‎Map of Countries Visited in "Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen."‎

‎<p>This delightful pictorial map focusing on the North Pacific Ocean was distributed as a premium in connection with the syndicated radio program "Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen." The program featuring Jimmie Allen as an adventurous 16-year old pilot ran from 1933 to 1937 and from 1946 to 1947 and was sponsored initially by the Skelly Oil Company.</p><p>Background on the show appears on the Radio Days Theater of the Mind Museum website http://radiodaysmuseum.org<strong>:</strong></p><p><strong>"Broadcast History:</strong> 1933 to 1937 and 1946 to 1947.</p><p>The writers of Jimmie Allen had been flying aces in World War I. They came up with the idea of a show about a boy pilot while at a party in Kansas City and used their experience as pilots to create and write the show.</p><p>The show was one of the first to capitalize on the idea of a club as a promotional tool. To join the Jimmie Allen Flying Club all a child had to do was apply at any Skelly Gas Station the initial sponsor. As a member the child received a whole host of goodies ranging from a set of wings through to a "personal" letter from Jimmie himself. An incredible 600000 club newspapers were sent out to children each week and many thousands attended the Jimmie Allen Air Races that were held in Midwest cities.</p><p>The show was first broadcast between 1933 and 1937 and then came back to the air with brand new stories after the war between 1946 and 1947. The post-war stint in no way lived up to the fascination for the show in the 1930s."</p><p>http://radiodaysmuseum.org/index.php/our-collection-1/2-old-time-radio-shows/7-juvenile/265-air-adventures-of-jimmie-allen-the</p><p>An uncommon map.</p><p><strong>References:</strong> David Rumsey Map Collection: List no. 11105.001.

‎[South Pacific Defence Conference, 1888]‎

‎A photograph of the 1888 South Pacific Defence Conference participants taken in the grounds of Government House Sydney opposite Farm Cove‎

‎Sydney: Kerry & Jones 308 George Street 1888. Sydney Kerry & Jones 308 George Street 1888. A high-gloss gelatin silver photograph 222 × 296 mm laid down within a gilt border on the original cardboard mount with the photographic studio's details in gilt in the bottom margin. Also mounted there is a small gelatin silver photograph 47 × 165 mm of the signatures of the eight participants 'Government House Sydney Jan. 25 1888' is written below the original signatures. The item is in a contemporary frame wood with gilt-decorated plaster a little chipped now lacking the original glass visible image size 315 × 350 mm external dimensions 423 × 458 mm. The contemporary label of Cole's Book Arcade Melbourne is mounted on the verso. The main photograph has a couple of tiny surface chips to the top edge and a few tiny marks to the bottom right-hand corner; the mount is a little marked possibly lightly water-streaked but fortunately the photograph is untouched; these trifling blemishes have little impact on this fine portrait. This informal group portrait features the Governors of each of the Australian colonies along with the Governors of Fiji and New Zealand. It was taken on 25 January 1888 the day before the centenary of the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson the main reason for their presence in Sydney. It features left to right Sir Robert George Crookshank Hamilton 1836-1895 KCB LLD Governor and Commander in Chief of Tasmania and its dependencies; Sir Anthony Musgrave 1828-1888 GCMG Governor of Queensland; Sir Charles Bullen Hugh Mitchell 1836-1899 Governor of Fiji; Henry Brougham Loch 1st Baron Loch 1827-1900 GCP GCMG PC Governor and Commander in Chief of Victoria; Charles Robert Wynn-Carrington 1st Marquess of Lincolnshire 1843-1928 KG GCMG PC JP DL Governor of New South Wales; Sir Frederick Napier Broome 1842-1896 KCMG Governor of Western Australia; Lieutenant General Sir William Francis Drummond Jervois 1821-1897 GCMG CB FRS Governor of New Zealand; and Sir William Cleaver Francis Robinson 1834-1897 GCMG FRGS Governor of South Australia. <p>Extensive research notes come with this item; they were compiled with the assistance of Dr John Fahey author of 'Australia's First Spies' Sydney 2018 and 'Traitors and Spies: Espionage and Corruption in High Places in Australia 1901-1950' Sydney 2018. Among much else the notes have identified a slightly variant photograph taken at the same time as this one held by the Blue Mountains City Library; the identity of the sitters comes from a letter and diagram sent to them from the Mitchell Library in 1929. 'From the various sources available most notably the title given by the State Library of New South Wales this photograph commemorates an unofficial side-meeting of these Governors to discuss Australia's interests in the South Pacific'. Dr Fahey puts it more succinctly when he says it likely offers 'evidence of one of our earliest "secret" off to the side policy conferences'. The notes provide a lot more background information for the purchaser. A few incidentals not mentioned there: Sir Anthony Musgrave was Governor of South Australia from 1873 to 1877 and he died on 9 October 1888; Sir William Jervois was Governor of South Australia from 1877 to 1883; Sir William Robinson was Governor of Western Australia three times between 1875 and 1895 1875-1877 1880-1883 and 1890-1895.

‎San Francisco; Chicago: Southern Pacific Railroad; Printed by Poole Bros 1900. Duodecimo-size booklet 14.75 x 8.5 cm. 80 pages. Blue and brown ink on pink paper. Two photographic portraits Monsieur and Madame Bégué. Illustrations. List of railway agents. Title from cover. In logo at head of title: Southern Pacific Sunset Route. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. A souvenir anthology of writings including sixty recipes from two landmark New Orleans restaurants offered for sale to customers traveling the Sunset Route San Francisco–New Orleans by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. A sampling: Mutton Feet à la Créole Liver à la Bégué Jambalaya of Chicken Codish with White Beans Bisque of Crayfish Creamed Cauliflower Onion Salad Eggplant with Rice and Ham Mayonaise of Celery and Shrimps Pineapple with White Wine. ~ The title displayed on the wrappers is misleading: the atmospheric essays and testimonials – arranged by a literary journalist who contributed to Southern Pacific's promotional magazine Sunset Henry Monroe Mayo 1868-1950 – reveal little regarding the eponymous originator of the recipes or the history of the cuisine that brought her fame. Only pages 47-68 contain recipes by Elizabeth née Elisabetha Kettenring Dutreuil Bégué 1831-1906 the proprietary chef of the beloved restaurant in the Vieux Carré – the second oldest such establishment in New Orleans – located on the Rue de la Levée Decatur Street after 1870 downriver from Jackson Square and across from the French Market. An immigrant from southern Germany she had opened a coffee shop with her husband Louis Dutreuil in 1863. After his death in 1875 she married again and with her second husband Hippolyte Bégué 1842-1917 reopened in the same location with the aim of serving one meal per day – a “second breakfast†beginning at 11:00 a.m. – to accommodate laborers in the meat markets and on the docks who started work at dawn. A fuller history by David Shields is available in his The Culinarians Chicago: University or Chicago Press 2017 pages 270-273. By the mid-1880s trade fairs held in the city were bringing tourists as well and Bégué’s became a destination on its own. Madame Bégué died in 1906. The restaurant continued under management of her daughter but was sold in 1914 to relatives of the family Tujague competitors since 1856 on Decatur Street a few doors away. ~ A shorter tribute with recipes pages 69-74 is accorded another restaurateur presumably Victor Béro d. 1904 an immigrant from Belgium who had presided over Victor's Restaurant since 1873. Mayo appears to confuse the "Monsieur Victor" of his time with the founder and namesake of the establishment Victor Martin 1812-1865; cf. Shields page 136 445. ~ The Sunset Route of the Southern Pacific Company was the southernmost of the transport lines to the West Coast originally contemplated by the series of Pacific Railroad Acts between 1862 and 1866. Of the resulting publicly subsidized corporate consortia that would transform western North America – known collectively as the transcontinental railroads – Southern Pacific was already a mammoth system in 1900 including smaller subsidiaries such as the Texas and New Orleans Railroad and extending across territories that would later become New Mexico and Arizona as well as northwards through Nevada Utah and much of California. The in-house Sunset magazine appears to have been printed close to headquarters in San Francisco but like many publications issued by the transportation industry Mme. Bégué and Her Recipes was printed by Poole Brothers of Chicago who advertised as "railway printers" and also produced tickets brochures and mileage tables. ~ Internally clean and sound; in publisher's red wrappers decorated in black and white with an image of Madame Chef in kitchen apron.
