First edition thus of this wonderfully printed and inventive colour ink sample catalogue for colour newspaper inks developed specially for the newly introduced American Newspaper Publishers Association & American Association Advertising Agencies colour standards. Prior to their initial studies and reports newspapers were often published with muddy misaligned and very inaccurate colours and formed a committee which by 1951 had produced specific standards on colour inks for comics cartoon strips and colour advertising in newspapers. This catalogue advertises with the California Ink Company’s Process Standard Colours Intermix Colours and finally the Cal Ink Standard R.O.P. Run-of-Paper colours. The section on “Handy Tear-off Swatches” provides an excellent colour chart as well as actual colour samples which could be ordered at the time from California Ink.The firm was founded in 1891 in Los Angeles as a Union Oil Co. subsidiary and moved to San Francisco in 1896 by E.L. Hueter and managed by Lewars b. 1866 who along with others in the company opened the office in their factory at West Berkeley following the 1906 Earthquake & Fire which destroyed their records. In 1919 the company was reincorporated and purchased by Graham Shattuck Reed & Nathan. They developed a white ink for marking bees perfumed ink for use in advertising were main suppliers of pigment colours and varnishes on the West Coast and developed the first “Litho Red” ink made in the U.S.k and developed the first magnetic inks for check imprinting in 1950.

1940rif. 221961940. Chinese-language newspaper issue. World War II era New York City. This publication documents Chinese American civic participation and wartime communication during the Second World War presenting news of the Pacific theater alongside appeals for support of the United States war effort and coverage of U.S.-China relations. The issue demonstrates how Chinese-language press served immigrant communities by combining political reporting public service messaging and commercial advertising linking local Chinatown life to global conflict and diaspora identity. Chinese-language newspaper four large-format pages measuring approximately 22 x 18 inches densely printed with traditional Chinese characters illustrations and advertisements. The pages include articles reporting on military developments in the Pacific and commentary on the Republic of China's wartime position alongside columns addressing local community concerns. A prominent advertisement urges readers to "BUY UNITED STATES WAR BONDS AND STAMPS" illustrated with a colonial soldier placing patriotic messaging directly within a Chinese-language context. One photograph shows a woman in military uniform shaking hands with another Chinese American woman before an American flag with a caption identifying her as part of a women's volunteer service corps assisting the U.S. military. Advertisements for laundries restaurants funeral homes and import-export businesses list addresses in Manhattan Brooklyn and Philadelphia indicating a network of Chinese American commercial life across the region. Published during a period when Chinese Americans navigated exclusionary immigration policy and wartime nationalism such newspapers provided a platform for political alignment with the United States while maintaining ties to China's resistance against Japanese expansion. Coverage of war bonds volunteer service and overseas conflict situates the issue within broader efforts by Chinese American communities to assert belonging and contribute materially to the war. Edge chipping and fold splits with minor wear; text remains clear and legible; overall good. A substantial example of Chinese American wartime print culture documenting diaspora engagement with both U.S. civic life and international conflict. unknown
1906rif. 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

Sie erschien jeden Samstag und trieb nach einem Wort von Gustave Flaubert besonders in den Jahren bis zum ersten Weltkrieg 'die allgemeine Schweinerei wie in den Tagen von Bouvard und Pécuchet'. "Le Rire" demaskierte die "falschen Ärsche" von Politik und Gesellschaft und sparte die Kleinbürger dabei nicht aus. Dabei ist es heuzutage eine Banalität von der "Belle Epoque" zu sprechen und dabei zu vergessen daß diese Zeit nur für einige Zeitgenossen schön war. "Le Rire" beschäftigte die besten Zeichner der Zeit wie Toulouse-Lautrec Félix Vallotton Steinlein Forain Léandre der den Gotha du Rire erfand Caran d'Ache Charles Veber Charles Huard Rabier Abel Faivre Roubille Lucien Métivet um nur die bekanntesten unter ihnen zu nennen.
