1519ref. 45859N.P.: 1915-1948. 1915-1948. 5 1/4" x 8 3/4" x 2" in limp faux black calf post-binder with title PHOTOGRAPHS stamped in gilt on front cover sewn at gutter margin with black silk braid. 100 pp on thick black paper. 178 silver gelatin and silver print photographs sized 1 1/2" x 2" up to 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" all with identifying text below in white ink. A well-documented photo album recording the automobile travels of a young German-American woman and her beaus through the West and Midwest from before World War I through the Roaring 20s the Great Depression and post-World War II. The album carefully documents the friends family and places visited as well as the vehicles. The earliest automobile trip involves a 1923 Ford Model T 2-door given to our chronicler by Mac McGuire who also generously presents a trotting racehorse with several photos showing the car scenes in and around Illinois Illinois horse tracks as well as Mac himself. The 1925 Buick 2-door coupe experiences a much wider group of excursions including stops and views through Telluride Colorado with views of the town street scenes the mines as well as the “Gang” at the Hotel Telluride including the Chinese-American Cook. The album also shows views of the Painted Desert the compiler in front of the plane in Rock Springs Wyoming where she takes her first plane ride as well as sitting in the car in front of the US Airmail Service Hangar. In addition there are views of the auto trek to Yellowstone the dams along the way feeding the bears and even the Buick driving through the heavy brush. She apparently owns a 1927 Auburn 8-95 Coupe afterwards and visits include Petaluma California Santa Barbara and Pocatello Idaho with a view of the car and a Native American. The compiler consistently refers to herself as me my and mine and makes references to visiting relatives in 1948 after the War in Germany as well as a Sonnichsen relative released from Russian POW camp in 1948 but no indication of her name. Minor rubbing and edgewear along with minor wear to some of the leaves. A very good exemplar with all the photos retaining bright strong contrast. [1915-1948]. unknown

Journal de Christine

1825ref. 30459Paris: Bossange Frères 1825. Very Good -. Paris: Bossange Frères n.d. ca. 1825. Presumed First French Edition. Oblong octavo 14.5 x 23 cm; publisher’s pictorial lilac paper-covered boards adorned with vignettes of two young girls one skipping rope the other playing badminton; iii4-134pp.; six leaves of hand-colored aquatint plates. Ex-library with the early 20th-century gift bookplate to front free endpaper “From the books in the Children’s Room / A memorial to Nathaniel Thayer 1898–1927” with Nathaniel Thayer’s personal bookplate on facing front pastedown marred by deaccessioned rubber-stamps otherwise free of library markings. Margins quite scuffed and rubbed with rather extensive chipping and exposure of boards beneath front joint starting to crack but holding else a Good to Very Good copy in this striking publisher’s binding contents fresh and sound. Attributed to the German author Philipp Joseph Schalbacher Journal de Christine adopts the form of a pedagogical study made by the father of two young children a boy of five and a girl of four whom he observes without too much interference "knowing full well that in order to bring oneself to their level of childlike personhood one must avoid wielding over their inclinations any tyrannical constraint" from the Preface our translation. The publisher's binding beautifully encapsulates this spirit the upper cover repeating an image adorning the title page depicting two young girls jumping rope and playing badminton—education which permits pleasure and sport while also encouraging good behavior and piety. Exceedingly uncommon institutionally with three copies of this edition only as of August 2024 all separately catalogued—at Texas A&M the Morgan and the BNF. Princeton adds a copy of the 1837 reprint edition. While this work arises periodically on the market we find no copies in this lovely variant of the publisher's binding. Bossange Frères unknown
