1990réf. 239441990. West Hollywood Halloween and drag photo archive showing gay nightlife costume performance and gender play at the city's Halloween celebration circa 1990s when the annual event was developing into one of the country's largest public Halloween gatherings. West Hollywood occupied an exceptional position in American gay civic life by this period.Incorporated in 1984 through a coalition that included LGBT activists its first City Council became the first municipal governing body in the United States with an openly gay majority and the new city quickly enacted protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and against people with HIV and AIDS.The Halloween Carnaval formally launched in 1987 from earlier gay Halloween gatherings along Santa Monica Boulevard gave that political and social visibility a mass public expression through drag costume performance and occupation of the street. WeHo By 1995 contemporary reporting described nearly 100000 people converging on West Hollywood for Halloween and traced the celebration to gay men who had begun gathering there more than two decades earlier. Photo archive of 41 chromogenic color photographs each approximately 4 x 6 inches West Hollywood California circa 1990s. The photographs record drag queens gay men and other costumed participants moving through a crowded nighttime celebration frequently stopping to pose embrace dance and perform for the camera. Costumes range from Snow White and other fairy tale figures to nurses brides cowboys showgirls geisha inspired characters with parasols Egyptian royalty devils flight attendants and performers in elaborate gowns lingerie wigs feathers sequins jewelry and theatrical makeup. Several photographs concentrate on coordinated groups: three figures appear in matching blue dresses and white caps; blond performers carry circular signs reading "Air Head Airlines"; a nurse wears white with prominent red crosses; and bridal and princess costumes recur in exaggerated forms. Other images capture pairs embracing friends laughing for the camera performers dancing among spectators and men adopting deliberately heightened feminine personae through padded bodies evening dresses high heels wigs cosmetics and jewelry. The recurring participants and crowded surroundings preserve the Carnaval as a social event rather than simply a costume display recording interaction between drag performers friends spectators couples and other revelers within West Hollywood's nightlife environment. The photographs belong to a specific history of West Hollywood as both a center of gay life in Southern California and a municipality in which LGBTQ political power became part of civic identity. The city's connection to gay activism preceded incorporation: Los Angeles Pride moved to West Hollywood in the 1980s while local organizing around gay rights HIV and AIDS domestic partnership and discrimination shaped the government established in 1984. Halloween developed within that environment as a particularly visible form of queer public culture. A 1995 Los Angeles Times account described gender bending costume as a defining feature of the West Hollywood celebration even as its popularity brought an increasingly broad public audience. As the scale continued to grow the City later described the Carnaval as the country's largest outdoor Halloween celebration and has recorded attendance estimates reaching hundreds of thousands while identifying costumes exhibition performance and self expression as defining elements of the event. These photographs capture that culture during the 1990s when an event rooted in gay community life was becoming a mass regional spectacle without losing drag and gender transformation as central forms of participation. Light surface wear and occasional handling marks; images remain strong and legible. Overall in very good condition. A substantial photographic record of West Hollywood Halloween at the intersection of gay civic identity drag culture gender performance and one of the nation's largest public Halloween celebrations. unknown

réf. 24185No date or place. Royal Military College Sandhurst; late 1880s. The present item is excessively scarce: there is no record of it on either OCLC WorldCat or JISC. The Staff College Drag Hunt at the Royal Military College Sandhurst was established in 1869 as a private pack which drag-hunted twice a week in the area surrounding Camberley and after more than a hundred and fifty years the hunt still rides. 1p 12mo. Text enclosed in rules with decorative corners. In fair condition lightly worn and spotted with traces of stub and mounting on blank reverse. Titled: ‘The Staff College Drag Hunt Song. / By Major M. Churchill 2/Northampton Regiment / Master S.C.D.H. 1885-86 / Music from Mr. F. Cotton’s “Forty Minutes.” ’ Seven numbered four-line stanzas and the following chorus: ‘Then let us drink drag-hunting boys and pass the bottle round / Drink to the horse the fox of course a bumper to the hound; / And let us toast our farmers as a right good jolly sort / When you haven’t time for hunting then the Drag is rattling sport.’ First stanza: ‘The gallant steed by nature made companion for the hound / Will give us great enjoyment as o’er the fields we bound; / There’s nothing like fox-hunting and some might say the stag / But when you can’t get either then there’s nothing like the Drag.’ The fourth stanza notes that ‘many a Staff aspirant has saluted mother earth’. There are also references to the Staff College Tangley Park and Easthampstead Park. The final stanza gives a toast to ‘our Secretary’s health’ as ‘He’s the proper sort of fellow to instruct the R. M. C.’ See image No date or place. [Royal Military College, Sandhurst; late 1880s.] unknown

1887réf. 47165New Haven Conn. J.D. & E.S. Dana 1887. 8vo. Contemporary half calf. Gilt lettering to spine. A small stamp to top of title-page. In: "The American Journal of Science. Editors James D. and Edward S. Dana" Third series Vol. XXXIV July to December 1887. VIII500 pp. textillustr. and 10 plates. Entire volume offered. The joint paper: pp. 333-345 and textillustr. Apparatus. A few faint brownspots to titlepage otherwise clean and fine. First appearance of this classic paper which announced one of the most celebrated experiments in the history of physics and eventually led Einstein to his Relativity Theory.The experiment was expected to show the rate of the earth's movement through the ether; they looked in vain for a difference between the speed of light in the direction of the earth's motion around the sun and the direction perpendicular to it. The failure of this experiment was a serious blow to classical scientific theories because it cast doubts on the existance of the universal ether which had been a basic principleof for example the Newtonian theories of the universe. Vide PMM: 378 401 408.The paper appeared first in the "American Journal of Science" in November as offered here and was published a month later in "Philosophical Magazine" in a slightly modified form."Michelson trained at the U.S. Naval Academy and Morley minister turned chemist began a series of experiments to determine the relation of ether drift and the velocity of light effects of extremely minute values. They used a slightly silvered glass set angular to a ray of sunlight so that a part ofthe ray was transmitted a part reflected out and again returned thereby providing two paths one perpendicular to the other. If drift existed the superimposed rays would produce interference. None was observed showing that the earth's motion did not affect the light's speed. The negative result held revolutionary implications which led directly thru Lorentz and Einstein to the acceptance of new standards of reference of time and space from geometry and cosmometry."DibnerIn 1919 Einstein met Michelson in California. At a dinner given in honor of them both Einstein said in a speech "You Michelson uncovered an insidious defect in the ether theory of light as it existed and stimulated the ideas of H.A. Lorentz and Fitzgerald out of which the Special Theory of Relativity developed. Without your work this theory would today be scarcely more than an interesting speculation." In an interview in 1842 Einstein said: "It is no doubt that Michelson's experiment was of considerably influence upon my work insofar as it strengthened my conviction concerning the validity of the Principle of relativity.On the other side I was pretty much convinced of the validity of the principle before I did know this experiment and its result. In any case Michelson's experiment removed practically any doubt about the validity of the principle in optics and showed that a profound change of the basic concepts of physics was inevitable."Michelson was awarded the 1907 Nobel Prize "for his optical precision instrument the inteferometer and the spectroscopic and metrological investigations he has carried on."Dibner: Heralds of Science: 161 lising the later version from "Philosophical Magazine" - Norman 1505.- Magee "A Source Book in Physics" pp. 369 ff. the later paper.The volume contains another paper by Michelson and Morley "On a method of Making the Wave-lenght of Sodium Light the actual and practical Standard of Lenght" pp. 427-430. unknown
