GARRISON, SIDNEY H
1903 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND OBSERVATIONS JOURNAL HANDWRITTEN BY THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER OF ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS ICONS OF CANADA AND THE MARITIME PROVINCES
PEGGY'S COVE NOVA SCOTIA NS CANADA. Good. 1903. On offer is a superb Peggy's Cove Lighthouse manuscript ledger book issued to and kept by Lighthouse Keeper Sidney H. Garrison from January to December 1903. The pre-printed journal was published by the Canadian Dept. of Marine and Fisheries specifically for use by the Lighthouse Service. A page for each month consists of a form where the lighthouse keeper noted the date weather time of lighting extinguishing total burning time and the amount of oil chimneys and wicks used along with general remarks. This diary pertains to the original lighthouse which eventually succumbed to the elements in 1914 causing it to be rebuilt. The lighthouse at Peggy's Cove remains one of the most iconic coastal landmarks in North America since 1766. The folio sized book is filled with one year's worth of lighthouse data and/or observations for all twelve months of 1903 have been completed in this diary revealing lighthouse keeper Garrison's various observations and insights over the course of a full year. Entries range from day-today remarks to critiques of his predecessor and concerns regarding the condition of the lighthouse. Day-to-day entries include: "Heavy Sea" "Very Heavy Sea" "Birds Flying" "Very Smooth" "Stormy Night" "Ship Passed Out" "Steamer Passed Out" "Winds Blowing Heavy" "First Birds" "Mackerel Schooling" "Heavy Storm" "Heavy Gale" "Bad Weather" "Coldest Night" etc. Lighthouse keeper Garrison's more elaborate "Report" notes include: "On the 17th inst. I put the spare lamp which was standing idle in the light room in the lantern and timed it Leeward and I presume it will improve the light." Jan. 31st 1903. "I am receiving many congratulations for keeping a good light since I have taken charge of the station. The Light keepers on Green island Lunenburg Co. which is nine miles distant says my light has double the power it had under the late keeper" March 30th 1903. "I am in need of a new Book of rules and regulations for the guidance of Light House Keepers; the one left by the late Keeper is torn and dirty" April 30th 1903. "I have repaired up the old fence as well as possible until I get a new one which is badly needed. I have also cut and scraped lots of the old putty from around the Lantern glass which was cracked and shrunken thus causing it to leak and replaced it with new putty and paint and it is now thoroughly tight" June 30th 1903. HISTORICAL NOTES: One online source provides: "Peggy's Cove is one of the best known most popular lighthouses of Canada. The original Peggy's Cove Lighthouse was built in 1868. The present concrete tower built in 1914 is located just a few feet above the site of the old wooden structure which deteriorated and was destroyed." See: Julie S. Taff's "Lighthouses: A Photographic Tour" p. 29. Peggy's Cove is a small rural community located on the eastern shore of St. Margaret's Bay about 43 kilometres 26 miles southwest of downtown Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. It comprises one of the numerous small fishing communities located around the perimeter of the Chebucto Peninsula. The community is named after the cove of the same name a name also shared with Peggy's Point immediately to the east of the cove. The village marks the eastern point of St. Margaret's Bay. The first recorded name of the cove was Eastern Point Harbour or Peggs Harbour in 1766. The village is likely named after Saint Margaret's Bay Peggy being the nickname for Margaret which Samuel de Champlain named after his mother Margarite. There has been much folklore created to explain the name. One story suggests the village may have been named after the wife of an early settler. The popular legend claims that the name came from the sole survivor of a shipwreck at Halibut Rock near the cove. Artist and resident William deGarthe said she was a young woman while others claim she was a little girl too young to remember her name and the family who adopted her called her Peggy. The young shipwreck survivor married a resident of the cove and became known as "Peggy of the Cove" attracting visitors from around the bay who eventually named the village Peggy's Cove after her nickname. The village was formally founded in 1811 when the Province of Nova Scotia issued a land grant of more than 800 acres 3.2 km² to six families of German descent. The settlers relied on fishing as the mainstay of their economy but also farmed where the soil was fertile. They used surrounding lands to pasture cattle. In the early 1900s the population peaked at about 300. The community supported a schoolhouse church general store lobster cannery and boats of all sizes that were nestled in the Cove. Many artists and photographers flocked to Peggy's Cove. As roads improved the number of tourists increased. Today the population is smaller but Peggy's Cove remains an active fishing village and a favourite tourist destination. Peggy's Cove is one of the busiest tourist attractions in Nova Scotia and is a prime attraction on the Lighthouse Trail scenic drive. The community's famous lighthouse marks the eastern entrance of St. Margaret's Bay and is officially known as the Peggy's Point Lighthouse. Peggy's Cove has a classic red-and-white lighthouse still operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. The light station is situated on an extensive granite outcrop at Peggy's Point immediately south of the village and its cove. This lighthouse is one of the most-photographed structures in Atlantic Canada and one of the most recognizable lighthouses in the world. Visitors may explore the granite outcrop on Peggy's Point around the lighthouse; despite numerous signs warning of unpredictable surf including one on a bronze plaque on the lighthouse itself several incautious visitors each year are swept off the rocks by waves sometimes drowning. The first lighthouse at Peggy's Cove was built in 1868 and was a wooden house with a beacon on the roof. At sundown the keeper lit a kerosene oil lamp magnified by a catoptric reflector a silver-plated mirror creating the red beacon light marking the eastern entrance to St. Margaret's Bay. That lighthouse was replaced by the current structure an octagonal lighthouse which was built in 1914. It is made of reinforced concrete but retains the eight-sided shape of earlier generations of wooden light towers and stands almost 15 metres 50 ft high. The old wooden lighthouse became the keeper's dwelling and remained near to the current lighthouse until it was damaged by Hurricane Edna in 1954 and was removed. The lighthouse was automated in 1958. Since then the red light was changed to white light then to a green light in the late 1970s. Finally to conform to world standards the light was changed to red in 2007. The lighthouse used to contain a small Canada Post office in the lower level during the summer months serving as the village post office where visitors could send postcards and letters. Each piece of mail received a special cancellation mark in the shape of the lighthouse. However Canada Post closed the lighthouse post office in November 2009 citing mould growth as a safety hazard. The book is in original stiff marbled wraps with label pasted to front cover; moderate cover wear with tear to lower corner of back cover end pages toned generally clean internally with ink bold and legible throughout. Volume is complete save for some loss at the rear lower corner containing 26 pages of manuscript entries comprising all 12 months of 1903. Folio measures approx 13" tall x 8.25" wide.

GARY WARES
1970s FASCINATING ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HAND WRITTEN BY A YOUNG MAN DETERMINED TO BREAK INTO THE NEW YORK FASHION SCENE AND HIS EVENTUAL SUCCESS WITH ONE OF THE TITANS OF FASHION
NEW YORK NY. Good. 1973. On offer is a fascinating journal by a fashion insider in the hey-day of the New York fashion scene. This coil-bound notebook measures 9.5 inches by 6 inches and contains 154 pages 100% complete. The back cover has pulled away from the coil but otherwise the journal is in good condition. The entries are in pen and quite legible. Gary Wares was a 20 year old student of the Maryland Institute of Arts in 1973. As part of his graduation requirements he had to obtain a work-experience posting in his field - fashion design. This journal chronicles his efforts to find a placement and then the 7 weeks he spent working in the Fashion Design Department of Bill Blass Limited. Bill Blass was one of the top American fashion designers. The journal opens with this Seventh Avenue the heart of the US garment district and fashion industry is usually abbreviated by Wares as 'SA': "I have tried to keep as valid a record as possible. Names have not been changed to protect the innocent because as far as I am concerned no-one can be innocent and still survive on Seventh Avenue. . I will be as unbiased as possible in my essays on the people I met . In some ways this book will be an expose of SA . "Introduction. In reality it is no expose. More it reflects the challenges of a 20 year old trying to break into a fiercely competitive industry well-known as a cut-throat marketplace. But what it does reveal are the day-to-day workings of a highly successful couturier fashion house. By the time he retired in 1999 Blass had built his company into a $700 million dollar a year business. The first 50 pages detail Wares quest for a position. As many people know this can be a hard experience for anyone in any field. What makes this interesting is that Wares writes well and is very open and frank with his descriptions: "My day started early - 9 AM at Kiki Hart in 530 SA. I arrived on time and she wasn't in. They called her at home and told me she was on her way. I walked into the showroom and casually eyed the clothes. They were all suited to the older woman. Everything was made to be worn with a bra all covered up band not real expensive. I didn't know what type of woman to expect but Mrs. Hart was definitely not what I expected. She was an OLDER woman - in her 50's. I'd venture to guess very nervy very outspoken. She was looking at my work as a favor to a friend . told me her business was netting $6 million a year. A gross exaggeration I'm sure. . Obviously it's a line of bull that you must swallow & then forget ." Sept 13. For the next couple of weeks he made the rounds including Bill Blass Limited seeking a paid work experience position. Unsurprisingly there were none. At the suggestion of a friend he called those places back and said he would work for nothing. On Oct 5th he got called to Blass' office and was offered an unpaid work-study program. He made one more effort to secure a paid position interviewing with Bill Tice just when Tice was beginning his highly successful fashion design career. On Oct 10th he started a work week at Beene Bag owned by another famous fashion designer Geoffrey Beene: "Today I spent my first day at work on Seventh Avenue. It was more like fun than work. Beene Bag has a very free and friendly atmosphere. For me it was just like a day at the Institute. . Of course I also got introduced to everyone who worked there and the people at Nina Rici Boutique - it's on the same floor". Oct 10 The job only lasted till the end of the week and he decided to take the unpaid position at Blass. For the next seven weeks he details his day-to-day activities working for one of the great American fashion designers. He describes tasks such as: "organizing all the jewellery for the showings putting earrings together etc . the snakeskin rhinestones gold silver pearls etc. . After the jewellery I worked on shoes ." Oct 15. Much of his work entails getting ready for the many shows and exhibitions that Blass is involved in: "Today was my most exhilarating day. I spent the entire day at Bill's penthouse apartment overlooking the East River. Tom and I took 3 models and a photographer there to photograph some of the garments in the spring collection. We used Carla our showroom model Tasha an excellent model and Kitty Hawkes . the model we've all seen in Vogue and Bazaar. She's the girl in the Ritz ad. She's not very pleasant. . To tell the truth which I always do she's got a lousy figure. She's shaped like a pear. She's got some dumper
" Oct 26. He notes that Blass does not rely just on fashion shows and exhibitions for his sales. He writes that Blass has a team that criss-crosses the United States attending 'trunk shows' that "make" the business Nov 8 and that he has designed uniforms for organizations such as the U.S. Army and American Airlines Nov 29. Wares describes the in detail the preparations to take part in various exhibitions including one in Paris. He notes many design houses and people associated with them by name such as Stan Herman Pauline Trigere Vanity Fair St. Julian's and more. Individuals such as Debbi Reynolds and Liza Minnelli and Ricardo Montalbam's daughter Laura are mentioned as well. For a fashion writer or historian is an excellent window into the fashion industry. It is replete with the day to day details that make for a successful fashion business tinged with some of the gossip that brings these people and places alive.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 20TH CENTURY; 1970S; UNITED STATES; NEW YORK; FASHION DESIGN; FASHION INDUSTRY; 1970s FASHION; AMERICAN FASHION DESIGNERS; GARMENT INDUSTRY IN 1970s; 1970S FASHION MODELS; FASHION SHOWS IN 1970S; SEVENTH AVENUE; NEW YORK FASHION DISTRICT; GARY WARES; BILL BLASS; GEOFFREY BEENE; KIKI HART; BEENE BAG; NINA RICI; KITTY HAWKES; TASHA POLIZZI; DEBBIE REYNOLDS; LIZA MINNELLI; RICARDO MONTALBAN; BILL TICE; AMERICAN AIRLINES; MARYLAND INSTITUTE OF ARTS MICA; AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover
