a poem "Jim" a quote from "Ben Hur" and "Wicksteed" a poem "To the Unknown Goddess" a poem "Jealousy" plus two other notes about war and food.</p><p> <b>Description of Diary:</b></p><p> The name of the author of the diarist is unknown at present although with research his name could presumably be found. The author is a male who is serving in the United States Army in 1919 as a driver transporting officers to various locales in France near the former frontlines. The war had just ended 11 Nov. 1918 a little over two months before this diary begins 25 Jan. 1919 thus our author sees a number of the former battle fields and entrenchments of the frontlines various destroyed French cities and towns and he makes a tour of Paris. He also visits war cemeteries and attends various events at the Red Cross or at Base Hospital 53 amongst other places. </p><p> There is much about his regular care and maintenance of his car and picking up military officers and travel to other military installations towns or places or simply acting as the driver as the officers go out on the town pick up prostitutes bed them at a local hotel and afterwards driving both the officer and prostitute to their respective homes. </p><p> The diary recounts the various 'joyrides' that the author and his fellow servicemen take to nearby towns the dinners they seek out meeting French girls bartering with the local French population with cash chocolates and cigarettes for various items like watches fruit gloves etc. The diary also recounts the steamer ride home from France to Newport News Virginia which took from 24 June to 5 July.</p><p> <b> Sample Quotes from the Diary:</b></p><p>"From other diary</p><p>Jan 25 1919</p><p>Have neglected diary. Will write only when I feel like it. At noon helped Miss Flagg pack books for another hut. Did not go to dinner but she brought me cocoa & sandwiches.

Drove them to Humes but no room there. Left them at depot. One girl about all in. Lieut L in R.C. talking to girl finally got him home at 2:30 A.M. Quite disgusting."</p><p>"May 10</p><p>Drove all day and B.H. at night. At R.C. Peggy asked me to go for a walk. Experiment 'Baso' Muy bien. In at 3 A.M.

When get back can give exhibition as 'sandwich man' for in these 4 tier bunks one is a living sandwich every night. Fair meals. Mixed indiscriminately with negroes and hate it. They are often unbearably insolent. Rain at 9:30 35 war brides aboard one being a negro. Leave locks at 1 P.M. last glimpse of France late in afternoon a low-lying headland off to right. A very heavy windy &sea steadily getting rougher. Many are getting 'mal de mer.' By night waves dashing over forward hatch & bow In very tip of ship protected from waves by covering overhead. Most motion of any part of ship but I like it. Bed early."</p><p> "June 26</p><p> Up for breakfast fed fine but nearly everyone sick especially the 'smokes.' They are whiter than I thought it possible a negro to get. Still windy and rough. Good dinner. Moderating slightly in afternoon. War brides not in evidence. Oh but they are a hard-looking bunch. One looks like someone's washwoman about 40 years old. I sure don't want anything in that class. Would be ashamed to be seen with one of them. No foreigners in mind…"</p><p> "June 30</p><p> For breakfast boiled eggs first time since I left Wash. Barracks that had eggs in regular mess. But these were so old I expected the chick to peck me when I opened the shell absolutely not fit to eat. Am sure getting tired of this trip every day is a month you read sleep eat talk watch the porpoises or simply look at the sea & think of home what you will do when you get there etc. The boat is so crowded it is very hard to get a place to sit-down & are mixed up with Negroes in everything. And the Y man takes candy & tobacco up on the promenade deck & he and the officer amuse themselves by throwing it to the fellows and laughing at them scrambling for it. It is really disgusting just like a bunch of little kids. But there is always that would do anything if they think they are getting something for nothing. Well anyhow I can stay clear of it…"</p><p> "July 5</p><p> Rolled my pack last night while I had a little room but slept perfectly comfortable. Sighted land at 12:30 debarked at New Port News at 4 P.M. 'Y' with cigarettes & candy. Marched under the 'Victory Arch' & thru town. When we halted people gave us water bought ice cream and cola at drugstore. It seems so strange to hear civilians speak English and especially children. But oh boy! It sure seems good. And everything moves along briskly and in a modern manner street cars locomotives autos & everything are so different. But unless one has spent a year in France he does not know the relief & joy it is to get back…"</p> books

Anon. After Wencelaus Hollar
Aula Veneris. Sive Varietas Foeminini Sexus diversarum Europae Nationum. The Court of Venus; or Varieties of the Female Sex of the Different Nations of Europe
1830. Full Straight-Grained Morocco. Very Good. An exquisite manuscript copy of plates from the 1644 work by Wencelaus Hollar. While a copy the pen-and-ink work here is absolutely exceptional requiring a loupe or magnifying glass to fully appreciate the niceties of detailing achieved by the artist copier. It is also clear that this copier did not merely trace the original work. Heightening the pen-and-ink work are touches of watercolor. 8vo. 173 by 117 mm. Unpaginated half-title page with a handwritten copy of the verse from "The Merchant of Venice entitled "The Folly of Fashion the Deceit of Ornament or Appearance" second title copied from the 1644 work followed by 36 mounted pen and ink copies of fashion etchings from the 1644 work and a final page with a drawing of a trophy and two musings written out. The drawings besides being meticulous with near-microscopic detail are austere with the pen and ink work heightened with only touches of flesh color for the women's faces and tiny dabs of gold for jewelry buttons and the like. The austerity we would stress is befitting the fashions represented as the early and mid-17th century was a time that garments tended to be more monochromatic and sober meant to suggest piety as any student of portraits from this era coincident with the Puritan Revolution and religious wars on the continent would have absorbed. And we would add the austerity is not just of the dress but also the expression on the women depicted here. The flesh color applied to the faces and also hands is just as nuanced as everything else about these portraits. There is a gradient of coloration capturing very realistically the actual pigment of human flesh. The one exception to the limited color usage is a depiction of a woman from Virginia a Native American whose bare garment is painted red and who is wearing jewelry that is captured with bolder applications of gold. This exotic specimen also shows a woman with a tattoo on her arms something that was completely alien from European cultures at the time. The Virginian is not the only non-European depicted however as there is a woman from Algiers a Moresco woman an Argentinian. Also shown is a Turkish woman and the dress shown is from different strata of the societies represented. Short cursive handwritten captions identify for us where the model is from. All the handwriting including on the title the poem etc. is rendered in a tight minute script. Unfortunately there is no indication who the artist copyist was other than the initials PC by several of the drawings. In the front there is an ownership inscription of an Elizabeth Cobbett. There is a watercolored bookplate with the Hillman family crest. <br/><br/> unknown books

The New Family Receipt-Book Containing Eight Hundred Truly Valuable Receipts
London: John Murray 1811. Second Edition. Hardcover. Brown leather Very good. 440 pages. 16.5 x 10 cm. A comprehensive household manual filled with what seems to be very helpful receipts and some of a dubious nature. Chapters filled with constructive advise on rearing livestock making butter brewing and the management of malt liquors the management of plants seeds and the greenhouse while other advice such as using a bush held by a rope to clean a chimney as opposed to employing a child children will damage the interior bricks seem a bit outdated. Accredited to Mrs. Rundell of New Systems of Domestic Cookery fame but there are many who think this is a false theory due to her well published falling out with the John Murray. All edges gilt dentelle edging and blindstamped Missing 1 cm. of leather at the head of spine. Interior crisp and clean.

Anon. Blair William.
The Log of the "Hersilia" in Norway 27th July to 18th August 1896.
Edinburgh: Morrison & Gibb Printed for Private Circulation. Hersdilia was a 454 ton steam yacht 171 loa manned by a crew of 19 and built in 1895 in Leith. In July and August 1896 she took a cruise to Norway and the Orkney Islands with a party of about a dozen the entire adventure being recorded here in the sort of hi-falootin' language reserved for the Upper Classes in the late Victorian era. The characters are given names such as "Lord High Admiral" "Cerberus" and "Dr. Angelicus" and the prose is riddled with weary tropes such as "in the after deckhouse incense is burned to 'My Lady Nicotine.'" The account records sea-going events and activities big waves! of course but also gives a readable narrative of their adventures ashore. This is followed by about 20 pages of mostly unreadable poetry penned by members of the expedition. Aside from a pleasing book design and a real sense of how better folks took their recreation back then the redeeming virtue of this work is its scarcity. Not in Toy. Worldcat shows only 5 libraries holding copies. Good condition in original binding showing light soiling and wear. Morrison & Gibb Printed for Private Circulation books

Black Americana 'Negrobilia' "Pick the Pickaninnies" postcard puzzle
New York: Ullman Manufacturing Company 1907. First Edition. Original Wraps. Very Good. Full color off-set printed multi-flap post card mailer with die-cut holes for puzzle and tab for closing. 3.5x5.5"; bright and unmarred with fully intact flaps. <br/><br/>An example of early 20th century Black Americana ephemera or as some refer to as 'Negrobilia' referring to a wide array of materials including mass advertisements postcards tourist souvenirs etc. with the image of an African American universally portrayed in a derogatory and racist manner. These items were produced and manufactured by and for white audiences that enhanced the perception of white racial superiority and class status. These type of items are particularly challenging to many communities however many scholars and private collectors alike agree these materials are historical records and reminders of the racist history of the United States and should not be invisible. The puzzle postcard is an example of mass produced racial stereotyping manufactured for an actual mailing enclosure. The instructions on the outside of the mailer state: "Arrange the flaps by placing one over another in such a manner as to show ONLY the eleven pickaninnies." <br /> <br />Reference: Goings Kenneth.

Anon.The House of Commons
THE REPORT FROM THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE PETITION OF SAMUEL LOW AND OTHERS WHOSE NAMES ARE THEREUNTO SUBSCRIBED IN BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND THE REST OF THE GENTLEMEN AND LANDHOLDERS IN THIS KINGDOM IN REALTION TO THE NEW DEMAND OF THE TYTHE AGISTMENT OF DRY AND BARREN CATTLE
Dublin: Samuel Fairbrother 1735. Regarding an important controversy over taxation of landed Protestants of Ireland by the Clergy. Many were forced by economics to sell their lands and leave; the result of this "tythe" was threat of mass emigration to America by the remaining Protestants. A report from an ad hoc committee of the Irish House of Commons called in 1735 to consider an important question on tax burden and emigration. Irish clergy had demanded an additional income from the imposition of a tax for "agistment" pasturage of cattle on Irish Protestant landowners. The committee decided after reviewing the evidence presented in this report that the tax would "impair the Protestant interest" by causing Protestants to emigrate to America reducing the influence of the established church in Ireland. It resolved to find a "proper remedy" though it took no legal action until the Irish House of Commons was dissolved in 1800 when the parliament in London forced an abolition of the old tithes as a formality. 8 folded quarto leaves in a folded drab portfolio.
