1899réf. 66627Washington D.C. 1899. A collection of photos several showing the medical training or treatment of service men. Ten of the images 5 x 7 in. are mounted on stiff card stock the other five 4 3/4 x 6 1/2 in. are not mounted. All the photos are very good clear. In twelve of the images the same Army medical doctor Frank G. Atwood is shown: using a skeleton to teach anatomy to a group of privates 1; bandaging the head of an injured soldier who sits beside a bed with a blanket belonging to the "U.S.A. Med. Dept. 1887" 1; attending a bed-ridden patient 3 or a patient in his office 1; examining the teeth of other service men 3; listening to the heart of another soldier using his ear 1; preparing medicines 1; and with his horse and medical bag presumably on the grounds of a post hospital 1. The remaining photos show another man bandaging the ankle of an officer 1; an examination table on a swivel base 1; and a troop of soldiers standing at attention with their rifles on a parade ground 1. These photos are likely all from Atwood's time at the U.S. Army medical department in Washington D.C. Dr. Frank G. Atwood was born in Woodbury Connecticut in 1875. He studied veterinary science at the University of Toronto graduating in 1896. He also took post-graduate courses at Yale Medical School and at Johns Hopkins University studying general medicine and surgery. At the outbreak of the Spanish American War he served with the Medical Department of the U.S. Army in Cuba caring for the sick and injured soldiers there. Following the conflict he returned to Washington D.C. "where he was stationed at the General Hospital in the medical department of the United States army caring for the sick and wounded in the capital city for ten months when he returned to New Haven and resumed the practice of the veterinary science." see: "Modern History of New Haven and Eastern New Haven County" by Everett G. Hill NY: 1918 Vol. II pp. 704-5 . Dr. Frank G. Atwood advertised his services as a veterinarian in a W.C.T.U. community cookbook publication "Proved Receipts" from Clinton Madison and Guilford Connecticut 1904 and included his photograph which helped to identify him as the physician in these photos. His obituary published in the New York Times on Sept. 15 1936 states that as a "pioneer research student under Dr. Osler he was active in the Spanish War in the work to stamp out yellow fever." He also operated a large veterinary hospital in New Haven Connecticut for a quarter century. unknown books
1898réf. 231301898. Spanish-American War stereoview archive circa 1898-1899 documenting how the war was pictured through mass-produced photographic views that followed U.S. mobilization battlefield action occupation and military life across both Cuba and the Philippines. These stereoviews preserves the visual system by which the war was circulated to American audiences showcasing camp organization troop movement burial hospital care naval power and overseas deployment. Particularly notable is the archive's coverage of the Rough Riders the Santiago campaign in Cuba and U.S. presence in Manila and Malate showing how stereoview photography helped normalize the war's expansion from anti-Spanish conflict into a broader American imperial presence. Archive of 21 stereoviews Various publishers. Spanish-American War stereoview archive. Cuba the Philippines and the United States circa 1898-1899. each measuring 3" x 7". The views are drawn from multiple phases and theaters of the war including camp and drill scenes in the United States embarkation and troop arrivals at Tampa battlefield and occupation imagery from Cuba and extensive and some grisly scenes from Manila and surrounding areas in the Philippines. Captions and images show soldiers in formation cavalry drill military reviews naval artillery hospital interiors encampments burial grounds and troops in active position. Cuban views include Morro Castle after bombardment dead and wounded on the battlefield of Santiago U.S. soldiers preparing to invade Cuba and troops dining near Cabañas Fortress. Philippine views include a departure for Manila American pickets routing a Filipino reconnoitering party the 18th Infantry engaged by Filipino outposts volunteers awaiting orders under the tropical sun Army Hospital Manila and "Our Boys in Camp at Malate P.I." One stereoview identifies Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the mobilization phase linking the archive to one of the war's most publicly mythologized units. As a group the stereoviews demonstrate the process by which the Spanish-American War was framed not simply as a short military victory over Spain but as a sustained structure of U.S. troop deployment and occupation extending from Cuba into the Philippines. The Manila and Malate scenes are especially important in this regard since they place American soldiers within the opening phase of the Philippine conflict where U.S. military presence quickly moved beyond liberation rhetoric into imperial control. The archive's mixture of battlefield casualties camp routine naval spectacle and celebratory review scenes shows how stereoscopic publishing converted war into a domestic viewing experience while reinforcing the legitimacy of American expansion abroad. Wear to mounts some toning; overall very good condition. A strong cross-theater visual archive of the Spanish-American War and the emergence of U.S. imperial power in Cuba and the Philippines. unknown books
1906réf. 218101906. Manuscript medical remedy book from Devonport England compiled between 1903 and 1915 and preserving a striking record of everyday therapeutic practice in the years immediately preceding the global influenza pandemic that would soon devastate Europe. Written in ink in a clear and highly legible hand across 36 pages of a ruled notebook measuring 7.75" x 6.5" the volume gathers dozens of medicinal formulas for ailments ranging from bronchitis neuralgia rheumatism and digestive complaints to deep ulcers eye conditions sore throats winter coughs and childhood illnesses. Particularly notable are repeated entries for "influenza" appearing years before the outbreak retrospectively termed the Spanish Flu revealing how influenza already existed as a familiar and recurring medical threat within Edwardian Britain long before the catastrophic pandemic wave of 1918-1920 transformed it into one of the deadliest public health disasters of the modern era. The notebook therefore captures an important transitional moment in the history of epidemic disease: a period when influenza was treated as a common but serious seasonal illness through localized mixtures tonics expectorants and domestic pharmaceutical preparations rather than through coordinated state medicine or modern antiviral therapies. These entries provide unusually direct evidence of how ordinary practitioners dispensers or caretakers approached influenza treatment in the years immediately before the Spanish Flu pandemic altered both public consciousness and medical infrastructure surrounding contagious respiratory disease. The remedies themselves demonstrate the hybrid world of early twentieth-century medicine where domestic caregiving folk therapeutics and increasingly professionalized pharmacy overlapped. Familiar household substances such as witch hazel and paregoric appear beside pharmaceutical compounds later restricted or abandoned by mid-century medicine. Several preparations include age-specific dosages for children while others focus on strengthening mixtures cough remedies liniments lotions and wound treatments. A handful of entries are dated including one reading "June 29 1903" and another attributed to an individual identified as "A. Wilson." Accompanied by three inserted paper ephemera pieces including an index of herbs and chemicals and two additional recipe slips one bearing a postage stamp from the "Plymouth . Society Dispensing Dept. Fore St. Devonport." The overall character strongly suggests compilation by someone with regular access to a dispensary or chemist environment though not necessarily a formally licensed pharmacist operating instead within the fluid boundary between domestic medical care and industrialized pharmaceutical practice in prewar England. Well rubbed with losses to spine and extremities; interior remains clear and legible with minor foxing. Good overall condition. unknown books
1967réf. 219201967. The aftermath of the Puerto Rican civil unrest in East Harlem New York City during the summer of 1967. Two silver gelatin press release photographs dated July 25 and August 1 1967. Verso captions from the Associated Press AP identify the location as Spanish Harlem and note the events as part of the broader wave of urban uprisings that swept the U.S. in the mid-1960s. Each measure 7" x 11" and 8" x 8.5". One image shows a Puerto Rican man hauling a charred bed frame through the courtyard of a burned-out tenement building remnants of the arson and destruction that spread during the riot. In the background another figure walks past scorched debris and cracked brick walls. The second photo shows a family-including a young girl clutching a doll in a box-standing amidst broken storefronts and twisted metal grates a poignant contrast of innocence amid devastation. Both images underscore the human cost of systemic neglect and urban disinvestment in New York's working-class Puerto Rican neighborhoods. The 1967 East Harlem riot broke out on July 23 sparked by deep frustrations over racism poverty inadequate housing and police brutality-conditions that mirrored unrest in other urban centers like Newark and Detroit the same summer. In Spanish Harlem tensions boiled over after a series of confrontations between Puerto Rican youth and police igniting days of violence looting and arson. Though the mainstream press often depicted these events as senseless riots Puerto Rican activists and scholars later framed them as acts of resistance against colonial-style governance and systemic disenfranchisement. As historian Johanna Fernández notes the period was marked by the emergence of a radical Puerto Rican consciousness which would soon fuel movements like the Young Lords Party founded in 1969 that demanded community control police accountability and dignity for working-class Boricuas. Both photos are in very good condition with minor edge wear and light editorial markings and stamps on verso. Typewritten AP captions and editorial hand-annotations remain intact and legible. A rare and powerful visual document of Puerto Rican resistance during one of the most turbulent periods of 20th-century American urban history these images offer primary evidence of the socioeconomic injustices that fueled revolt and the resilience of New York's Puerto Rican community in the face of abandonment and repression. unknown books
1918réf. 205021918. Buffalo Soldier regiments depicted in stereoview photographs from the World War I era document African American cavalrymen and infantry units serving in segregated formations of the United States Army during the early twentieth century. These images record soldiers from several historically significant Black military units including the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 10th Cavalry and the 369th Infantry Regiment. African American soldiers served in large numbers during World War I despite segregation in the armed forces and the war marked a turning point in public recognition of Black military service. The photographs capture cavalry movement machine gun training and celebratory returns from the European front preserving visual evidence of the military presence and public visibility of Buffalo Soldiers during the conflict. Archive consists of seven stereoview photographs published by the Keystone View Company during the World War I period. The views depict soldiers from the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 8th Regiment of Colored Troops the 10th Cavalry the Chicago Regiment of Colored Troops and the 15th Regiment of the 369th Infantry. Two stereoviews show Black machine gun companies operating Lewis guns one of the principal light machine guns used on the Western Front during the war. Another view shows Troop K of the 10th Cavalry moving on horseback at Camp Chickamauga in Georgia. Additional stereoviews depict African American soldiers returning from European service and marching in public celebrations including scenes of troops parading along major boulevards such as Fifth Avenue in New York. The Buffalo Soldier regiments had already established a long military record before the First World War. Units such as the 10th Cavalry formed part of the segregated Regular Army created after the Civil War and served in campaigns across the western United States during the Indian Wars later participating in the Spanish American War the Philippine American War and operations during the Mexican Revolution. World War I marked one of the final periods in which cavalry units remained visible in American military organization as mechanized armor and motorized vehicles soon replaced mounted troops. At the same time Black soldiers who returned from service were celebrated in wartime parades yet continued to face segregation and racial discrimination within American society. Stereoview cards remain well preserved with light age wear typical of early twentieth century photographic prints. Very good condition overall and a visually compelling record of Buffalo Soldiers during the World War I era. unknown books
1936réf. 190131936. Lot of 2 Large vintage Photographs: One Large photo shows graves outside a mausoleum that had been disinterred by the communists in the Spanish Civil War. Captioned in French. Several caskets are opened on its steps and even stood up some of the skeletons against the columns at its entrance. This grisly shot shows the vicious nature of the Spanish Civil War which saw both the Nationalists led by Franco and the communist and anarchist militants commit extreme acts to instill terror in the opposition. The communists charged with this violation had an enemy not only in Franco but in the Church which they considered a powerful reactionary and oppressive force within Spain. This kind of sacrilegious deed likely took place during the Red Terror which was a bloody period after Franco's 1936 coup when the leftist factions exacted ruthless anticlerical and class-based violence within their domain. Comes with another photo of a Russian Orthodox church that has been requisitioned by the Soviets and turned into a store for among other things a large plaque of Lenin and shelves full of supplies. Captioned in French. Several of the paintings and altarpieces have been taken down and placed alongside a large metal plaque of Bolshevik leader Lenin. In this photo we see the largely atheist Bolsheviks make a statement by turning a grand Orthodox into a repository for some supplies and also the arrival of a new guiding ideology as represented by the plaque of Bolshevik leader Lenin and the communist ideal he embodied. Both images are rolled with some imperfections on edges but in very good condition overall. unknown books

Hardcover. price-clipped bumped at top rear corner otherwise a nice clean copy with just light shelfwear; the jacket is a bit age-toned along the edges with a few tiny nicks along the top and bottom edges one addtional nick at the right edge of the front panel and a 2.5-inch split at the bottom rear foldover. Epic novel set in the Catalonian city of Gerona during the period immediately preceding the Spanish Civil War. "This is the story of a Spanish family and of the people of Gerona caught up in an onrushing historical crisis. Representing in themselves the splitting forces that brought on the Civil War the family is torn and puzzled and even destroyed. But they never cease to assert heart-warmingly the human estate." Originally published in Spain as "Los cipreses creen en Dios" in 1953 and in the U.S. in a 2-volume edition in 1955 it was the first book in a tetralogy about the Spanish conflict. This is the second printing of the subsequent one-volume American edition.

1715réf. 21226London 1715. Broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Ornamental initial. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. A rare political leaflet petitioning Parliament for relief of warrant officers who had fought in the recent War of the Spanish Succession. In March 1715 the House of Commons ordered that a list of all the regimental and warrant officers be drawn up but by the time of this document's printing numerous warrant officers had not been entered into the list and rumors had begun to circulate that they would therefore not be receiving expected compensation for their service. "Besides the Nature of several of the Warrant Officers Posts was such as they could not be put on a Regimental List viz. Directors of Hospitals Commissaries Officers who have lost their Limbs and many other Officers whose particular Hardships Pretensions and Disappointments are more at large set forth and specify'd in their several Warrants. So that their Condition is very deplorable." This is among the earliest examples of lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715. ESTC lists only two copies at Oxford and the University of Missouri. Hanson 2212. unknown books
1715réf. 21225London 1715. A petition to Parliament by the officers of Lieutenant General George Hamilton's Regiment of Foot seeking pay due for services abroad in the War of the Spanish Succession. Lord George Douglas-Hamilton 1666-1737 was a Scottish Williamite officer during the Glorious Revolution who later married William III's mistress Elizabeth Villiers became a confidant of William was created Earl of Orkney in 1696 was appointed Governor of Virginia in 1714 and in 1736 was the first British general promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. In 1701 at the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession Hamilton led the First Regiment of Foot the Royal Scots to the Netherlands where the regiment fought for the remainder of the war. Despite their long service and the high position of Hamilton the officers suggest in the present petition that having been so long overseas they had been forgotten by the British government and charge that they had not received their pay even after frequent petitions. The document is an early example of lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715. ESTC records four copies two at the British Library one at Oxford and one at the National Library of Scotland. unknown books

1820réf. 3330Mexico City: July 11 1820. About very good. Large double-sheet broadside approximately 23.5 x 17 inches. Two sheets joined at central horizontal fold. Five chips at left edge not affecting text and some additional minor edge wear; otherwise light toning and dust soiling. Two contemporary manuscript signatures at foot; contemporary duty stamps on blank verso. Fascinating and otherwise unrecorded broadside that dictates the organization and process for the 1820 election of Mexican deputies to the Spanish Cortes during the second and last period of constitutional monarchy in Mexico. Colonial Mexico first achieved some representation in the Spanish government under the liberal Constitution of 1812 which lasted for two years before being revoked by Ferdinand VII upon his return to power in 1814. The reinstatement of the liberal constitution and the Cortes of Cadiz in 1820 however was not enough to prevent Mexico from obtaining full independence one year later. This broadside promulgated in Mexico on July 11 1820 by the colonial Viceroy Juan Ruiz de Apodaca y Eliza announces the renewed representation via regional elections to select Provincial Deputies for the Cortes and contains eight articles delineating the process by which these elections are to be held. In brief these articles order representation be apportioned according to the population as approximated from the 1792 census; divides Mexico into provinces for the purposes of the election; and places parameters on representation for each province. In all a very interesting window onto the formation of the brief final period of Spanish colonial rule in Mexico. July 11 unknown books
