CARIBBEAN TRAVEL JOURNAL
An Early 20th-Century Travel Journal From A Cruise Through The Caribbean Written By A Man From Hudson New York
CARIBBEAN TRAVEL JOURNAL. Diary. 101 pages. The Caribbean. c. 1908-9. The handwritten journal belonging to C. B. Benson of Hudson New York. The diary recounts Benson’s experience on an organized cruise group visit to Caribbean locations such as St. Thomas Puerto Rico Kingston Jamaica Caracas Venezuela Panama City Panama Port of Spain Trinidad and Martinique. Benson records his experiences in each location including his impressions of the town the locals sights he visited and local travel. He visited forts a school churches a mill a sugar plantation and Carnival celebrations. Benson took his tour during the era of colonial rule the attitudes of which infuse both his experiences and observations. Based on his mention of an earthquake in Kingston Jamaica taking place a year or two before he travelled in 1908 or 1909. “…St. Thomas where we arrived about 6 A.M. mid morning Jan 26 is one of the Virgin group and we found her framed and frescoed in the principal churches. Columbus in 1493 gave the group of 100 islands rocks and…which comprise the group. St. Thomas is 13 miles in length and 3 miles in width at its broadest. And I guess we walked the length of it speaking broadly and in the abstract at this distance.The heat of the tropical sun also takes its toll and blurs our ideas of time and distance somewhat. The town of Charlotte Amelia contains 13000 inhabitants – merchants and black babies and they are all dressed in their Sunday best to receive us properly.Thursday morning at 8 we went ashore at Porto sic Rico.Returning thro the village streets we stopped at the market place and noticed the display of fruits in baskets a couple of men seated on low stools with blacks in front of them.a native woman…was entertaining us in the middle of the road with a dance.When passing the island of Haiti.‘Do you know why we do not stop at the Island of Haiti’ ‘No’ There are cannibals there there are so many fat people aboard you would lose your wife’ At St Thomas the American council held open house and received some of us who dared to invade this solitude.An hour’s railroad ride which was made interesting by stops at every little…and station where the bare legged boy with the oil gun in hand squirted oil…bearings sic of the cars and engine. As it was before the 17 miles came to an end the rear axle of the parlor car so called because it had leather covered reclining seats caught fire. But when this happened we were nearly at the end of our journey and we were not delayed much. At the sugar plantation where we detrained we found we had some distance to walk down…to the sugar mill. As there was no path and the sticky wet ground to soil made worse by the heavy rain of the night before.A sugar mill is never a clean place.The process is somewhat intricate but way he likened to the process of brewing.The cane piled up in the yard is boiled in a number of vats then is run off with barrels and in a black and solid state in shipped to the Refineries at New York. The fiber of the cane is then hardened and dried and is fed to the furnaces to boil…cane. After return to the town San Juan we visited the shops. Walked out to the fort at the entrance of the harbor. The town is excellently policed and paved in the principal streets with telegram blocks.As this day was Thursday we concluded that every day was wash day for the native women and girls who for want of other diversions spend most of their time in this form of dissipation. Even the balconies of the main public street filled with traffic of street cars carriages and drays had their fill of wash some of which are found laying in the street having been carried down by the wind. No one had appropriated it as yet; and we did not add it to our collection of souvenirs. At the officers quarters I applied for a permit of the officer of the day to enter the fort ‘San Cristobal’ the fort commanding the entrance to the harbor.The fort was like most forts. The high tower gave a commanding view of the town and harbor. Then we visited the Governor’s Palace. In the Reception Room hanging on opposite sides facing each other are life sized oil paintings of McKinley & Cleveland. In the garden were some large palms tropical ferns a fountain &.Jan 29. early in the morning we were at Kingston in Jamaica. The channel is narrow and tortuous but well… Taking a local pilot we soon…opposite it…of three vessels one of which was the Princess Louise that was caught in the hurricane here three years ago and…the larger of the three vessels was trying to pick up the light from the light house which had been blown down. This destruction of the hurricane.After driving about a mile thru the city the destruction to the buildings & pavements made by the earthquake here a year or two ago half of the city seems to be in ruins and no attempt has been made apparently to rebuild & restore the city. Thousands of lives were lost here at that time which did immense damage to the fruits. Most of the uninhabitable part of the island belongs to the United Fruit Company a Boston Corporation who ships immense quantities of bananas from Port Antonio. Owing to recent destruction by fire of Hotel Litchfield our stop at the port of San Antonio and stay of night at the Hotel was omitted. An excursion across the island by train to Mandeville was arranged in its place.The town of Colon in its principle streets are paved with brick and appear clean. We noticed many buzzards. The air was clear and there was a delightful cool breeze blowing.We stopped at all of the stations going to Panama and noted the wonderful impressions made by the Sanitary Commission. The well ventilated and screened houses. The plan for disposal of garbage the open drainage the cleared lands…But of course the facts are here – bug and drain – all working to the mutual exclusion of some ideas to the American white employers. Therefore after a few months they must have a reaction in the States to…and detach themselves from all absorbing facts. The fighting for life against…fires. Most things are…between the white employers and the black employees. So we find the ‘White Bar’ and the ‘Black Bar’ ‘The White Employees’ ‘The Silver White Employees’ &c as signs on the cars intended to carry workmen back and forth from the works.Caracas the capital of Venezuela is about 3000 ft up but the sun in the middle of the day we found very hot.Plaza Bolivar was decorated with rows of colored electric lights. They are preparing for the Carnival season which ushers in Lent in Catholic countries. The market place had counters for dry goods highly colored handkerchiefs etc. Another section was devoted to fruits vegetables etc. We noticed some very large apricots. Mr. Bolivar apparently has done a great deal for his native town. He has given his name – while the people furnished the funds – for the largest parks a street and the coinage of the plutocrats.The Spaniard the…Hildago -in his easy subjugation of the…pleasure loving tropical savage has replaced the native of simple taste and left in his place the mongrel half-breed with all the vices of the conqueror and none of the virtues of the…Indian savage…â€. The diary is in very good condition. It is mostly written in pencil but is quite legible. hardcover books

Mourning Journal
1850s Life and death Journal begun by a Girl and Finished by her Family
Handwritten journal Notebook recording death dates and obituaries for a teenage girl in 1857 upstate New York and others in her community. 96 pages numbered in pencil with 60 pages of content. Originally owned by Anna Arthur a school girl the initial pages record daily life including her daily interests in shopping and fashion. However Anna's contributions to the journal end abruptly in 1857 when she died suddenly "of brain congestion". The remainder of her journal is carried out by a family member likely her mother. Anna's obituary is pasted in. "Died. In this Village of Congestion of the brain after a short illness of but two days Miss Anna Arthur aged 17." Followed with handwritten pencil inscription with date of death Dec. 23 1857. "Among the deaths published in our paper this week is that that of Miss Anna Arthur only daughter of Charles Artur of this village. She was in the enjoyment of usual health until a day or two preceeding sic her death and no alarm was experienced by herself or family at the slight illness which suddenly terminated in Congestion of the brain. Miss Arthur was but seventeen years of age and was a young lady of much promise. -- The mysterious Providence which in the morning of life has removed from earth a darling child falls heavily upon the heads of a fond father and mother and a large circle of youthful friends and acquaintances. Truly we are as the flowers of the valley flourishing to day to-morrow no more! Happy visions rise before us our hearts are joyous no clouds dim the bright future when without a moments warning unseen and unknown the messenger of death lays his blightin touch upon the loved one and our hearts bleed with sorrow and refuse to be comforted."<br/><br/>Also includes a poem "Lines on the Death of Miss Anna Arthur" printed in an Essex County newspaper on Christmas day. "I gazed on a flower that modestly boomed On the breast of a maiden whom Death ahd entombed On her breast was a rose but not spirit was there.The roses that filled with their scented perfume The air which the mortals so softly did breathe: Were naought when compared witht the exquisite bloom Of those flowers that sigh where no spirit can grieve." The poems is signed off from Keeseville a small hamlet in the Adirondacks of New York. Followed by a handwritten poem "A Dirge". "Weep not for her; she died in early youth Ere Hope had lost its rih romantic hues; When human bosoms deemed that home of truth And earth still gleamed with beauty's radiant dews Her summer prime waned not to days that freeze; Her wine of line was run not the the lees; Weep not for her.Weep not for her she is an angel now And treads the sapphire floors of Paradise; All darkness wiped from her refulgent brow; Sin sorrow suffering banished from her eyes Victorious over death to her appear The vista'd joys of Heaven's eternal year; Weep not for her."<br/><br/>Includes obituary notices for members of the local community and others in the family including brother Asahel Arthur who passed in 1914. Includes handwritten poem "Rest Thee Brother." "Rest thee brother rest thee Underneath the snow; Winds shall sing a dirge for thee Murmuring waters flow." Begins with a log of various expenses for items needed in the year 1857 for sewing projects and other fancies that a young lady would enjoy such as "velvet ribbon" "bonnet" black silk kid gloves hair pinsand linen floss among others. Leather cover in poor condition. Wrapped in an attractive marbled folder. unknown books

Shipboard Journal
MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL OF A SAILOR'S VOYAGE ON THE BARQUE DUCHESS FROM BOSTON TO PALERMO AND BACK
Primarily at sea 1851. 34pp. in a highly legible hand. Folio. Dbd. Lightly foxed. Several pages torn out. Doodles on blank versos of some leaves. Good. First-person narrative of a young man's sea voyage from Boston to Palermo and back. Though serving as a hand the young man seems to be of fairly good breeding and education having determined to teach himself the art of navigation while on board and often waxing poetic and sentimental. Departing on Oct. 21 1850 the author says the ship is "a very good looking vessel" and that the Captain and mates are "very fine men;" regarding the rest of the crew he says: "I have not been with them long enough to judge of their characters as yet." While his journal is filled with weather and wind and resetting the rigging it also has very contemplative passages: <br> <br> "At eight PM I went to the wheel it was a beautiful night the full moon shone in all her glory casting a mellow light on all around so light was the breeze that it scarce ruffled the surface of the Ocean our ship was gliding through the water with scarcely any perceptable sic motion ah who would not go to sea were it always thus. I have been thinking of home and friends this watch which I may never see again but I hope before many months are passed I shall return to my native land and grasp the hand of friends once more." <br> <br> He writes often of seeing friends and home again and of spending his future days more profitably than his past ones. On Nov. 18 he turns twenty and writes: "I must say that but a small portion of that time has been spent as it should have been but it is passed and cannot be recalled and I have only to try to do better in future and hope for success." The ship arrives at Palermo on Nov. 30 and the crew are let ashore on Dec. 8 having finally passed quarantine. The author writes at some length about Palermo and the sights seen including the King's gardens and the catacombs "where are the remains of some twenty thousand people of both sexes and all ages from the infant to the gray headed old man." But for all the sights of Palermo he is nevertheless eager to be underway again for home. One of the tasks the crew has been set to is the painting of the ship which the author finds quite enjoyable: "We have been painting the spars today which is hard work but I have a fancy for painting so I have got along very well." <br> <br> Impatient to be home he is not sorry when they set off from Palermo on Dec. 21: "I do not think I shall regret leaving here though I have nothing in particular to complain of respecting the town or the inhabitants." Light winds hamper their return journey and at times the ship is entirely becalmed. When they finally reach Gibraltar on Jan. 14 squalls are upon them and they have to anchor there for some days. While in port the author begins to be peevish with the Captain: <br> <br> ".the Capt. has found plenty of what I call humbuging sic or unnecessary work for us to do it seems strange to me that a man professing to be a gentleman should stoop to such low acts of meanness merely to show his authority and gratify a malicious spirit but so it is with some who wish to exercise a sort of tyranny over those who have not the power to defend themselves however we shall soon be on an even footing and can say and do as we please and then I shall express myself more freely." <br> <br> Things eventually settle out though with the Duchess arriving in Nantucket on Feb. 22 1851 ending the journal. An interesting and personal account of a trip to sea. unknown books

Two pencil drawings of forest scenes.<br/><br/>Entries include a Hymn written for the British and Foreign School Society. "The stream which once a slender wild Wholl'd scarcely seen its humble way Now gushes freely from the hill And splashes into day. Oh stream of knowledge when thy tides Brings hope and life and yonder To every tree that decks thy sides Forget not then the flowers.A thousand wreaths crown many proud brow A thousand tongues his praise accord; The marble almost living now Now the death dealing sword. His greatness lives the earth and sky and tracks the . flood But womans Happiest destiny Is only - to be good."<br/><br/>Includes Biblical inscriptions from Luke 2 and many meditations on religious topics such as one Prayer entry dated to 1827: "The smiling sky is every bright the earth is fair with flowers There comes not night there falls not blight ton childhood's blissful hours;- Then pray-Heaven sees no sight so fair As happy childhood bowed in prayer." <br/><br/>Many of the entries deal with themes of mortality and death. "Life is but a scanty ledge-Where the poor traveler walk suspended o'er a fathomless abyss! Oh! let him heed his footing heed his side! Chance play round him momently and each may sweep him to destruction." Another poem comes with an introduction about the untimely death of the author: "Verses on hearing an Eolian harp at midnight by a young gentleman who died of a consumption a few days after writing them. // Ye heavenly sounds! enchanting notes! That swell the whispering breeze; Lay whence your soft complaining airs Your magic power to please. Are ye some fairy tiny voice That by the glow worms light At lonely hours your vigils keep Unmark'd by mortal sight Are ye some nymph of ancient time Like Echo hapless maid In plaintive songs that woo'd your love Till changed into a shade"<br/><br/>Other entries focus on the natural world such as a poem entry from 1828 titled "Spring Mountain": "How sweet the landscape-morning twines Her tresses round the brown of day And bright mist on the forest pines Like happy spirits float away So well on the mountain crown Whence the glad stream comes shouting down Through woods and rocks that hang on high Like clouds against the deep blue sky. Oh at this hour when air and earth Are gushing love and joy and light And songs of gladness hail the birth Of all that beautiful and bright It comes so fresh so with so sweet It draws the heart from its retreat To mingle with the glories born On the first holy light of Morn." Another reads: "What's Life the meteor's lurid glare that shoots athwart the sky: We gaze tis gone nor vestige there nor trace can we espy. Tis transient as the morning dew tis fading as the rainbow's hue tis pulsing as the boreal light Just hails the day to sink in night." Some light toning and minimal foxing. Very good condition. unknown books

The Plague
Monmouthshire: The Old Stile Press 2009. Limited Edition. No binding. Fine. Lemaire Angela. No. 3 of 25 copies for sale folio size 52 pp. The story begins: "I was present during the Great Plague of 1665 It took away my life" he said. Per the artist this work originally produced by her in 1967 is "about a man who is killed by the plague in London in 1665; I have brought him to life again so that he can tell his story." The story unfolds as a series of nine eerily wonderful etchings by Angela Lemaire which were inspired by the sufferings of the plague victims. Each enclosed in a separate leaf and introduced with a quotation from scripture also dealing with suffering with each plate numbered and signed by her. Ms. Lemaire's Afterword tells the story of her inspiration for the work and the essay by Anthony Dyson discusses the making and proofing of the plates which is a story worthy on its own merits. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Unbound folio sheets each with letterpress printing on the first and last pages inserted between the plates the images from zinc plates with each plate signed and numbered by the artist in pencil. The eight intaglio plates images 2 through 9 are each tissue-guarded; Image 1 and the original Title page are both woodcuts. Folio size the signatures being just under 15" tall the work is unpaginated containing 52 pages excluding cuts and images; type Baskerville paper Somerset soft white satin; limited edition of 25 copies for sale plus 3 NFS this no. 3 signed by the artist on the colophon page. The unsewn sections are held loosely in a folded portfolio of smokey blue Roma paper handmade by Fabriano in Italy which is then laid into a clamshell box covered with blue cloth paper label on the front with olive green lettering lined with aubergine velvet. <br/><br/>___CONDITION: Signatures are fine; clean straight with no folds or edgewear.

Courier Journal Job Printing Co
Small Lot of 19 Typography Books from the Technical Library of the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company
Various: Various 1918-1955. Hardcover. Very Good. For an itemized list of the items in this lot please inquire. Condition Very Good to Good. The Courier-Journal newspaper began publication in Louisville Kentucky in 1868 - the last run of the Courier-Journal newspaper was Sunday February 28 2021; the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company printing facilities closed for good on March 4th 2021. The material offered here is dated 1918 through circa 1955 and includes technical material used by apprentices and compositors working in the composition and press rooms of the Courier-Journal Job Printing Co. Included are 6 volumes of the Typographic Technical Series For Apprentices Part VI Nos. 32-40 out of series Chicago IL: Published by the Committee on Education United Typothetae of America 1918. All copies with the bookplate "Property of Courier-Journal Job Printing Co. For EMPLOYES' sic Use Only Return to Superintendent's Office" in a handsome Art Nouveau design on the front paste-down. This educational material demonstrates that the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was unionized at least from the beginning of the twentieth-century and highlights the power and influence of typographers who were among the most educated economically mobile wage laborers in the United States and who were represented in every major urban center in the newspaper industry; the typographic unions won a 48-hour work week in 1897 and a standard wage scale throughout the newspaper industry; as an example of the power of the typographers unions in the 1930s the International Typographical Union introduced the 40-hour work week across the industry which spread to other unions and has sinse been codified across the labor sector by federal legislation; the typographers occupied an important if ambiguous place in the development of American labor history in as much as American labor was never successful in uniting all laborers together in one force but tended organize within industries. This grouping tends to focus on the tools of the trade including type specimens and catalogs of process inks issued in the 1920s and 1930s; Courier-Journal typographers left notes to themselves in these catalogs indicating material they felt needed representation in the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company's shops. Something of an outlier in this grouping is an accordion-fold volume of photographs of printing equipment available for use in the 1950s by the competing print shop The Standard Printing Company Incorporated of Louisville Kentucky. Most likely a salesman's dummy to show potential clients that The Standard Printing Company had the latest printing equipment and the most prestigious customers this undated circa 1955 without imprint accordion-fold photo-archive of printing equipment shows the most modern print shop of the 1950s. The earliest book printed by the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was issued in 1884. An interesting article by Chris Kenning in the Louisville Courier Journal March 11 2021 gave some valuable insights into the history of the newspaper the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company and the challenges to the newspaper business and printing in general in the United States with the advent of desktop computers and the rise of the internet. While the Kenning article did not touch much on the time period 1918-1955 there are still interesting stories to tell about the printing industry in America the place of printing in the American labor movement and printing technology in the first half of the twentieth century that can be told using the materials offered here as visual aids. With the sale of the Courier-Journal to the Gannett Co. Inc in 1986 the road to the shut down of the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was opened. Now the Courier-Journal newspaper will be printed in Indianapolis IN. The current print circulation of the paper is now under 60000 while the Courier Journal's digital journalism garners 4.5 million monthly visitors to their website. Media consolidation has been made possible with the internet's ability to distribute news on a minute-by-minute basis making regional newspapers printed on paper a redundancy. The Cincinnati Enquirer the Lexington Herald-Leader the Bowling Green Daily News are all regional newspapers that will no longer be produced locally after having been produced in Louisville by the presses of the Courier-Journal. This consolidation of the newspaper industry means the loss of 102 Louisville jobs including printing press operators mailroom and transportation jobs that have been lost to the relocation of the press work to Indianapolis.
