‎Siamo del gatto! Storie e immagini di gatti. Catalogo della mostra (Pisa, 19 dicembre 2014-12 aprile 2015)‎

‎ill., br. L'idea della mostra "Siamo del gatto! Storie e immagini di gatti" è nata da un progetto di comunicazione scientifica su alcuni temi di genetica promosso dal Museo di Storia naturale dell'Università di Pisa e supportato dalla Regione Toscana. Partendo dalle opere delle proprie raccolte e con il generoso contributo di collezionisti privati, il Museo della Grafica ha voluto condividere lo spirito e le finalità del progetto allestendo nelle sale di Palazzo Lanfranchi un percorso di storie e immagini con cui artisti di diverse epoche hanno raffigurato e raccontato il gatto. Dalle tavole per l'"Histoire naturelle" di Buffon all'immaginario umanizzato proposto dalla fantasia di Grandville, dai gatti birichini disegnati ai primi del '900 dal geniale pisano Spartaco Carlini al "Neko" che gioca con il mouse del computer, prende corpo un'originale galleria di ritratti felini che unisce l'Annunciazione di Federico Barocci alle opere grafiche di Benito Boccolari, Furio de Denaro, Marcello Guasti, Silvio Loffredo, Toti Scialoja, Giorgio Settala e altri autori contemporanei, per concludersi sui frammenti gatteschi raccontati da Antonio Bobò e Antonio Possenti. Sulle rive dell'Arno, il titolo della mostra non poteva che riprendere un modo di dire ampiamente diffuso in Toscana (per ulteriori approfondimenti filologici su questa "felice ben figurata locuzione di uso livornese" ci rimettiamo alla indimenticabile penna del grande Giorgio Marchetti e al suo celebre Il Borzacchini universale). Un modo di dire che allude a situazioni particolarmente difficili, ma che è anche - e soprattutto - ammissione della potenza felina, riferimento al nostro essere complici e vittime dell'irresistibile fascino dell'animale. Perché "siamo del gatto!", nel senso di consapevole resa e sottomissione, non è forse quel pensiero stupendo che ci coglie ogni volta che un gatto entra nella nostra vita e se ne impadronisce?

‎Vivere e morire con dignità‎

‎br. Gli ultimi giorni di una persona cara sono difficili da affrontare, per il malato, stremato dal dolore, e per i parenti, stretti attorno a lui, che condividono la sua sofferenza. In quei momenti ci poniamo diversi interrogativi, nell'arduo tentativo di dare un senso alla vita e alla morte. Nel mondo occidentale l'innalzamento dell'età media della vita unito alle acquisizioni scientifiche, mediche e tecnologiche, hanno protratto a lungo l'esistenza, trasformandola a volte in una vita solo biologica, in una presenza assente come per le persone in stato vegetativo permanente o in una sopravvivenza dolorosa. In alcuni casi sembra quasi che più che aiutare la vita si cerchi di impedire la morte. Qual è il confine tra cura e accanimento terapeutico? Si può decidere la propria morte? Come trovare, da credente, una dignità nella morte? In questo libro si analizza il tema del fine vita cercando delle risposte a queste domande dal punto di vista religioso, etico, legale e medico, con interventi di Beppino Englaro, padre di Eluana; dell'avvocato Giulia Facchini Martini, nipote del Cardinal Martini; di Don Pierluigi Di Piazza, fondatore del Centro di accoglienza Ernesto Balducci; di Vito Di Piazza, primario di Medicina Interna all'Ospedale di Tolmezzo (Ud) e di Marinella Chirico, unica giornalista ammessa al capezzale di Eluana alla casa di riposo La Quiete di Udine.‎

‎'The Bath Contest' for the Office of Master of Ceremonies 1769. Printed handbill by 'A Neutral Observer' addressed 'To the Ladies and Gentlemen who are yet uninfluenced by Party or Faction in the Present Election.'‎

‎Bath Somerset. 4 April 1769. 1p. 8vo. roughly 27.5 x 18.5 cm. On a piece of watermarked laid paper. The present item is the original handbill reproduced on pp.41-44 of 'The Bath Contest: Being a Collection of all the Papers Advertisements &c. Published Before and Since The Death of Mr. Derrick By the Candidates For the Office of Master of Ceremonies And their Friends Digested in Regular Order' Bath: Archer and Cruttwell 1769. It is scarce: no other copy being traced either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC. A frail survival on aged worn and creased paper with loss at head and to left-hand margin. It has lost the top line of the two-line heading consisting of 'To the Ladies and Gentlemen who are yet uninflu-'. The only other part of the text lacking is the number 4 of the day of the month in the bottom left-hand corner leaving 'th April 1769.' The initial paragraph is addressed to 'Ladies and Gentlemen' and this is followed by one addressed to 'Ladies' with the last four paragraphs addressed to 'Gentlemen'. The document begins: 'Ladies and Gentlemen Your Interests are united by the strong Hand of Nature. She hath given to both Sexes those Powers which equally promote each other's Happiness.' It concludes: 'What a Scene for your Sex to appear in Your Absence may shame them into Temper. A Room full of Men! What a ridiculous Sight! What Wretches should we be without You.' Note: Captain William Wade was appointed MC in 1769 -1777. [ Bath, Somerset. ] [4] April 1769. unknown‎

'This volume consists wholly of articles selected from the successive numbers of the American Messenger, to the middle of its thirteenth volume. William Allen Hallock (1794-1880) was the agent for the New England Tract Society (based in Andover, MA) when it changed its name to the American Tract Society in 1823 with the intention of becoming a national organization. The New York Religious Tract Society, considering a similar goal, contacted the New England group in 1824 about a possible merger. Hallock, believing that "the great wicked city of New York" should be its home, was influential in effecting this in 1825. He went on to wear many hats, including that of editor for the American Messenger. RELIGION BOX 10‎

‎The Famous Twenty Mule Borax Team from Death Valley California.‎

‎New York: Pacific Coast Borax Co. ca. 1925. First edition. Small twelvemo. The title page reads "Concerning Borax Bill and the Famous 20 Mule Borax Team from Death Valley California." 116 pp. including frontispiece of Borax bill. Charmingly illustrated through and with a half-tone of the mule team across two pages. Publisher's brown printed wrappers with highlights in red. Excellent condition. he wagons were among the largest ever pulled by draft animals designed to carry 10 short tons 9 metric tons of borax ore at a time. The rear wheels measured seven feet high with tires made of one-inch-thick iron. The wagon beds measured 16 feet long and were 6 feet deep and were constructed of solid oak. They weighed 7800 pounds empty; when loaded with ore the total weight of the mule train was 73200 pounds. Long after the transportation of the borax was mechanized the company sent. out these 20 mule teams as a sort of advertisement. Promotional team appearances ended with an outing in the January 1 1999 Rose Parade. They have become perhaps the leading symbol of Death Valley. Pacific Coast Borax Co. unknown‎

‎Twenty-seven Stereoviews of an Early Prospecting Expedition in the Funeral Mountains of Death Valley.‎

‎Death Valley: N.p. 1909. Twenty-seven noncommercial stereoviews 7 x 3 1/2 inches. The photographs are very sharp and mounted onto plain gray mounts. Overall excellent condition.We can find no other history of a stereoscopic documentation of a gold prospecting expedition in Death Valley nor anywhere else in California for that matter. Almost all of the cards are dated and they bear the same date of January 1909 which leads one to think that they packed it up after a month. The ostensible first view is the exception; it is dated Dec. 1908 and shows a couple of the party standing next to two of Smith's huge borax wagons in Ludlow California. Ludlow was the southern railhead for the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad operated by the Pacific Coast Borax Company and bringing borax and other mining products from Death Valley and Beatty Nevada to long distance Santa Fe Railway lines. The mere fact that one of the exploring party carried a stereoscopic camera is in itself remarkable as a decent such camera is 1909 cost between $50 and $75 dollars or between $2000 and $2500 in today's dollars. Death Valley prospector's were not known for their wealth and a burro was their usual big ticket item.The majority of the cards have annotations on the verso. From those we learn some of the party's names "Emmit" "Dickie"etc. but no last names and the names of the places in the Valley where they prospected. Their main site seems to have been Gold Basin in the Funeral Mountains of the eastern part of Death Valley. There is no record of a Gold Basin in the literature of Death Valley. Place names in Death Valley were still fluid at this point and the name was likely made up at the time. Probably it become what is now called Golden Canyon. We do know that they were solely active in the Funeral Mountains and this was likely due to the fact that the most successful strikes in Death Valley were also in the Funeral Mountains. The famous Keane Wonder Mine was still very active in January of 1909 and some $600000 in gold and silver were mined before it began to fizzle in 1911. Some of the other places named and shown in the stereos are South Mountain. Gold Mountain Rhode's Wash Scott's Canyon and Scott's Cave Death Valley Narrows Saddle Horseshoe Ridge and others. Again none of the names given by this party survived. Member's of the prospecting party are shown in 16 of the views and it seems to have consisted of six members. One interesting view is captioned "Prospector's Camp and Forge Bill Keys of Death Valley." At age 15 Keys left home to work as a ranch hand smelter worker and miner honing skills that would define his later years. His early adventures took him to Arizona where he served as a deputy sheriff in Mohave County and to Death Valley where he befriended the colorful prospector Walter “Death Valley Scotty†Scott. The year after this photo was taken Keys took a job as custodian and assayer at the Desert Queen Mine in what is now Joshua Tree National Park. He soon took ownership of the land and it became the famous Desert Queen Ranch.Why these views were taken remains something of a mystery. It is more than likely especially when keeping in mind the outrageous cost of a stereoscopic camera in 1909 they they were to be used as an advertising ploy to lure investors into investing in mining Death Valley. The two most famous and best producing gold mines in the history of Death Valley Skidoo and the Keane Wonder Mine were both at their height in 1909 and western Nevada with its mining booms in places like Goldfield Tonopah Rhyolite Bullfrog etc. was also in full-swing. We can be thankful that the anonymous photographer was very skilled; the images are very sharp and he often conveyed the desolation and grandeur in a way not seen before. In recent times taking a trip to Death Valley is considered just another fun road trip but in 1909 is was a perilous endeavor not to be undertaken lightly. N.p. unknown‎
