Women Suffrage Theatre Marlowe Julia Genthe Arnold
Portrait of Julia Marlowe. Inscribed by Marlow to a Friend 1940
New York: Arnold Genthe 1920. Silver gelatin print 6 ¾ x 9 ¼ inches on larger mount. Signed by Genthe on the mount inscribed by Marlowe as Marlowe Sothern on the mount as follows: "To Jean: our little comrade on our walks in Beautiful Stockbridge. In remembrance also of 'Sun Yat Sen' and Choo-Chio Chow. September. 1940. Julia Marlowe Sothern. Very Good. An uncommon image of the actress feminist and suffrage advocate Julia Marlowe who adopted the name - though never legally - Julia Marlowe Sothern after working with the Shakespearean actor E.H. Sothern. Ill health led Marlowe to retire from the stage in 1924 and she was seldom seen in public. This photograph inscribed later in her life is an uncommon relic from her reclusive later years. We can find no record of a Jean or the names mentioned. <br /> <br /> Arnold Genthe who famously photographed the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 from the site of his destroyed studio moved to New York in 1911 where he became a portrait photographer. He most likely took this picture in his stint on the east coast. We find no other record of this specific portrait of Marlowe. Some silvering at margins otherwise excellent with some light normal tanning to mount. Arnold Genthe unknown books

Women Travelers Hall Adelia M.
Pair of diaries documenting a woman's voyages from her home in Baltimore to missions in Africa the West Indies and Cuba
Africa; U.S.; at sea 1871. Mismatched pair of full sheep pocket diaries from 1870 and 1871 with entries in a single hand from Adelia M. Hall during her voyages around the world. Comprised of 180 manuscript pages 134 in the first diary and 46 in the second and including loose items in the pocket of the first diary an Autograph Letter Signed from Julia de Gregg mistress of an Orphan Asylum in Cape Palmas regarding Adelia's departure and their friendship and four small newspaper clippings with information on the departure of the ship Golconda and books coming up for sale. Adelia wife of George W.S. Hall belonged to a family deeply involved in the American Colonization Society and the Maryland State Colonization Society -- both designed to resettle freedpeople to Africa before and after emancipation. The diaries reveal that she is most curious about observing the native cultures where she travels when allowed to and that she connects in personal ways to those who are orphaned or disadvantaged. They provide an opportunity to see a privileged woman at times wrestle and at other times be ignorant of her privilege; and to consider how women's health often hindered by fashion or social expectation could limit even the most adventurous women. Accompanied by her husband and several small children Adelia traveled to reaches of the world most white American women would never have the opportunity to see. The first diary begins on New Year's Day of 1870 a day which Adelia spent aboard the ship Golconda with her Aunt and Uncle Fisk before their departure. Adelia's father-in-law Dr. James Hall was agent of the ship that occasionally brought cargo between the U.S. and Liberia but more frequently served as a packet for bringing missionaries and freedpeople to and from between the continents African Repository & Journal. Adelia herself would depart two days later to Sierra Leone aboard the brig Maggie. Both the diary and an accompanying two page ALS document her time in Cape Palmas where she and her small daughter Juliet visit the missionaries' Orphan Asylum bestowing gifts of clothing and dolls and receiving plant cuttings. In the letter schoolmistress Julia deB Gregg writes with warmth -- showing her gratitude to Adelia as a benefactress and as a reminder of home: "As you signify - these few days' intercourse in this foreign land has brought us very near together and leaves with me the same impression of friendship & affection you so lovingly express." Adelia's diary expands upon this. The women first met on Sunday February 27 and stayed in almost daily contact until Adelia's departure Saturday March 12. Her entries mention visits to the little girls lunches and teas and the exchanges of gifts and stories. While Miss Gregg and the other teachers get a hint of home from Adelia she seems to benefit from time with the orphan children mentioning several times that she is separated from several of her own. But Adelia does not limit herself only to the familiar in her travels. Though she often mentions feeling "feverish" feeling weak and having headaches being tired or suffering from "bad dreams" aboard the ship she is also compelled to observe cultures different from her own. In early March she embarks with George reporting that they "met some natives -- who were such barbarians they would neither give us fish or SELL." The uselessness of their money compared to the natives' need to feed their families quite escapes her. At Fishtown she insists on accompanying George on shore asserting that she wants "to see a real native town" despite his concern that she'll attract too much attention. She writes "We have returned!! -alive- but such a day - the natives had never before seen a white woman we were the center of an admiring circle from five hundred to a thousand men women children babies - born and unborn - crowded round and gazed upon us." They continue in this way down the coast until returning in July. And many entries are spent describing food George's bartering to obtain ale milk chicken and other goods and Adelia's collecting of plant samples. Throughout the two diaries Adelia worries about her weak health considering whether she might have malaria. Though no cause of death is noted she did pass away in Nassau two years later in 1873. Her diaries remain behind a rich trove inviting researchers to study women's missionary travel the colonization movement white privilege in travel cross-continental communities of women the politics of bartering and gift exchange and women's health among many other topics. unknown

The Earls of Carnarvon are the hereditary proprietors of Highclere Castle made famous as the locale for the popular television series "Downton Abbey." Popular account of Mediterranean travel by the prolific Irish novelist and essayist. Kavanagh 1824-1877 spent most of her adult life in France supporting herself and her mother on the proceeds from her writings which were numerous; in addition to several novels the best-known being Nathalie 1851 Kavanagh published volumes of critical essays devotional works books for children and many stories and short pieces for periodicals. Kavanagh's concern with gender and society inflected much of her published work and this is perhaps most true of her travel writing a genre which afforded her the opportunity to couch social critique in the form of casual observation. As one modern critic has noted ".as a hybrid genre travel writing.gave women such as Kavanagh the opportunity to write on historical and political themes and to compare the position of women in British society with that of women in other countries." see Anne O'Connor "Travel Literature and Traveling Irishness: an Italian Case Study" in Traveling Irishness in the Long Nineteenth Century Marguerite Corporaal and Christina Morin eds Lon: 2017.
