[Lyon, Femmes enceintes, Promotion de l'allaitement, Beaumarchais] Institut de bienfaisance de Lyon - lot de 4 imprimés.
[Lyon, Femmes enceintes, Promotion de l'allaitement, Beaumarchais] Institut de bienfaisance de Lyon - lot de 4 imprimés. Lyon, Faucheux, 1784 & Lyon, Bruyset, 1784-1785. In-4, 12p. Très intéressant ensemble autour de la fondation de l'Institut de bienfaisance. Cet institut, fondé fin 1784 et actif de 1785 à 1790, aida 475 mères allaitantes dont seulement 16% des enfants sont morts alors que les enfants mis en nourrice mourraient dans 2/3 des cas. Il s'agissait d'apporter un secours financier aux mères afin qu'elles puissent allaiter. La révolution eut probablement raison de cette oeuvre financée par les notables. Nos documents sont donc : -un « troisième avis » aux femmes enceintes qui accoucheront en 1785 et voulant allaiter. Cet avis liste les noms des officiers et administrateurs dans chaque quartier (sd, permis d'imprimer du 24 décembre 1784). -La délibération des officiers en chef de la garde et milice bourgeoise actant la contribution de ceux-ci à l'oeuvre (22 décembre 1784). -Une instruction pour la formation des bureaux particuliers des quartiers de la ville (28 décembre 1784). -Le règlement provisoire de l'institut, signalant pourvoir déjà secourir 112 femmes à raison de 4 dans chacun des 28 quartiers et indiquant comment les choisir (sd, permis d'imprimer du 12 janvier 1785). C'est Beaumarchais qui avait proposé cette création le 4 août 1784. Très rare ensemble autour de cette oeuvre éphémère. [90]

[Marsh-Caldwell, Anne].
THE ROSE OF ASHURST.
pp. 133, (10) [Publisher's catalogue]. Very damp stain. Title page soiled with loss. Some margins and text torn. Double column. Penciled manuscript ownership of John Ashurst, Jr. August 15, 1857 on title page. 8vo. 240 mm. Disbound. Poor. The tale of the author, Ann Marsh-Caldwell (1791-1874) make as interesting reading as her novels. In 1817 Ann married Arthur Cuthbert Marsh, who initially had a considerable fortune, being the son of a banker. They lived together on his estate, Eastbury in Hertfordshire, near London. The estate was quite large and consisted of a mansion house surrounded by farm land. Their marriage was a happy one and they had eight children. However in 1824 the family banking firm of Marsh Stacey & Graham went bankrupt due to a fraud carried out by Henry Fauntleroy (one of the partners). in the early 1830s, a friend, Harriet Martineau, visited Ann and encouraged her to publish her first book Two old men's tales. This was published in 1834. Harriet noted that Arthur gave his permission for Ann to publish but only on the condition that she published anonymously. His reason being that if the book should be a failure then no one would know the name of the author. As it was the book was very successful and ran to a number of editions over a period of almost 30 years. Ann continued this success publishing one or two books every year. The success of Ann's books brought in much needed funds and Ann and Arthur were able to use some of this money to put their son Martin through Eton and then on to Oxford. In 1846 however, tragedy struck when Martin died suddenly at the age of 20 while on a tour of Greece. This devastating event was followed a few years later in 1849 by a further loss when Ann's husband Arthur also died. Shortly after this Ann sold the Marsh family estate of Eastbury and moved to much smaller house, Deacons in Surrey. ** PRICE JUST REDUCED!! AI BX 2

Guadalajara 1889. Very good. 214pp. plus folding plate. Later quarter calf and cloth boards stmaped in blind gilt lettered. Minor wear to boards. Contemporary ownership inscription on title page. Even tanning. An apparently unrecorded account of this Mexican women's charitable association operating in Guadalajara at the end of the 1880s. The group was made up of more than 4000 women whose goal was to raise money for the poor and ill of the city. According to the documents here they helped more than 2500 sick people in the year prior to their general meeting which took place in July 1889. All the positions in this association are occupied by women except for the general director with the canon lector in that role. The report is fronted by an edict from the Archbishop of Guadalajara calling the ladies' group "Una de las mas importantes Asociaciones de Caridad que had nacido y se han desarrollada en la Santa Iglesia" and approves eighty days of indulgence for each work of charity completed. At the rear is a folding plate that prints the finances and funds raised by local groups across the state. Not in OCLC. unknown

The climbs depicted in the album include Zigzag Mountain north of the Zigzag River Mt. St. Helens and Spirit Lake Mt. Hood Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier. together with 4 leaves pencil manuscript account of the group’s ascent of Mt. Jefferson in August 25-26 1934 supplemented with two issues of the 1934 The Winged “M†weekly.

Pettijohn & Co. letterhead order sheets as scrap paper minor creasing a few corrections still VG; 3rd -- 8vo. 4; 4 pp. minor toning offsetting to front of first issue edgewear still VG copies. This remarkable photo album written and assembled by Grace Lougheed chronicling the multiple mountaineering expeditions to peaks in the Cascade Mountains for the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club led by her husband L.S. Lougheed. “The first of our climbs for the summer of 1930†was Zigzag Mountain a 5007 foot peak considered a foothill of Mt. Hood and a popular hiking trail of about 8 miles with images of Loverne & Grace seated Loverne & Alden on one of the peaks and vistas of Mt. Hood in the distance. The couple followed this with trip and climb on Mt. St. Helens ascents of Mt. Hood from the South and North Sides with trails marked on the RPPC cards and noting that “Left Cloud Cap Inn at 2:40 AM reached top at noon. Very hard climb -- logs of rocks falling†with views glaciers on Mt. Hood and climbers in deep snow in August. In March 1931 they return to a climb on Mt. St. Helens with views across the crater from their cabin at the summit and crevasses they nearly fell into. In August 1931 they make ascent on Mt. Adams noting that they “left Cold Springs Camp at 2:40 AM arrived back at camp 5:20 PM went part of the way with a party of Crag Rats from Hood River†including photo of Grace seated with Joe & Loverne resting on the climb. August 31-Sept. 21 1931 illustrates climbs to Illumination Rock at the Summit rim on the Reid Glacier Ansel Rock Zigzag Glacier and finally Elliot Glacier at the last. In October they return for more climbs on Mt. Hood recording first new snow the summit cabin the Timberline Cabin in January 1931 with photo of the cabin interior. The first climb Jan. 11 1931 shows image of Ole Lien Al Builmore Don Hampton & Jim Harlan on the slopes above Government Camp. Their ascent of Mt. Rainier was undertaken from July 4-5 1931 with views near Anvil Rock and the summit at Camp Muir Gibraltar Rock and views of the Tatoosh Range. The final climb documented in the album was a climb to Eliot Glacier up the Sunshine Route which follows the lower aspects of the Cooper Spur Route and then climb toward Cathedral Ridge. The Climb up Mt. Jefferson is announced for MAAC members in The Winged “M†August 17 1934 with announcement that this would be the fourth climb of the year for the club whereas the pencil manuscript specifically notes that the Jefferson climb was the fifth in the series scheduled. Loverne writes that eleven people including the only woman Grace chose to go and that after leaving “Wapinitia Cut-Off eleven miles past Government Camp and turning down into the Oregon Skyline Trail we had a beautiful drive in the moonlight. The silvery light made the forest and meadows look like a fairyland with a lake now and then. . . at times we turned the car lights off and drove down the long forest road with just the bright moonlight shining through the trees.†The next day just as the sun was getting bright they were “ready for our trek of seven miles into Jefferson Park. Everyone was packed pretty heavily. . . and now and then we ran into bear tracks -- before we realized it we were came to the rim of Jefferson Park. Here the scene that is before one can hardly be put into words. . . the mountain with its pinnacles and great rought sic contours. The great bergschruds and crevasses shining in the sun made us all thrill to the sight.†They began the climb at midnight crossed ice fields hundreds of crevasses and reached the summit with Jay Oliver and Melwood Howlett. After their return climb down the mountain an hour before dark they packed out for the return of seven miles to the cars parked at Breitenbush Lake “a trip which was rather punishing after sixteen miles of steady climbing up the mountain & Back.†Grace Lougheed b. 1901 appears to have married Loverne Lougheed sometime in the late 1920s first appearing in Portland City directories in 1928 but we were unable to uncover her whereabouts after 1934. Loverne Lougheed 1902-1978 was a Canadian-American whose father Ormand Lougheed b. 1878 owned and operated a very successful sawmill and logging saw filing operation in Portland on Denver and later Union Ave. for decades. Loverne appears as Vice President of the O.J. Lougheed & Son until after World War II when his third wife Janet Lougheed is listed as a widow in 1948 but then he reappears returning from California and appearing in directory listings by the 1950s.

The Indian Rights Association which initially formed and adopted the paternalistic assimilationist views advocating tribal members be detribalized to increase economic and social status was still the first non-governmental organization to push for support of Native Americans and also exposed frequent abuses by federal government and local government employees.

[New England – Gilded Age – Women] Coolidge, Alice Brackett White
My Early Reminiscences / Alice B Coolidge 1926
Quincy Massachusetts: unpublished 1926. 201 pp cardstock wraps. Normal wear to wraps; overall Near Fine. Alice Brackett White Coolidge 1864–1927 was a Boston socialite of the prominent Richardson family; her grandfather was merchant and Massachusetts State Legislator Jeffrey Richardson. Coolidge was also the author of three children’s books: The Bunnies of Evergreen Village 1917 The Refugees in Evergreen Village 1918 and Evergreen Village to the Rescue 1922. Offered here is Coolidge’s unpublished memoir of her early life written in 1926 titled My Early Reminiscences.<br /> <br /> The memoir recalls Coolidge’s childhood and teen years spent mainly in Massachusetts New Hampshire and Maine. Her recollections typically involve extensive descriptions of the houses at which her family stayed the scenery around them and the various families they met and visited with. Given her position in society her acquaintances are sometimes quite influential people: Princeton president John Grier Hibben enjoys Coolidge’s fishcakes; Trinity Church rector Phillips Brooks gives her grandfather an “excellent pew†in the newly-finished church; pioneering doctor Alfred Worcester mistakes red pepper for mercury in a scientific demonstration at her school; and she recalls brief correspondences with John Greenleaf Whittier and William James.<br /> <br /> Coolidge also took dance lessons from Augustus Papanti whom she describes as “one of the thinnest men I ever saw†who was “very melancholy. I hardly remember his ever smilingâ€; and remembers Judge Charles Devens for “his great stature his charming face his courtliness of manner and his really boyish simplicity in entering into our evening games†including a game of “mind reading†which Devens played “with zest.â€<br /> <br /> One of her longtime friends was Rear Admiral John E. Pillsbury. She recalls:<br /> <br /> “Mr. Pillsbury as a young naval man a brother-in-law of my uncle Dr. Richardson used to take me out in the swan-boats on the Public Garden Pond. Later he went through all the ranks up to being retired as a Rear Admiral but time and circumstances never changed him. We always met at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and always talked at great length. . He was a wonderfully interesting lovable man and very modest and unassuming and shy. I always considered him one of my best friends though older by many years than I.â€<br /> <br /> Another interesting New England figure Coolidge encountered was Joseph Lee. She describes Lee’s hotel in Newton:<br /> <br /> “The house where we stayed was kept by a remarkable man named Joseph Lee. He was a mulatto much above many of his kind and his wife was a handsome woman partly Indian. They did the cooking and he waited on table with a colored maid to help him. In fact there were no white women in the house. The cooking was delicious.â€<br /> <br /> Lee was born enslaved in South Carolina freed in 1865 and went on to invent the automatic bread kneading and bread crumbing machines.<br /> <br /> Though nearly all of her childhood was spent in New England she also remembers being invited to visit Charles Joseph Bonaparte in Baltimore:<br /> <br /> “We had never been so far south except to Washington and I felt a curious feeling of being in a different atmosphere from any I had known. . We were met at the station by Mrs. Bonaparte in a large roomy covered vehicle with two horses. The coachman and footman were in the Bonaparte colors -- a deep wine color. The footman I well remember. He was a light-colored young negro very handsome and smiling and excited over having young ladies from the North. . All the servants were colored and lived in cabins near the house. . I never knew Mr. Bonaparte in public life so my memories of him are quite intimate and I fancy I saw much of his real self. . His mind was very active. He used to talk or listen as he walked and he moved his head in a curious way from one side to the other with a slightly rolling motion which was distinctly individual. . I never saw him irritated or excited and he was always very simple. In the group picture we had taken at the Maplewood he sat down cross-legged on the piazza floor like a boy. That was in about 1887. I suppose in public life or in law he was different but he was very equable and charming as we met him in his home and at the mountains. Most of all I admired his sweet tender ways with his flower-like wife.â€<br /> <br /> This was not too long after the end of Reconstruction and Coolidge remarks on the tense atmosphere:<br /> <br /> “Mrs. Bonaparte had warned me to be careful about questions regarding the North and South as the ‘feeling’ had not yet died away. I was so glad she had warned me. A gentleman slipped in and sat down beside me to watch a parade and whispered in my ear as the bands had been playing ‘Dixie’ how glad he was to meet a Northerner. I was glad to meet him too although I remember neither his name nor face but I felt I breathed freer in his sympathetic locality. . I had no idea that this feeling still remained as far North as Baltimore and of course I remembered how our Massachusetts troops had been fired upon in Baltimore at the outset of the war but I was admonished and very wise and only returned my unremembered neighbor’s greeting with a sympathetic word and look.â€<br /> <br /> Besides individuals Coolidge does cover a few historical events including the Great Boston Fire of 1872:<br /> <br /> “Oh! a horrible sight met our eyes. Back of the opposite houses in Park Square was a background of sheets of red flames and heavy black smoke rising high into the air. . On the Parade Ground all was in confusion and the sight was very sad and never-to-be-forgotten. It was literally covered with boxes and bales of furniture and sad forlorn desperate looking people crouching or sitting or standing amidst what they had saved from their homes . At night . the whole city was in darkness as there was no gas.â€<br /> <br /> The family also frequently stayed at hotels in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Coolidge recalls the “overwhelmingly tragic†effects of the 1867 sale of this land to logging companies; she writes that looking out from the Flume House in Franconia “all about were brown scarred places marking the woodchoppers’ work which was cutting away our beautiful trees for lumberâ€.<br /> <br /> In this memoir Coolidge supplies detailed remembrances of the private personalities of influential figures of Gilded Age New England. We find two copies of My Early Reminiscences on OCLC. Of interest to historians of the era especially as told through the perspective of a young woman. unpublished unknown

[NEW YORK -- ALBUMEN PHOTOS/WOMEN].
Sumptuous Jubilee presentation albumen photo album prepared for New York’s leading German-language newspaper -- the New-Yorker Staats-Zeiting 1834-1884. Einhalbes Jahrhundert. Bilder und Blaetter zur Erinnerung an das Jubeljahr der New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung und ihrer Schoepfer. Gewidmet herrn Oswald Ottendorfer und frau Anna Ottendorfer.
New York: New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung 1884. Elephant folio 14.25 x 17.25 x 3.25 in. 26 leaves. 25 albumen photos 8 x 10.75 tipped-in onto stiff board leaves with black linen stubs gilt ruled border around each photo printed table of contents tipped-in on final leaf. Original padded brown morocco embossed borders gilt borders 1 of two brass hasps retained intact white silk moire pastedowns & flyleaves mounted on linen hinges as well a.e.g. occasional offsetting from images on facing blank occasional minor foxing some faint soiling & a faint tide mark at gutter margin of a few boards not affecting the images some scuffing & wear indented impressions on verso of last leaf still a VG- exemplar. A remarkable and invaluable visual document of the first 50 years of The New Yorker Staats-Zeitung the city’s largest German-language newspaper with a circulation of 80000 in 1884. This album includes images encompassing the history of the New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung showing scenes of when the newspaper was first established on Park Row in 1834 juxtaposed with the same scene in 1884; the three different buildings as the newspaper expanded; the Hoe printing press they operated in 1834 and then the Hoe printing press they were running in 1884; facsimile montages of Staats-Zeitung front pages from 1834 1845 1849 1852 1859 and finally in 1884. The albumen photos also show the birthplace of Anna & Oswald Ottendorfer; Oswald Ottendorfer’s fighting with the Austrian Free Corps against the Danish during the Schlewig-Holstein War; Oswald Ottendorfer’s certificate and medal as Regent of the University of New York 1870-1871; certificate as a Presidential electoral delegate in 1876; as well as images of the Isabella Home and the German Dispensary built by Anna in 1883. There is also an image of the gold medal that Empress Augusta of Germany awarded Anna for her charitable contributions to flood victims in Germany in 1882 and 1883. There were at one time two actual medals laid-into the album known as the Ottendorfer Medal for the study of German Language and listed on the table of contents sheet but the former owners of the album retained those in their possession. The New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung nicknamed the Staats was launched on December 24 1834 by the New York German Jacksonian Democrats. After a series of indifferent owners it was purchased in 1845 by Jakob Uhl who with his wife Anna quickly built the paper into the foremost paper of New York’s 60000 Germans by his death in 1852. Because of the success the newspaper had moved away from the radical political positions of the 1848-1849 European Revolutions and had adopted a centrist stance. His widow Anna Uhl Ottendorfer 1815-1884 worked daily at the paper and not only wrote articles but served as editor. After Jakob’s death she declined several offers for the Staats-Zeitung and with her energy and the cooperation of Oswald Ottendorfer who had been hired in 1850 quickly expanded the Staats advertising revenue and subscription base. After they married in 1859 they continued to build the paper into one of the largest in the country with circulation of over 80000 daily higher than the New York Times at the time. The Ottendorfer’s after the Civil War had risen into the German-American elite were active in local philanthropies and in 1875 built the Isabella Home for the Aged now Isabella Geriatric Center in New York and later the Ottendorfer branch of the New York Public Library. She died just after the printing of this album in April 1884. Of particular interest is that in 1890 a tenth of the shares of the Staats-Zeitung were sold to Herman-Ridder 1851-1915 who later after Oswald Ottendorfer’s death in 1900 would add further shares gaining complete ownership in 1906. This became the building block of what would eventually become the American media conglomerate known as Knight-Ridder Inc. World War I and then World War II as well as the drastic change in American immigration laws doomed the thriving industry of German-language newspapers by 1953 the Staats ceased to be a daily publication. There are no other recorded copies of this commemorative album.

[NURSING -- ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA/WOMEN]. [VAN DYKEN, Anna].
Two panoramic photographs of nursing students standing in front of the newly completed Alameda Hospital and Nursing School on Clinton Ave. during the Jazz Age.
Alameda CA: Alameda Hospital ca. 1926. Two panoramic silver gelatin photographs sized 7.5 x 19.5 in. both sepia-tinted both w/ ownership signature written in pencil of Anna Van Dyken on verso 1st photo listing all of the nursing students in order on the picture together with instructors standing above them on the stairs 1 w/ couple minor closed tears minor soiling to verso still VG set of images. These two scarce panoramic photos document the nursing students at Alameda Hospital and Nursing School just after the hospital had completed its’ new three-story building and was the first hospital in the Western United States to be completely wired for electricity. The Alameda Hospital was originally founded in 1894 by registered nurse Kate Creedon as the Alameda Sanatorium in a small house as a six-bed facility with a desperately needed operating room. Prior to Nurse Creedon founding the hospital there were no medical facilities of any kind on Alameda Island. The training nurses at the time included Loretta Parker Carolyn Parker Martha Schmidt Lena Kalke Livera Merrill Cecilia Johnson and more. Many of these nursing instructors had become private nurses or general practice nurses throughout California by 1940. These images show a class of 39 nursing students including Anna Van Dyken b. 1907 and her sister Dinah Van Dyken b. 1908 along with their fellow students which are carefully listed in order on the back of the first panoramic photo. Later they both became nurses in Ripon California where they remained during the 1930s. Alameda Hospital, unknown
