19761,025 pages. "Includes papers on a variety of topics, especially aeronautics. Early work of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics on aircraft stability and control appears in the first section and is followed by original contributions in airfoil theory, including theories of sweptback and slender airfoils. Several papers are devoted to the theory of minimum drag and to the theory of the oblique wing. Papers on geometrical optics appear next. Perhaps the most significant of these is the design of a fast (F/.66) monochromatic lens based on an inversion of the Schmidt arrangement. Several papers based on work of Avco-Everett Research Laboratory on cardiac assist devices are included and show elementary applications of fluid dynamics to the design of blood pumps and in particular the intra-aortic baloon pump. The last section presents some simple heuristic techniques in relatistic kinematics - based on conformal coordinates in two dimensions. Here the application to space-like motions provide an interesting duality with einsteinian kinematics." - from Abstract. Above-average but not excessive wear. Binding intact. Unmarked.

Julian Eltinge 1881–1941 was the most commercially successful and popular female impersonator of his time. Beginning with drag performances in his adolescence he developed a convincing portrayal of female characters—shocking audiences at the end of shows by revealing that he was in costume—and had a successful career on the vaudeville circuit and on Broadway followed by appearances in several silent films and as mores around crossdressing changed in nightclubs. Offered here are five pieces of sheet music written for Eltinge three of which are from the 1910 musical comedy The Fascinating Widow. A New York Times review of the Widow remarks that “once over the initial unpleasantness of the idea of female impersonation which is not easy for people of delicate sensibilities there is nothing especially displeasing about Mr. Eltinge’s efforts at femininity” and notes Eltinge’s popularity and ability to draw crowds.1 Titles Included: “In the Land of Wedding Bells.” Howard Johnson and Geo.

1920rif. 201891920. LGBTQ Cross-Dressing Collection of eight photographs 1920s-1990s traces the evolution of female impersonation and cross-dressing entertainment across the twentieth century spanning early vaudeville-era performers through television and film portrayals of gender variance. The archive captures both underground stage culture and mainstream representation illuminating shifting public attitudes toward cross-dressing in American performance history. Early real photo postcards advertising Francis Blair as "Dancer De Luxe" demonstrate commercial promotion of female impersonation in the 1920s while later silver gelatin photographs depict drag performers in 1960s stage attire and publicity stills from film and television exploring gender disguise as narrative device. One image references Jamie Farr's portrayal of a cross-dressing soldier in 1979 television described in accompanying press text as "the first time a man played a man who would dress as a woman" underscoring changing media engagement with gender nonconformity. Collection of eight photographs. Sizes range from 3.5 x 5.25 inches to 8 x 10 inches. Includes two real photo postcards from the early 1920s advertising Francis Blair; four silver gelatin photographs from the 1960s showing drag performers in contemporary women's fashion; publicity still of Reg Varney in The Best Pair of Legs in the Business 1973; and images of Danielle Carter in tiger print stage costume. Several photographs retain original press articles or captions en verso. The archive chart a movement from theatrical female impersonation in live revue culture to mediated representation in film and television. They illustrate how cross-dressing functioned alternately as spectacle satire subcultural identity and emerging topic of public conversation. Photographs crisp with minimal edge wear; versos clean where visible. Overall very good condition. A cross-generational visual archive of twentieth-century gender-nonconforming performance. unknown

1960rif. 234611960. Gender nonconforming and drag performance photo archive documenting queer social gatherings costume performance pageantry and private queer community life from the 1960s through the 1990s. The photographs preserve a period when drag culture existed simultaneously in nightlife informal house parties outdoor gatherings and small community events often outside mainstream visibility. Long before drag became widely commercialized through television and corporate entertainment circuits queer performers and gender nonconforming individuals built their own social spaces through costume parody theatricality and communal celebration. Photo archive of 22 color and silver gelatin photographs ranging from small vernacular snapshots to larger prints United States circa 1960s-1990s. Several images center on a recurring bridal drag performer wearing lace wedding dresses veils floral bouquets wigs and exaggerated makeup while posing beside guests in tuxedos theatrical costumes and evening attire. Other photographs depict individuals in burlesque-inspired outfits feather boas crop tops wigs and handmade dresses posed indoors and outdoors at parties picnics and performance-like gatherings. One outdoor scene shows two figures in matching feminine costumes smiling arm in arm while additional images record staged poses beside vehicles improvised dance or performance gestures and casual snapshots emphasizing glamour and gender transformation. The archive repeatedly shifts between formal costume display and relaxed social interaction grounding drag not only as stage entertainment but as an everyday form of queer expression and community-making. The photographs align with broader developments in post-Stonewall queer culture when drag performance expanded from underground bars and private parties into increasingly visible forms of social and artistic expression. During much of this period openly gender nonconforming presentation still carried substantial social and legal risk especially outside major urban nightlife districts. This archive preserves the social fabric surrounding drag culture through intimate portrayals of friendships amateur performance gender experimentation and private community environments that sustained queer life across several decades. Light handling wear scattered creasing and occasional fading consistent with vernacular snapshot use. Overall in good condition. unknown

1970rif. 239451970. 1970s drag gala and showgirl photo archive depicting costumed performers gender transformation erotic display and nightlife during a decade when gay liberation and the broader sexual revolution challenged established boundaries governing sexuality dress and gender presentation. Several photographs carry December 1973 processing dates placing part of the archive only four years after Stonewall and three years after the first Christopher Street Liberation Day marches brought a new gay liberation politics into American public life. The photographs concentrate on the social life within through parties galas clubs and other gathering spaces in which men and women could adopt extravagant personae expose or transform their bodies and participate in forms of gender presentation that remained subject to discrimination and in some jurisdictions police scrutiny outside such settings. Drag organizations themselves were contesting those restrictions during these years; the Queens Liberation Front campaigned against cross dressing laws and began publishing Drag in 1971 as a forum for drag and gender nonconforming communities. Photo archive of 23 chromogenic color photographs ranging from approximately 3.5 x 4 to 4 x 6 inches circa 1970s with several prints dated December 1973. The photographs show showgirls and drag performers in feathered headdresses rhinestone and pearl covered costumes gowns masks lingerie boas wigs theatrical makeup and revealing stage clothes. A blonde showgirl repeatedly poses in an elaborate white jeweled costume with a towering feathered headdress and fan both alone and beside a woman in a floral dress. Other photographs show performers in enormous white wigs and feathered costumes a figure enveloped in a tiered ruffled gown masked men in minimal costumes and participants mingling in crowded interiors. Several scenes are particularly physical: a nearly nude masked man dances in briefs and boots beneath a feathered headdress; another performer wears a bikini style costume with white fur; dancers in abbreviated stage costumes pose and move beneath colored lights. Six square prints record individual performers onstage in feathered and ruffled costumes preserving the performance itself rather than only posed portraits before or after it. Men and women appear as performers companions and spectators and the photographs repeatedly move between staged glamour and informal social interaction. One outdoor image depicts costumed participants near a banner extending the material beyond the interiors represented elsewhere in the group. The archive belongs to the decade in which post Stonewall liberation politics and older drag traditions increasingly overlapped with a broader culture of sexual experimentation. The first Pride march in 1970 emerged directly from resistance to police harassment and anti homosexual laws while drag queens and gender nonconforming participants occupied a contested position even within gay liberation. Contemporary drag culture was simultaneously developing its own institutions and media. Drag magazine recorded performers clubs legal struggles and community life beginning in 1971 while Female Mimics in 1974 reported on performance venues and offered readers information about makeup clothing and drag presentation. The private and semi private interiors represented here show another dimension of that history: spaces in which elaborate femininity male erotic display masquerade nudity and transformations of conventional gender presentation could function as entertainment and as social practice among participants and spectators. Light surface and handling wear occasional scratches and minor fading or color shift; several prints show period processing marks. Overall in very good condition. A concentrated visual record of drag pageantry showgirl spectacle sexual display and the social spaces in which men and women experimented with gender and self presentation during the sexual liberation era. unknown
