‎Weintraub Stanley‎

‎Charlotte and Lionel: A Rothschild Love Story‎

‎Old Tappan New Jersey U.S.A.: Free Press 2003. Old Tappan: Free Press 2003. First Edition. 8vo. Hardcover binding. Charlotte von Rothschild was young and beautiful. Lionel de Rothschild almost ten years older was rich and her cousin. Theirs was an arranged betrothal joining two branches of Europe's most powerful banking firm. It seemed an unlikely love match and even their wedding in 1836 had to survive the concurrent death of Lionel's patriarchal father N.M. Yet their marriage endured through many tragedies and triumphs. Charlotte became one of the grand chatelaines of the Victorian era; Lionel England's leading financier persevered through years of bigotry to become the first Jew to be seated in Parliament. Biographer Stanley Weintraub tells the story of their stunning and surprising love for each other at the same time opening a fascinating window into a memorable age. New in new dustjacket. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Free Press Hardcover‎

‎Photograph Scrapbook Album of Dorothy Welsh Employee of Schantz Organ Company: 1951-1990‎

‎Orrville OH; 1954-1990. 4to. Hardcover binder with 99 clear plastic leaves holding hundreds of clipppings ephemera and 203 photographs 53 black and white snapshot; 122 color snapshot; 26 Polaroid instant color prints; 2 black and white enlargements. Contents laid into pages loose. Majority of photographs captioned to versos. Overall well preserved; about near fine. <br/><br/>A large scrapbook compiled by Dorothy Agnes Welsh b.1921-d.2001 documenting her 40-year career with the Schantz Organ Company of Orrville Ohio. Founded in 1870 Schantz was primarily a local operation until a national expansion in the years immediately following WWII. A turn-key firm responsible for all aspects of the design building installation service and renovation of many of the country's finest pipe organs its growth and many of its most ambitious projects are documented here including the firm's magnum opus: a massive 1950's installation in the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Newark NJ conatining nearly 9000 individual pipes. <br /> <br />Through article clippings images detailed captions and notes Dorothy documents the day-to-day at Schantz through her clear well composed views and uncomplicated text. Approximately 1/4 of the images are of employee gatherings primarily retirement parties though the majority of prints are occupational and provide clear views of the company's process and employees: woodworking intricate electronic designs antique organ restorations installations etc. from the early 1950's to 1990 and from the perspective of a female employee. <br /> <br />Welsh began work in the console department in January of 1951. During her four-decade long career she served in nearly all of the company's departments thus these images seem to document every aspect of the firm's work. Many employees were women. A telling bit of ephemere suggests what the workplace may have been like for Dorothy: an illustrated napkin disparaging women drivers along with a brief note on and 1965 photograph of the co-worker who left it for her Ray Eyster is among the ephemera. The incident seems to have stuck with Dorothy given its presence among the contents. "Eyster Put this on my work bench. I had been driving a car a short time when this show up. He work at Schantz a few yr. He was not happy .". <br /> <br />Clippings are often notated by Welsh and focus on local and national coverage of Schanz's projects and notable life events of her co-workers primarily obituaries. Additional are several photographic company brochures with detailed specs on organ installations at Lawrence University in Appleton WI: Trinity United Church of Christ in Canton OH; First Methodist Church in Glendale CA; Sharp Chapel at Tulsa University; and more. <br /> <br />A considerable primary record of women in an artisan workplace richly documenting in visual and written detail the myriad elements involved in the work of the Schantz Organ Company. hardcover books‎
