1910réf. 200811910. Women's competitive golf archive 1910s to 1930s documents women golfers in practice tournament and club settings during the formative decades of organized women's golf in the United States. The group provides visual evidence of women's athletic participation in a sport long associated with country-club respectability social access and gendered expectations about dress leisure and competition. The U.S. Women's Amateur Championship began in 1895 as one of the USGA's first three championships and the USGA identifies it as marking the beginning of women's competitive golf in the United States; these photographs and postcard show how that competitive culture appeared in everyday and press imagery in the decades that followed. The archive consists of seven items dated between the 1910s and 1930s: six silver gelatin photographs and one brightly illustrated postcard measuring from approximately 1.75 x 2.75 inches to 7.25 x 9 inches. The photographs include a 1934 press image of golfer Barbara Stoddard in a swing position; a 1935 lineup from the Annual Women's St. Valentine Golf Tournament identifying Helen Waring Sarah Fownes Wadsworth Myrom W. Marr and W.C. Fownes Jr.; three small circa 1928 photographs of women positioned with clubs on a golf range; and an early 1930s image of two women posed with a man at a country club the women holding several clubs with one woman wearing trousers. The illustrated postcard from the early twentieth century shows a woman swinging a club in an athletic outfit still shaped by long-skirted fashion rather than later sportswear. Across the group recurring details include golf clubs held as markers of athletic identity posed swings tournament lineup conventions country-club settings and changing women's clothing from long skirts to less restrictive dress. The archive records women's golf as both competitive sport and social performance making visible the relationship between athletic skill class-coded club culture and evolving public ideas about women's physical capability. Its strongest research value lies in the mix of press photographs vernacular practice images tournament documentation and illustrated popular culture allowing comparison between women as actual competitors and women as stylized sporting subjects. Light handling wear minor edge wear and typical surface wear to photographs and postcard; images remain clear and identifiable; overall very good. Cohesive women's sports archive documenting early twentieth-century women golfers as competitors club participants and subjects of changing athletic representation. unknown

1807réf. 145581807. Waring Edward Scott. A Tour to Sheeraz 1807 travel narrative describing Persia during the early nineteenth century written by an officer of the British East India Company who journeyed to Shiraz in 1802 by way of the Persian Gulf. The work documents British encounters with Persian society at a moment when commercial diplomatic and strategic interests increasingly connected the Persian Gulf with British imperial networks centered in India. Waring records observations of Persian customs language literature and law while also describing economic activity and regional cultures encountered along the Gulf coast. His account places particular attention on the intellectual traditions of Persian literature and the social practices of Persian society providing commentary on classical Persian poetry as well as everyday cultural life. Waring Edward Scott. A Tour to Sheeraz by the Route of Kazroon and Feerozabad; with various remarks on the manners customs laws language and literature of the Persians. London: W. Bulmer for T. Cadell & W. Davies 1807. Second edition revised. Waring recounts his expedition to Shiraz and provides descriptions of landscapes towns and cultural practices encountered along the journey. The narrative includes discussions of hawk hunting Arabian horses and pearl fishing in the Persian Gulf with references to coastal communities stretching from Ras al Khaimah and Qatar to Bahrain and Kuwait. Waring also records an early European account of Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab and the religious movement associated with Wahhabi Islam. Throughout the text he comments on Persian language and literary traditions including references to major poets such as Hafiz and Saadi as well as the intellectual influence of Sufi thought. Travel literature concerning Persia and the Persian Gulf formed an important component of European knowledge about the region during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. British officials and merchants traveling between India and the Middle East produced accounts that combined geographic description with commentary on local society trade networks and political developments. Waring's narrative reflects this tradition presenting observations on Persian history and social customs alongside discussions of the literary heritage that shaped Persian intellectual culture. The author himself noted that the earlier 1804 edition printed in Bombay contained numerous errors that required correction leading to the publication of this revised edition. Folio volume containing 329 pages bound in quarter leather over original boards. The two plates called for are absent.
