réf. 7151Player Gary. Challenge Golf consent form documenting the broadcast-control procedures applied to televised competition featuring one of international golf's leading champions. The American Broadcasting Company form required Player to affirm that he had not received contest questions or answers before their use revealing how television producers formalized participant eligibility and program integrity through signed representations. The document records broadcast compliance through a contestant consent agreement demonstrating the mechanisms by which ABC sought to protect a competition program from undisclosed advance information and providing primary-source evidence for the study of sports television network regulation and performer participation. Player a South African professional rather than a United States golfer won the 1965 U.S. Open and became the first non-American to complete the modern career Grand Slam. Player Gary. Consent form for Challenge Golf. American Broadcasting Company n.d. One page. 8 by 11 inches. Headed "American Broadcasting Company" the document states in part "I have never 1 been given the questions and/or answers in advance of their use on the contest in such program." Player signed in blue ink "Gary Player." The quoted provision shows that the form addressed the integrity of competition programming rather than merely authorizing Player's appearance or use of his likeness. Two punch holes appear along the upper edge. Challenge Golf was an ABC television series built around matches involving Player and Arnold Palmer against other professional golfers; surviving program descriptions identify its 1963 broadcasts as combining competitive play commentary and prominent courses including Pebble Beach and Riviera. The present consent form illustrates how televised sport could be administered through the same disclosure and fairness procedures associated with other contest programming even when athletic play formed the principal attraction. Two punch holes at top; blue-ink signature remains clear and legible with no other defects reported. Very good. A revealing signed document connecting Gary Player's championship career with the regulatory and contractual framework of early televised golf. unknown books

1747réf. 143611747. Bellin Jacques Nicolas. Ile d'Ormus ou de Jerun 1747 depicts Hormuz and the surrounding Persian Gulf maritime landscape more than a century after an Anglo-Persian force ended Portuguese control of the island in 1622. Published in Histoire générale des voyages the engraving identifies the Persian coast islands anchorages fortifications and channels while distinguishing Arab vessels from large-masted European sailing ships. Its concentration on ships coastal defenses and approaches to Hormuz records the strategic geography of a passage that connected Persian Gulf ports with Indian Ocean trading routes. Bellin Jacques Nicolas. Ile d'Ormus ou de Jerun. From Histoire générale des voyages 1747. Overall sheet size 13.5 x 9.5 inches; image size 7.5 x 9.75 inches. The upper portion identifies the "Cote de Perse" while inscriptions throughout the engraving include "Fortresse" "Ile de Kishom ou Quixema" "Entre des Vaisseaux" "Porte de derriere" "Parade Alkoran" "St. Lucia" and "Lardimira." Five Arab vessels occupy the foreground while additional Arab shipping appears at left and European ships with tall masts and multiple sails appear at right. The fortified settlement on Hormuz includes the fortress associated with Portuguese occupation of the island. Hormuz had been seized in 1507 by the Portuguese commander Afonso de Albuquerque and Portuguese control made the island a fortified base for regulating maritime commerce at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. The Portuguese constructed the Fort of Our Lady of the Conception there; in 1622 forces of Shah Abbas I assisted by ships of the English East India Company captured Hormuz and ended Portuguese rule on the island. Bellin's 1747 engraving therefore records a landscape shaped by earlier Portuguese fortification but returned to Persian control while its juxtaposition of Arab and European vessels documents the continuing international maritime character of the strait.

Binding dusted text and plates clean. Very Good. President William Joyce informs "The Tremont & Gulf Railway Company is the outgrowth of the Tremont & Gulf Railroad which in its initial stages was merely a logging road with rather poor grades and alignment." He proudly recounts the Company's development. "The storied Tremont & Gulf Railway began life in 1902 when it laid rails from a Tremont Lumber Company railhead 9 miles from the town of Tremont to Winnfield Louisiana some 40 miles to the south. Various small expansions occurred up through 1908 when the original company the Tremont & Gulf Railroad went into foreclosure. The T&G Railway emerged as successor and promptly completed another branch of 20 miles. The shortline served a timber - rich region situated amid the mainlines of several prominent Louisiana carriers: Chicago Rock Island & Pacific; Illinois Central; Louisiana & Arkansas; Missouri Pacific. Nevertheless despite these advantages the pike lost money throughout its existence" web site of Hawkins Rails online. The Railway's original records "which had been found to be more or less incomplete and scattered" are organized compiled and printed here. OCLC 817757631 1- SMU as of March 2025. unknown books
