‎np: np 1861. First edition. Original leather covers. Good. A REMARKABLY EXTENSIVE ARCHIVE OF A UNION SOLIDER INCLUDING DIARIES FROM 1861-1865 SPANNING HIS ENTIRE CIVIL WAR CAREER.<br /> <br /> THE SOLDIER CHARLES E. SMITH PARTICIPATED IN SOME OF THE MOST CRITICAL CAMPAIGNS OF THE WAR INCLUDING THE SEIGE OF VICKSBURG THE FALL OF ATLANTA AND SHERMAN'S MARCH TO THE SEA. Background:<br /> <br /> Charles E. Smith 1836-1905 was born in Berlin Township Ohio. He worked as a farmer and country schoolteacher in Alum Creek Delaware County Ohio. He enlisted in the 32nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry at the age of 25 on September 3 1861 and mustered in September 7 1861. He was promoted to the rank of corporal in Company I of the regiment on January 30 1864. He was slightly wounded on July 29 1864 during the Atlanta Campaign. He mustered out of the service on July 20 1865 at Louisville Kentucky.<br /> <br /> The 32nd Ohio Infantry was organized at Mansfield Ohio on August 20-September 7 1861 and mustered in for three years' service under the command of Colonel Thomas H. Ford. The regiment was involved in several important engagements and operations during the Civil War including the Battle of Greenbrier River the Battle of McDowell the Battle of Harpers Ferry the Battle of Champion Hill the Siege of Vicksburg the Atlanta Campaign the Battle of Jonesborough Sherman's March to the Sea the Carolinas Campaign and the Battle of Bentonville. The 32nd Ohio Infantry mustered out of service at Louisville Kentucky on July 20 1865.<br /> <br /> The Collection:<br /> <br /> The collection consists of 26 dairies dating from 1859 to 1866. Except for four volumes covering a period from 1856 to April 1861 and one covering the period September 18 1865 to December 5 1866 the remaining dairies 21 volumes span his entire Civil War career in the 32nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry covering the period September 3 1861 the date of his enlistment to the date of his mustering out of the service on July 20 1865. The diaries of various sizes average approximately 100 pages with few blank pages.<br /> <br /> His daily entries in his Civil War diaries many of which are detailed consist of descriptions of the weather diet geographical locations his devotion to the Union camp activities military news and description of engagements. He also included several drawings in the diaries some in color. He described his day of enlistment of September 3:<br /> <br /> "Enlisted at Lewis Center between 8 and 9 oclock in Captain Dyre's company of 3 years volunteers. I bid good bye to all my folks and started having resolved to assist in sustaining the Government. But the feelings which came over me when I left home friends and all that seemed dear to me I cannot describe."<br /> <br /> The new enlistees moved to Camp Dennison and Smith records the daily activities in camp as his company prepared for their first movement. From Camp Dennison the 32nd Ohio was ordered to western Virginia present-day West Virginia to assist in driving Confederate forces out of the region. On October 3 1861 the 32nd Ohio participated in the inconclusive Battle of Greenbrier River. Smith records in his diary beginning on September 29 through October 3:<br /> <br /> 

"In the evening we received orders to march to make an attack on Greenbrier about 12 miles distant. Our company numbered 86 men. Our regiment probably numbered 900 men present and able to perform duty. The 32nd. Went in advance and cleared out the road and took one prisoner. Our regiment stopped at the cross roads within four miles of Greenbrier and stopped. We expected there that the battle commenced. but they Confederate troops did not come and we. crept into the thick laurel bushes to lay till morning. When I awoke it was daylight and other regiments were passing. The artillery was hurrying along as fast as possible each gun was drawn by six horses and about nine oclock the canons began to roar. It was kept up till two oclock on both sides when our communication failed and our men withdrew from the field without losing any guns. The canons roared very loud and the sound rolled over the Mountains and valleys and made everything ring once more. Our loss was including those that were killed on the field and those that died of wounds after the battle about 12 men. We took 13 prisoners."
<br /> <br /> Smith describes an engagement with Confederate forces around Beverly Virginia on December 18 1861:<br /> <br /> "The rebels came out and met our forces and a bloody fight ensued. The 32nd fought bravely and drove the enemy back. The 25th were in the advance and were cut up dreadfully. They fell back and the 32nd stood their ground and fought them like tigers. Our men made two or three gallant charges and drove them out of their entrenchments and were forced out themselves. Our boys could not drive them out again and after a desperate and bloody struggle our troops retreated. having lost about one hundred men."<br /> <br /> After spending the winter in Beverly Virginia the 32nd Ohio participated in the Shenandoah Campaign of 1862 where they engaged Stonewall Jackson's Confederate force at the Battle of McDowell Virginia on May 8 and were defeated. On that day Smith recorded the following:<br /> <br /> "We formed into line and gave three cheers to the cavalry and were waiting to welcome the infantry when a dispatch came for us to report immediately at headquarters armed and equipped. We went forthwith and formed into line of battle on an open field. The rebels came down on the hills & tried to pick a spot to plant a gun and our boys threw shell amongst and drove them out. The rebels gathered on a mountain at the right of town about 4000 men. Our boys did not find out what they were at or where they were till late in the afternoon. Two regiments went up the mountain and the ball was opened. The battle lasted till after 8 oclock at night when our boys withdrew bringing the wounded and mostly all the dead from the field. The fight lasted about 4 hours."<br /> <br /> The 32nd Ohio retreated to Franklin Virginia where they joined General John C. Fremont's command. Fremont followed the Confederates into the valley and engaged a Confederate force at Cross Keys Virginia on June 8 1862 but Smith's company did not participate in the action. The 32nd Ohio move on to Winchester Virginia where they performed garrison duty for the remainder of the summer.<br /> <br /> In September 1862 the 32nd Ohio was dispatched to Harper's Ferry. The regiment again faced Stonewall Jackson participating in the Battle of Harper's Ferry September 12-15 1862. In this engagement Jackson captured the town and nearly twelve thousand Union soldiers including the 32nd Ohio subsequently paroling them after confiscating their supplies. In his entry for September 15 Smith describes the last day of the battle:<br /> <br /> "At sunrise the ball opened with a heavy cannonade from both sides. Our men were nearly out of ammunition for artillery and the enemy was mowing down our ranks. The shells and shot came down like hail all around and amongst us and many of our officers and soldiers were mortally wounded. Our artillerists run out of ammunition and there was no other way for us to do than surrender or be slaughtered on the field. At about 8 oclock the stripes and stars were hauled down and the white flag waved as a signal for surrender. The rebel cavalry and officers were soon riding through our camp. They hoisted the bars and stars where an hour before our glorious old star spangled banner floated proudly in the breeze. O how my heart beat and my bosom heaved to see that corrupt flag raised in defiance over us."<br /> <br /> The surrender of the 32nd Ohio resulted in a revolt in the ranks of the enlisted men against the regiment's officers which Smith later discusses in a January 15 1863 entry in his diary stating: "we were obliged to surrender 11500 men to the Rebels General A.P. Hill. It was the opinion of nearly all of our men that Colonel Miles of Baltimore betrayed us into the hands of the Rebels. It was said that he got 15 cents per head for us. Our Col Thomas H. Ford was examined by a committee and dismissed from the service for blame that was unjustly laid against him for the evacuation of the Maryland Heights. Since we were paroled a hard feeling was created between the officers of the regiment." Smith and his regiment eventually rejoined General Ulysses Grant's Army of the Tennessee in Memphis on January 25 1863. The regiment was involved in Grant's Siege of Vicksburg beginning in April 1863.<br /> <br /> A pivotal engagement in Grant's Vicksburg Campaign was the Battle of Champion Hill which occurred on May 16 resulting in a Union victory. Smith's entry for that day records the fighting:<br /> <br /> "A battle had begun on the left the firing seemed to be from large guns and the line seemed to be several miles long. We halted to await orders. Soon they came & we went forward & laid behind a ridge where we could see the fighting. The scene was grand but terrible. The heavy fighting was on the left & center at first. Our brigade charged on a rebel battery and took it & hauled it off. The 32nd did a noble part charging on the hills & ravines and out the battery driving the enemy before them killing a large number."<br /> <br /> The siege of Vicksburg ended on July 4 1863 when the Confederate forces surrendered and the Union troops under Grant including the 32nd Ohio entered the city. Smith recorded the events of July 3 and 4 in his diary. On July 3 he wrote: "This is the 46th day of the Siege. The rebels have sustained at this place and nobly and bravely have they defended it but General Grant has been too much for them." The next day's entry detailed the surrender. "At nine oclock it was announced that Vicksburg was surrendered. What a thrill of joy ran through every heart. The boys all seem lively and jubilant over the success which has crowned our arms. At half past ten oclock the rebels march out of their forts and rifle pits. and form in line outside their works and stuck arms."<br /> <br /> After Vicksburg the 32nd Ohio joined an expedition to Monroe Louisiana and then participated in General James McPherson's expedition to Brownsville Mississippi. In addition to his daily entries Smith also drew a number of pencil and ink sketches that reflected what he described in on a particular day such as sketching images that depicted the sleeping arrangements in the soldiers' tents maps of terrains and a two-page spread showing the capture of a Confederate battery in Mississippi. He also wrote down poems whether written by him or others. For example on January 31 1864 he added a six-stanza poem possibly written by him entitled "Evening Thoughts" to that day's entry. A partial transcription reads: "I'm weary and I'm lonely//As I'm sitting in my tent//And I'll take my leaden pencil//And give you my feelings sent// O would this war be over//And these bloody strivings cease//And our country now distracted//Return with lasting peace."<br /> <br /> In February 3 to March 6 1864 the 32nd Ohio was involved in General William T. Sherman's Meridian Expedition which resulted in the capture of Meridian Mississippi. On March 3 Smith recorded a diary entry that detailed the destruction rendered by the campaign:<br /> <br /> "I cannot fully give the amount of damage done to the Southern Confederacy while on this Expedition but the result foots up about as follows. About 200 miles of railroad running east & west was destroyed. About 60 miles of the Mobile and Ohio railroad was destroyed and about 40 miles of the Central Mississippi road destroyed. There were about 25 Locomotives and a considerable number of cars together with Confederate railroad houses machine shops and foundries manufacturing establishments of arms ammunition. A large amount of cotton was burned."<br /> <br /> On June 10 1864 the 32nd Ohio joined Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. In the campaign the 32nd fought in the Battles of Kennesaw Mountain Atlanta Ezra Church and Jonesborough. The campaign ended on September 2 1864 when Union forces occupied Atlanta. Smith's diary entry for June 27 mentions the engagement at Kennesaw Mountain:<br /> <br /> "We were aroused at early dawn. and then ordered to pile our knapsacks and be ready to move. A battery had been brought up and was shelling the Rebels lively for a while. Our division having formed a line of battle came to a right shoulder shift arms and then we advanced in line through the woods toward the enemy. The skirmishers engaged the enemy who replied by volleys of musketry which whizzed overhead and sounded hideous. The rebels brought several batteries down and opened upon us. Moved up a little higher and laid down again and the rebels opened with shot and shell which came whizzing overhead. Some of them sung like an old spinning wheel under the control of a northern farmer's wife. Our loss in this engagement was considerable. We fell back learning that the rebels were massing their force to right and formed a new line of battle in front of our new breastworks and behind the skirmishers. Skirmishing was kept up lively along the lines and many had hair breadth escapes. We made our demonstration to draw as much rebel force away from the right as possible."<br /> <br /> His diary entry for September 3 1864 reported the good news concerning the fall of Atlanta:<br /> <br /> "Atlanta was evacuated yesterday morning at daylight the rebels having blown up large magazines of ammunition destroyed government stores and eighty carloads of ammunition. The Twentieth Corps under General Slocum marched into and took possession of the city of Atlanta an eleven oclock. We have last caused the rebels to evacuate what they called the 'Gate City' or 'Key' to the southern Confederacy and that without a very general battle. The rebels have made many boasting speeches and declared that they would fight for Atlanta till the last man woman and child was sacrificed before they would give it up. Where is their vain boasting where are their prophesies"<br /> <br /> The capture of Atlanta had a major impact on the presidential election of 1864 and helped President Lincoln's chances for reelection enormously. On election day November 8 the 32nd Ohio voted in the field. Smith's diary entry for the day reads "This being election day the polls were opened and we voted for President. Abe Lincoln carried the day."<br /> <br /> In mid-November 1864 the 32nd Ohio participated in General Sherman's "March to the Sea." The command engaged in no noteworthy battles or skirmishes until reaching Savannah Georgia. On December 10 1864 the regiment was among the lead Northern units that drove the Confederate garrison into the confines of city. Upon the Union Army's capture of Savannah on December 21 1864 the 32nd entered and encamped in the city.<br /> <br /> Within a week of the fall of Richmond the capital city of the Confederacy the news of President Lincoln's assassination and death on April 15 spread slowly to the soldiers in the south including the 32nd Ohio. On Monday April 17 Smith recorded in his diary:<br /> <br /> "An order said to have come from Secretary Stanton to General Howard was announced to the soldiers. That President Lincoln Secretary Seward and son were assassinated and that the President was killed. Whether this be true or not it caused sadness in many hearts and was believed to be reliable."<br /> <br /> The next day's entry was in response to the confirmation that Lincoln was dead:<br /> <br /> "News of the death of our President Abraham Lincoln causes a gloom over our minds. We feel that in losing him we have lost one of the best men our nation ever produced. In losing him we lose a wise and intelligent statesman a great and good counsellor a lover of freedom and humanity and the deliverer of our nation from the curse of slavery."<br /> <br /> In addition to the dairies there are several documents and papers relating to Smith and his family including the following:

‎Civiltà delle macchine [1956 - 1957 - 1970 - 1971 - 1972 - 1976 - 1977 - 1979]‎

‎Edizione originale. Tutto il pubblicato degli anni 1956 - 1957 - 1970 - 1971 - 1972 - 1976 - 1977 e 1979. Esemplari in ottime condizioni (da segnalare solo nel numero doppio 3 - 4 del del 1971 il parziale distacco del piatto anteriore della brossura), con occasionali e rare abrasioni al dorso dei fascicoli. Rivista bimestrale fondata nel 1953 dal poeta Leonardo Sinisgalli – che l’avrebbe diretta nei suoi primi cinque anni di vita - per conto di Finmeccanica. Ispirata al «Politecnico – Repertorio di studi applicati alla prosperità e coltura sociale» di Cattaneo, esattamente come il periodico milanese nato nel 1839 «Civiltà delle macchine» si proponeva di riunire cultura scientifica e tecnologica e cultura umanistica, così da favorire uno sviluppo pieno – e armoniosamente organizzato – dei lettori. Numerosi furono gli esponenti di rilievo del mondo letterario, artistico, filosofico e, ovviamente, scientifico ed economico che collaborarono alla rivista nei suoi 26 anni di vita: basterebbe qui ricordare Ungaretti (presente nel numero inaugurale), Moravia, Gadda, Dorfles, Paci, Levi-Montalcini, e poi ancora l’economista Oskar Morgenstern che, da Princeton, scriveva nel 1964 al nuovo direttore Francesco Flores d’Arcais: «Da un po’ di tempo a questa parte ricevo “Civiltà delle macchine” […]. Non conosco nessun’altra rivista che unisca così bene arte e scienza. Continui l’ottimo lavoro». E in effetti comune e importante fu lo sforzo dei suoi ideatori e dei contributori affinché si riunissero ambiti del pensiero e della conoscenza umane ormai fatalmente separati in un tempo che guardava – e che ancora guarda – con sospetto non sempre ragionevole al progresso tecnico-scientifico. Da segnalare infine le bellissime copertine – spesso realizzate con disegni originali da artisti diversi (tra i tanti: Severini, Vedova, Tamburi, Zadkine) – e la grafica curatissima che caratterizzarono l’intera storia di «Civiltà delle macchine».

Nella loro villa a Versailles (Villa Romaine) prende a riunirsi un circolo di intellettuali e poeti tra i quali spiccano Jean Paulhan, Saint-John Perse e Paul Valéry. Quest’ultimo una domenica propone: «Porquoi ne continuerons-nous pas nos réunions en publiant, en revue, nos dialogues? Comme titre, je suggère “Commerce”, commerce des idées» (cit. in J.L. Brown in «Books Abroad» 47:2, 1973: 307). Valéry viene affiancato da Léon-Paul Fargue e Valery Larbaud; Paulhan, che lavorava nella redazione della «N.R.F.», fornirà un ampio bacino di opere a cui attingere, mentre Saint-John Perse sarà il principale consulente per la poesia. -- La rivista si pubblicò in uno splendido formato quaderno, su carte di pregio in barbe, con impaginazione aurea ed elegantissima, in tiratura numerata in tre serie varianti secondo il più raffinato gusto francese. I primi quattro volumi, che coprono il periodo 1924-1925, impostano subito il tono della rivista, che pubblicò principalmente opere originali, accanto a brillanti ripescaggi e raffinate traduzioni d’autore che introdussero per la prima volta in francese testi precedentemente non disponibili. Nel primo volume la scena è dominata dall’anteprima assoluta di alcuni «Fragments» della mitica traduzione Larbaud / Morel dell’«Ulysses», la prima mai realizzata in qualsiasi lingua. Nel secondo volume si trovano le poesie di Rainer Maria Rilke — scelto come referente della rivista per l’area germanofona fino alla prematura morte alla fine del 1926 — e «Une vague de rêve» di Louis Aragon, primo dei surrealisti a comparire sulle pagine di una rivista che, seppure di diversa area, non mancò mai di offrire adeguato spazio alla qualità delle varie correnti dell’intellettualità contemporanea europea. -- Il terzo volume è destinato all’esordio di T.S. Eliot sulle pagine della rivista, alla quale il maggiore poeta anglofono del Novecento riserverà l’edizione originale di alcune delle sue migliori creazioni del periodo 1929-1930: qui la prima parte del celebre «The Hollow Men» (Gallup Cl58, apparirà in libro in forma completa l’anno successivo); nei volumi 15 (primavera 1928) e 21 (autunno 1929) è la volta delle edizioni originali di «Ash Wednesday» parte I (Perch’io non spero…, Gallup C253) e parte III (Som de l’Escalina, Gallup C294), pubblicate in libro nel marzo 1930; infine nel volume 29 e ultimo (inverno 1929) appare per la prima volta a stampa «Difficulties of a Stateman» (Gallup C327), raccolto in libro solo nel 1936. Oltre a Eliot, sulle pagine di «Commerce» si trovano le poesie originali di Archibald MacLeish (vol. 5, autunno 1925, «Train-Stop», «Night» e «Pastoral»; vol. 12, estate 1927, «Return» e «Gobi»), «Felling a Tree» di Thomas Hardy nel volume 14, inverno 1927 (poi pubblicata come «Throwing a Tree» nel postumo «Winter Words», 1928: lo scrittore sarebbe morto nel gennaio ’28), Roy Campbell nel numero 18, inverno 1928 («The Gum Tree» e «The Palm»), e in traduzione francese un’anteprima del tutto inedita di «To the Lighthouse» di Virginia Woolf («Time Passes», volume 10, inverno 1926, tradotto da Charles Mauron: è la prima volta di Woolf in francese) e uno dei più bei racconti di William Faulkner, «A Rose for Emily», appena uscito nella raccolta «These Thirteen», settembre 1931, e tradotto nell’ultimo numero di «Commerce» da Maurice-Edgar Coindreau.  -- Stupisce nel quarto volume l’apertura dedicata alla poesia visuale di Paul Claudel «Vieillard sur le Mont Omi», impaginata su un foglio 345 x 500 mm più volte ripiegato, «dont la mise en page est tout à fait originale dans l’histoire des formes du texte visuel des années 20 et du XXe siècle en général. Entre poème et recueil, entre affiche et codex, mais aussi entre avant-garde et influence extrême-orientale, le “Vieillard sur le Mont Omi” est un object aux contours changeants qui, certainement de ce fait, a été ignoré par les spécialistes du texte spatialisé français» (S. Lesiewicz in Bulletin de la Société Paul Claudel no. 219, 2016: 11). Ma il quarto volume è consacrato soprattutto a una corposa anteprima di quello che sarà il secondo libro di versi di Giuseppe Ungaretti, «Sentimento del tempo»: «Appunti per una poesia», sezione poetica poi continuata nel volume 12 (estate 1927). E ancora Ungaretti tradurrà per «Commerce» i «Pensieri» di Leopardi (vol. 14) mentre Crémieux aveva tradotto tre liriche leopardiane proprio nel volume quarto (L’infinito; Sabato del villaggio; A se stesso), a suggerire una stretta parentela tra il più grande poeta italiano dell’Ottocento e uno dei maggiori poeti novecenteschi. -- I 29 volumi di «Commerce» ospitano numerose altre primizie, quali la prima edizione francese delle conferenze “greche” di Nietzsche, in tedesco (Das griechische Musikdrama, vol. 10; Sokrates und die Tragödie, vol. 12) con traduzione a specchio di Jean Paulhan; poesie di Osip Mandelstam e Boris Pasternak (e sono le prime traduzioni in altra lingua tout court); l’esordio di Jean Giono «Colline»; l’«Œdipe» di André Gide; «Erstes Leid» di Franz Kafka; i «Poèmes de Morven le Gaëlique» di Max Jacob, unica edizione in vita; i «Fragments d’un journal d’enfer» di Antonin Artaud; «Le Jeune européen» di Pierre Drieu La Rochelle; i numerosi capolavori di Paul Valéry (tra cui le sue traduzioni dei «Marginalia» di Edgar Poe), Saint-John Perse, Jean Paulhan e Valery Larbaud.

‎[Critica]‎

‎La Critica‎

‎Fondata e diretta da B. Croce per tutto l'arco di tempo in cui vide la luce, tantochè Renato Serra parlerà della Critica come di una «rivista persona, che esprime solo e sempre un uomo». Uscì per 42 anni consecutivi (1903-1944) al ritmo di sei fascicoli all'anno (formato in 8°) senza subire mai alcuna interruzione. Editore Vecchi fino al 1906, e in seguito per i tipi Laterza. Secondo il programma i campi di intervento della rivista dovevano essere la ricostruzione della produzione storica, filosofica e letteraria degli ultimi decenni e l'analisi critica della produzione libraria contemporanea, da perseguire secondo le direttive di metodo della filosofia idealista. Sulle sue pagine apparvero la maggior parte dei saggi di Croce che vennero poi raccolti in vari volumi dallo stesso autore. Per molti anni collaboratore assiduo fu G. Gentile, ma il sodalizio cessò con l'adesione di quest'ultimo al fascismo. Altri collaboratori furono A. Omodeo, G. De Ruggiero, F. Nicolini, L. Russo, K. Vossler. Disponiamo delle seguenti annate complete a fascicoli sciolti: 1912-1914-1917-1920-1923-1925-1927-1928-1930-1933-1934-1935-1937-1939-1940. Il prezzo s'intende ad annata.‎

‎[DADA; Tristan Tzara, Marcel Janco, Francis Picabia, Hans Arp]‎

‎Dada 4-5 [in copertina: Anthologie Dada. Paruit sous la direction de Tristan Tzara]‎

‎Edizione originale, emissione in francese. Esemplare integro e pulito in più che buone condizioni di conservazione (piccola lieve gora all’angolo interno alto, appena visibile sulla copertina superiore e su un paio di pagine interne; poche fioriture al taglio alto di alcune carte [1/2, 5/6, 13/14, 19/20, 27/28, 31/32], che sono anche un po’ brunite; minima lacerazione senza perdite al piede interno dell’ultima carta). Ultima uscita zurighese della rivista «Dada», fondata e diretta da Tristan Tzara a partire dal 1917 (nn. 1-2, seguiti dal n. 3 nel 1918). Sarà continuata a Parigi per altre due uscite fino al marzo 1920, per poi chiudere definitivamente. Straordinario numero doppio, ricchissimo di contenuti impaginati assai creativamente — su falsariga futurista — su carte di vario colore e con ampio uso di tipografia sperimentale e parolibera, non a caso chiamato «Anthologie Dada» in copertina. Come il precedente numero della rivista, anche «Dada» 4/5 fu pubblicato in una versione tedesca e in una francese, che differiscono per sole nove pagine. L’emissione francese non presenta alcuni dei testi in tedesco, ma ha in più tre xilografie di Arp non presenti nell’emissione tedesca, per un totale di sette incisioni (sei a mezza pagina e una testatina) stampate su carta colorata. Completano il notevolissimo apparato iconografico di questo numero tre litografie a piena pagina da disegni di Francis Picabia (tra i quali il «Réveil matin» al frontespizio), due litografie astrattiste a piena pagina di Viking Eggeling, una xilografia a mezza pagina di Hans Richter e due xilografie a mezza pagina di Raul Hausmann (per tacere delle tavole patinate applicate che riproducono opere di Augusto Giacometti, A. van Rees, Hans Richter, Vassilij Kandinskij, Arp e Paul Klee). Sul versante dei contenuti, alcune poesie e un «Autre petit manifeste» di Picabia sono seguiti da Tristan Tzara (Note 14 sur la poésie; Proclamation sans prétention DADA 1919; Aa 24 IX; Bilan), Jean Cocteau (3 pièces facile pour petites mains), Pierre Reverdy (Globe; 199 Cs), Philippe Soupault (Servitudes), Louis Aragon (Statue; Le délire du fantassin – dedicata a De Chirico), André Breton (Pour Lafcadio), Raymond Rediguet (A plusieures voix), Pierre Albert-Birot (Catastrophe; Extrait de «Poèmes à la chair»), Georges Ribemont Dessaignes (Le coq fou; Trombone à coulisse), Gabrielle Buffet (Gambit de la reine), J.

‎[Diary] [Women's Social History] Catherine Harrison Squibb‎

‎An heiress grows into womanhood in a changing world documenting five years of her life in the US and Europe‎

‎US Germany 1911. Red cloth over card with gilt to front board. All edges stained read. Measuring 200 x 170mm and containing 186 handwritten pages across five years. Dried flowers and theatre program loosely inserted at front. Ownership signature and bookplate of Catherine Harrison Squibb to front pastedown and endpaper with signature of the same to rear endpaper. A research rich and densely written diary the present would be useful in fields including but not limited to intergenerational wealth and its relationship to emotional abuse women's education and educational travel early 20th century reading habits modern friendship courtship and romance and women's increased mobility and travel.<br /> <br /> The second daughter of Charles Fellow Squibb himself the second son of pharmaceutical boss Dr. E. R. Squibb Catherine Harrison Squibb was raised in economic privilege. Her earliest years were spent in the Brooklyn townhouse built for her parents by her grandfather while her teen years were split between her father's historic estate of Welwood and her boarding school in Dresden. At Welwood Charles always considered as "the lesser son" according to his E.R.'s journals followed in his father's controlling footsteps by "purchasing polo ponies setting about learning to jump" and "insisting his children do the same.to maintain the lifestyle of the landed gentry" Belcher. This is confirmed in the opening entry of the diary October 25 1906 near Catherine's 16th birthday where she reports "I rode side-saddle with Rosalie in the morning.rode again in the afternoon ist richerverlobt! er est 62 --- alt!!" The numerous rides do not seem to entirely please Catherine as she hides her frustration in the German parenthetical roughly "he is engaged to be a judge! he is 62 years old!!". Three days later on her birthday she spends her time significantly differently clowning with her brother and aunt and "playing tennis in the afternoon." This becomes something of a tradition as her birthday entries report several times "played tennis all afternoon" She also notes her time in French and German lessons -- with German becoming more frequent during and after her time at school in Dresden especially when she wants to obfuscate her thoughts from unwanted readers. <br /> <br /> If this diary is any indication music and reading travel and school became refuges for Catherine. And she claimed as much time as she could to find independence and develop herself outside of Charles' strict rules. Her reading preferences reflect this desire to immerse herself in Jane Austen's world of social visits and balls where family conflict is eventually smoothed by a woman's exit to a loving partner and home of her own. "Good day!" she writes on April 29 1908 "Stayed in bed all day. I finished Pride & Prejudice and began Emma." This is contrast against her reaction to Charlotte Bronte's work on May 1 of the same year: "Cold & windy. We came in on the 9.30. Aunts at Welwood.had music lesson.I began Jane Eyre. Dismal book!" Her tone and word choice reflect the most happiness in these circumstances whereas riding is reported like a duty -- she may report what time of day and what horse but no expressions of joy accompany them. <br /> <br /> While the diary concludes in 1911 when Catherine is 21 we know that she would return to Europe from 1917-1919 as a nurse in WWI watching her own country battle her beloved Germany. Within the time her father had sold his birthright in Squibb and with "his extravagant lifestyle eating through his money quickly.he was forced to sell Welwood.not long thereafter he went to France" and never returned to the US Belcher. In 1920 she would marry veteran and shoe manufacturing foreman Raymond Pratt moving with him to Pasadena California and becoming a civic leader.<br /> <br /> Much deeper work can be done on Catherine's lives and relationships especially considering the current cultural trends of novels films and series depicting both the glamour and the emotional squalor of the 1%. unknown‎
