1870réf. D11031England 1870s. Hardcover. Very Good. England Kent and Norfolk counties: c. 1871-1874. 8vo 175 x 115mm; 61 numbered pages in the hand of Charles W. Prescott detailing his various hunting excursions around the Kent countryside. Prescotts ownership inscription on front free-endpaper is dated 1871. His entries are easily read and cover Prescotts adventures on hunting hares with a skulk of foxes writing Found another in the same field ran her straight back to Old Park round the pond and the pack hunted her beautifully . Dec. 16 1871. The hunts took place over sprawling village and countryside or as he describes hop-gardens hills and ploughs of land in the Herne Bay area of Kent England. Many entries are headed by recognizable locations; Stroud Park Broomfield Hilsborough Wolston Heath and Chislet Mill and are dated with month and sometimes year. Only a portion of the way full his entries span about three years the first dated: Oct. 19 71 Stroud Park and last March 25 1874. Contemporary black morocco marbled endpapers and marbled endpapers with original brass clasp faint splitting at lower hinge of first few leaves strengthened at endpapers corners rubbed otherwise in very good shape especially considering it was wielded around so much of the Kentish countryside. Prescott makes many personal anecdotes about his day noting things in his surroundings like scent moderate or adding his opinions we could not kill I think we should have but the sun was too hot. Prescott often ends the entries with jotting down the days weather as something like very indifferent but as good as could be expected with a very cold east wind or simply stating Frost. It is evident from Prescotts personal asides that he was a vigilant huntsman quite dedicated to the task. Further personal glimpses reveal a record of his horses charming names including Salt Fish and Molly Malone. At the time Prescott was taking these notes Herne Bay area and the Kentish villages would have been teeming with people. The Victoria era was one of prosperity when elite English folk flocked to popular destinations to partake in their favorite pastimes. From 1873 on in the journal Prescott notes he was hunting with Pytchley by writing their name in parentheses. The Pytchley hunt is an organization originally based in Northamptonshire in formation as early at the 1630s. The organization is still active today. Pytchleys website notes that from 1819-1873 right as Prescott began with Pytchley for one year the Althorp and Pytchley countries were hunted by one pack with a second pack established at Brigstock. Prescott was part of the famous hunt organization at a time when it was amid significant change and expansion. His notes may keep further clue of such growth. While the huntsman himself may be unknown to history the anecdotal evidence in Prescotts diary gives us a glimpse of the Victorian man fond of his sport. hardcover
1935réf. 43308Kharkov: Ukrmelukhenatsmindfarlag 1935. First edition. Original illustrated paper wrappers 8vo 156 pages.Includes illustrations. 21-23 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates roughly as “Challenge: A Literary Artistic and Critical Bibliographical Journal.” At the time the only Yiddish literary periodical in Ukraine. Farmest 1933–1937 was a monthly Yiddish literary magazine published in Kharkhiv Ukraine by the Ukrainian Committee for Soviet Writers. “Edited by the poet Itsik Fefer 1900–1952 it was continued in Sovetishe literatur: Literarish-kinstlerisher un kritish-bibliografisher zhurnal Soviet Literature: Literary-Artistic and Critical-Bibliographical Journal; 1938–1941. In 1927 Fefer was a founding member of the Jewish Section of the All-Ukrainian Union of Proletarian Writers and from 1928 one of the editors of its Kharkov-based journal Prolit Proletarian Literature. He also coedited the nonproletarian Kharkov journal Di royte velt The Red World from 1929. From 1933 to 1937 he edited the Kiev periodical Farmest Challenge; known as Sovetishe literatur Soviet Literature between 1938 and 1941 which replaced Prolit and Di royte velt and was thereafter the only Yiddish literary periodical in Ukraine.” YIVO. Avrom Gontar was also involved in the collective and editorial committee. The editor Itsik Fefer 1900–1952 “began writing poems in 1918 and in 1922 joined Vidervuks New Growth in Kiev a group of young Yiddish literati whose mentor was Dovid Hofshteyn. That same year the appearance of Fefer’s small collection Shpener Splinters established him as a rising literary star. His poetry amalgamated the Kultur-lige poets’ revolutionary romanticism with the propagandist objectives of the workers’ movement. Fefer was known for his literary credo of proste reyd simple speech a concept he formulated in 1922. In the early 1920s poetry particularly avant-garde poetry swamped the literary pages of Soviet Yiddish periodicals. This phenomenon worried editors and critics who were wary of the fact that Yiddish readers usually could not identify with this style of literature. All Yiddish readers by contrast could understand Fefer’s proste reyd. In 1927 Fefer was a founding member of the Jewish Section of the All-Ukrainian Union of Proletarian Writers and from 1928 one of the editors of its Kharkov-based journal Prolit Proletarian Literature. He also coedited the nonproletarian Kharkov journal Di royte velt The Red World from 1929” Gennady Estraikh.
