1936ref. 007683London: Hector Powe Ltd. Printer: Spottiswoode Ballantyne & Co. Ltd 1936. First Edition. Wraps. Stapled brochure. Very Good. Scarce and unusual trade catalogue and promotion for Regents Street haberdasher. With no copies found anywhere. Not to be confused with similar title by American cartoonist Palmer Cox. 4to. 25 by18 cm. Unpaginated 20 pageseight of which have fold-out flaps. Illustrated extensively drawn vignettes many of which are light-hearted and comical sometimes because the illustration itself is caricature-ish other times because of the wry short caption below the vignette. This group of illustrations is rendered with partial color -- red green orange -- in contrast to the cover which uses fuller color even as it is harmonious with the text vignettes in its coloring. A second group of illustrations is entirely black and white and these are comprised of larger drawings which clearly are printings of pencil drawings showing one or two men in the company's attire which includes sportswear business suits formal dress. Below these are smaller black and white vignettes that seek to elaborate on the use and burnish the lifestyle that the company wants to have associated with the look. Loose but tucked inside the brochure is a postcard sent with the catalogue for a customer to request the company to send him fabric swatches. With the Regent Street address not to mention the clothes being showcased Hector Powe catered to the carriage trade and we would assume that it was just a notch below the better Savile Row custom tailors in terms of prestige and the price range. Hector Powe was founded in 1910 or around then and expanded to six branches. During the Second World War it got into the business of supplying the British govenment with military uniforms. The company was acquired in 1954 by a concern that eventually merged with or was absorbed by Burberry. Light soiling of the wraps some of which can be mitigated further if one so wishes with an eraser. Staples used to bind now rusty. Otherwise clean tight. Hector Powe Ltd.

Purple mourning lines frame the edges of the 4 pages of card stock which is bound at the top with red cotton ribbon. The tradition behind the burial of the algebra was sort of a light hazing ritual performed by freshmen students. Thirty days after arriving at Bard the freshmen were to steal an algebra book which they were to then sign and bury with several bottles of wine. Then the night before commencement the students now seniors would dig it up and consume the wine raising a toast to their graduating class. The ritual is described as follows in a 1930 issue of the Lyre Tree a student newspaper: "There is a tradition of long standing at St. Stephen's that within 30 days after the close of the first semester the Freshman class shall with all the ritual and solemnity due to the occasion secretly inter an algebra autographed by each member of the class and with it a certain quantity of wine. To be legal every Freshman must be at the grave during the burial. At the end of the four years the algebra is exhumed and burned on a funeral pyre during the Class Day exercises. Toasts are drunk to the college and to the outgoing and incoming Senior class." "St. Stephen's College was established as a Training College for the Ministry and as such it was requested to make an annual report to the Convention of the Diocese of New York. The object was the supervision of the young men who had devoted themselves to the ministry of the Church. It was afterwards opened to any who would not disturb the general purpose for which it was originally instituted." Quoted from "The Thirty-First Annual Catalogue of St. Stephen's College Annandale N.Y. 1892-93". The land now owned by Bard College was once composed of several country estates Blithewood Bartlett Sands Cruger's Island and Ward Manor/Almont among them. John & Margaret Bard purchased a part of the Blithewood estate in 1853. Renaming the property as Annandale they established a parish school the following year. They then began building the Chapel of the Innocents next to Bard Hall in 1857 and the following year donated the unfinished Chapel and surrounding acreage to New York's Episcopal diocese which had promised financial support to grow the school into a theological college. St. Stephen's College was thus founded in 1860. In honor of its founder the school changed its name to Bard College in 1934. Ten years later in 1944 Bard became a co-educational school welcoming female students and faculty. Annandale, NY: 1890 through 1896. [1890's] paperback
