‎1909 ORIGINAL SUPERB EVENTFUL WORLD CRUISE DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A LOS ANGELES MAN WHO DOES A SUPERIOR JOB DETAILING ALL HE SEES‎

‎ASEA ABOARD THE S.S. CHINA. Good. 1909. On offer is a sensational original manuscript travel diary providing a very detailed description of an eventful round-the-world cruise taken in 1909 hand written by a California man with a keen eye for observation and a gift for description. The 7 x 4 inch book has 200 pages or so and is a little more than half filled and commences June 14 to September 7th ending abruptly upon leaving Naples. The author H.A. Sommer and his wife Milly left their home in Los Angeles and travelled by train to San Francisco where they spend some time touring. He comments on the ruins of City Hall and the Courthouse and the destruction caused by the great earthquake of 1906. 'We also viewed the Ruins of the City Hall and Courthouse from the last great Earthquake a horrible sight. Form this we can obtain a slight Idea of what the terrible destruction must have been.' June 14 They then board the Steam Ship China for their journey to Asia. Their first major stop is Hawaii and his notes are very descriptive ranging from Japanese warships in the harbor to architecture and the local people. 'The whole city of Honolulu is a Dreamland it lacks word to describe its climate is perfect all year round never above 84o and seldom below 70o. As we rode back and forward on the street we noticed every Residence large or small was surrounded by a large variety of flowers and trees.' June 23 En route there are two deaths one described as a suicide by a crew member and another of a steerage passenger who died of illness. He describes the burial at sea. 'This morning we got up early to see the burial of the dead Japanese . no one appeared except Milly myself and another Gentleman the corpse was sewed in the Canvas and heavy leaden weights attached to it resting on a board at the stroke of 4 bells 6 o'clock the Captain appeared Bible in hand the first officer being already on deck. The Captain ordered the Engines to be stopped and he after every one present uncovered their heads proceeded to read out of the Bible. The two Quartermasters stepped forward took hold of the American flag which covered the dead body the pushed it forward then a couple of Sailors lifted the rear End and the body slowly gliding forward dropped in the Sea and all was over. June 29 He devotes a number of pages to their stop in Japan and his descriptions are rich in detail: A clear morning after breakfast we had our baggage taken ashore as our boat made fast we noticed some little Jap's- having red Caps on their heads looking much like dressed up monkeys they took hold of all baggage carried it to the customs house. June 6 everything is very tiny small houses People Streets and Street Cars narrow and crooked street what gives them an ancient appearance. Houses are built close together with tile roofs. People in general are quiet and modest. p. 26. Their voyage continues on via China Hong Kong Singapore Ceylon Egypt Arabia and The Holy Land including Jerusalem Jaffa. The same rich descriptions continue. The diary ends abruptly on Sept 7th as they are making passage from Naples to Genoa. There is no hint as to reason and the reader can only speculate. On the following pages p 106-107 there is an entry by one Mitchell Jon Cremin dated Feb 24th 1964. Context suggests this was a boy as he took it to his school. He said that he found the journal in an old house. Cremin says: He meaning Sommer rote about his wife wen she dide on the ship p. 107 However there is no way to verify this. For a historian this is an outstanding collection of observations and descriptions of life in many parts of the world from a time long past. Whether a historian a researcher into cultural differences or simply one who enjoys the rich tapestry of people and nations of that time that move across these pages this journal is a gem. The journal is in good condition and all pages are intact. ; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6�" - 7�" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF TRAVEL JOURNAL HA SOMMER SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE HAWAII SANDWICH ISLANDS CIRCUMNAVIGATION OF THE WORLD MITCHELL JON CREMIN STEAM SHIP CHINA JAPAN BURIAL AT SEA SUICIDE ABOARD SHIP STEAM SHIP CHINA SS CHINA 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 ANTIQUIT� CONTRAT V�LIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIG�EDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown‎

‎Dance - An Art in Academe‎

‎New York: Teachers College Press Columbia University 1970. First Edition 1st Printing. Maroon Cloth. Fine Book/Fine DJ. Unworn Unmarked A Little Fading To Dj. Inscribed To Ny And California Actress Elizabeth Talbot-Martin By Juana De Laban And Dated "Xmas 1970". "Juana De Laban Von Varalja Was An Internationally Recognized Teacher Performer Choreographer Director Author Critic And Theatre And Dance History Scholar. As A Dance Educator Laban Influenced The Development Of The Pedagogy Of Dance History And Research. Juana De Laban The Eldest Daughter Of Rudolf Von Laban And Maya Lenares Was Born On October 21 1910. Laban's Mother Was A Famous Italian Opera Singer And Her Father Was A World-Famous Movement Analyst Philosopher Writer Director Choreographer And Dancer Who Developed The Labanotation Dance Notation System. Laban's Early Years Were Dominated By The Tutelage Of Her Father. By 1934 She Had Earned A Diploma From The Royal Hungarian Academy In Budapest Where She Specialized In The National Dances Of Hungary. During The Mid-1930'S She Toured Austria Switzerland And Germany As A Solo Danseuse And Served As A Critic For The Dancing Times And Der Tanz. Her Understanding Of The Arts And Fluency In Five Languages Provided Her With A World Picture That Was To Guide Her Professional Career. At The Onset Of Wwii In 1938 She Immigrated To The United States. In 1939 Laban And Dance Partner Frances Bartha Toured Together And Opened The Laban Dance Studio In New York City. In 1941 She Began Her American Academic Training At Yale University Completing A Master Of Fine Arts In 1943 And A Doctor Of Philosophy Degree In Theatre Arts In 1947. After Graduation Laban Shifted Her Focus Away From Performing To Concentrate On Her Role As Educator. She Built Her Career In Academia Through A Series Of Posts In American Public Institutions Teaching And Speaking On Modern Educational Dance Folk Dancing And The Role Of Dance As Part Of A Fine Arts Curriculum. In 1954 Paul Baker Chairman Of The Drama Department At Baylor University Recruited Laban To Head The Graduate Division For Drama Where She Taught Stage Movement And Theatre History. The Next Eight Years Were Exceptionally Fruitful For Laban: Developing New Courses; Spearheading A National Trend To Train Actors In Movement; Directing And Choreographing Student Productions; And Teaching In South America On A Fulbright Lectureship. In 1963 Laban Accepted A Position At University Of California Los Angeles Ucla Where She Returned To A Position Within A Dance Department. Here She Concentrated On Teaching Publishing And Speaking About The Importance Of Scholarly Research And The Study Of Dance History. As An Early Member Of The Committee On Research In Dance Cord Laban Helped Shape The Development Of This Organization. By 1967 Laban Became So Committed To Scholarly Research That She Founded A Private Business The Dance Research Associates To Perform Research Assignments On A Request Basis. Because Of Her Distinguished Reputation Southern Methodist University In Dallas Recruited Laban To Head The Burgeoning Graduate Dance Program In 1971. Upon Her Return To Dallas Laban Renewed Her Association With The Dtc And Paul Baker. Robyn Baker Flatt A Former Student And Baker's Daughter Appointed Laban To The Dtc Graduate Program In 1973. Ill Health Forced Her Retirement To Temple Tx Where She Died Of Cancer In 1978 At The Age Of 68." "The Scope Of The Juana De Laban Dance Collection Housed At The Dallas Public Library Is So Broad That It Can Serve As An Important General Resource For International Research On The Many Idioms Of Dance And For The Study Of Human Movement. The Size Of The Collection Is Impressive." <br/> <br/> Teachers College Press, Columbia University hardcover‎

‎No place no date. Probably before 1730 1592330 blank p. Vellum 17 cm Details: Manuscript very clear hand and very legible. Short title in ink on the back: 'S. Scripturae Prolegomena'. 5 thongs laced through the joints Condition: Binding soiled. A straight cut of 7 cm in the vellum of the front board a minute piece of the vellum of the back 05x05 cm gone. It looks as if a former owner has tried to lacerate the front board several times with a blunt object. A small and not objectionable wormhole at the lower edge sometimes nibbling at a letter Note: Early 18th century manuscript of an anonymus written in Latin and in a clear and legible hand. The recto and verso sides of the pages have been inscribed. The last 23 pages are used for: 'Expositio Distinctionum Theologicarum A-D'. � Dominicus Habricx was a Dominican theologian and professor at the Seminarium of Roermond in the region of Limburg. He was born in 1687 in the city of Roermond and in 1708 he received at Maastricht the Dominican habit. He studied theology at the University of Leuven where he also took his degree and became a 'licentiatus' which gave him the licence to teach Licentia docendi. In 1720 he was appointed professor at the monastery in Liege and in 1726 regent of the Episcopal Seminary in Roermond. In 1730 he became a so-called controverse-preacher to Maastricht delivering with success polemical sermons. He died in 1748. The manuscripts of the theological lectures he held in Li�ge fill three volumes and were held at the beginning of the 20th century by the library of the monastery at Maastricht.
