1962réf. 40401962. Carpenter Scott. Inscribed portrait photograph documents the public image of an original Mercury Seven astronaut who became the second American to orbit Earth during the May 24 1962 Mercury Atlas 7 mission. Piloting the spacecraft Aurora 7 Carpenter completed three Earth orbits and conducted photographic and scientific experiments during the fourth crewed flight of Project Mercury. The photograph supports research into the visual presentation of early astronauts Project Mercury Cold War patriotism and the circulation of personalized astronaut portraits during the formative years of American human spaceflight. NASA identifies Carpenter as one of the seven astronauts selected for its first astronaut class in 1959. Black-and-white portrait photograph undated. 8 x 10 inches. Carpenter appears in a suit and tie beside an American flag presenting a formal civilian likeness that joins astronaut celebrity with conventional symbols of national service. Inscribed and signed in black marker at the upper right "To Daniel Marcus Very Best Wishes Scott Carpenter." The personalized dedication identifies the photograph's original recipient and distinguishes it from an unsigned publicity portrait. The juxtaposition of Carpenter's business attire and the flag emphasizes the civic and representative role assigned to the Mercury astronauts as visible embodiments of the United States space program. Carpenter had served as John Glenn's backup for the first American orbital mission before flying Aurora 7 becoming the fourth American in space and the second to orbit Earth. His mission lasted approximately four hours and fifty-four minutes and concluded with a landing substantially beyond the planned recovery area followed by his retrieval and transfer to the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid. No specific defects are identified in the supplied description; image inscription and signature remain dark and clear near fine. Personalized patriotic portrait connecting a founding Mercury astronaut with the public culture of the early American space program. unknown books
réf. 16337Carpenter Mary. Signed carte de visite portrait circa mid-1860s records the English educational and social reformer during the period in which her work on ragged schools reformatories prison conditions and female education had made her a prominent public advocate for institutional reform. Carpenter devoted much of her career to expanding educational opportunities for poor children and young offenders and argued that reformatory institutions should foster discipline education and personal improvement rather than rely solely on punishment. She was also active in anti-slavery work and later carried her educational and penal reform interests to India where she promoted female education reformatory schooling and prison reform. Albumen carte de visite photograph by T. R. Williams of London circa mid-1860s. A slip of paper bearing Carpenter's name in ink has been pasted across the lower margin of the mount.

1904réf. 163381904. Two pamphlets concerning the educational and reformatory work associated with Mary Carpenter document the institutional methods developed for juvenile reform in nineteenth-century Britain and their continuation after Carpenter's death. Carpenter established a ragged school at Lewin's Mead Bristol in 1846 and opened the Red Lodge Reformatory for Girls with the support of Lady Byron in 1854 advocating education and rehabilitation in place of purely punitive treatment for juvenile offenders. The earlier pamphlet records a lecture on moral teaching delivered by Carpenter's associate E. A. Manning while the second commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Red Lodge with its program officers Carpenter's portrait and a photograph showing girls receiving instruction in sewing. Two pamphlets 1875 and 1904 relating to educational reform and Red Lodge Reformatory for Girls in Bristol. The 1875 pamphlet comprises 16 pages and prints E. A. Manning's lecture before the Social Science Congress on moral teaching in schools. The 1904 Red Lodge publication commemorates fifty years of the girls' reformatory and includes a portrait of Carpenter a program of anniversary events lists of trustees and officers and a photograph of girls learning to sew. The photograph records the industrial training incorporated into the institution's educational program where needlework formed part of the preparation of girls for employment after leaving the reformatory. 1 Manning E. A. Moral Teaching in Our Schools. 1875. 16 pages. Lecture delivered before the Social Science Congress by an associate of Mary Carpenter. Manning addresses moral instruction within schools during the period in which Carpenter and other reformers were pressing for educational methods intended to alter the treatment of poor neglected and juvenile offending children.

1769réf. 55574Swanzey: March 15 1769. Two-page holograph document of dismissal against Rev. Ezra Carpenter folio approx. 12" x 15" previous folds browned small holes at folds; very good and legible. Ezra Carpenter 1698-1785 a son of Nathaniel and Mary Preston Carpenter his third wife was born March 20 1698 in Rehoboth Massachusetts and graduated from Harvard College in 1720. He was married in 1723 to Elizabeth daughter of Rev. Thomas Greenwood of Rehoboth. Their children were: Elizabeth Elijah Theodosia Greenwood Preston Olive Content married John Kilburn and Rachel. He died at Walpole New Hampshire August 26 1785 in his eighty-eighth year. He entered the Christian ministry and was ordained at Hull Massachusetts November 24 1725 at a wage "rarely more than half enough to support a family." He was dismissed from the pastorate in Hull November 23 1746. November 1752 found him preaching at Lower Ashuelot or Swanzey New Hampshire which had been burned by the Indians four years before. The town of Upper Ashuelot or Keene engaged him in 1753 to preach at an annual compensation of £50 6 s. and firewood. Keene and Swanzey then formed a single church to which he was installed October 4 1753. Written by the council of churches this document concerns his pastorate in Swanzey: "We the pastors & Delegates from the Several Churches applied to by the pastor of the Church of Christ in Swanzey being convened in council at Swanzey . after earnestly imploring the Divine Direction & assistance & reading the results of former councils & other papers necessary to give us light with regard to the separation of the Rev. Mr. Ezra Carpenter as desired to ret. by our letters missive.we come to the following results.viz." They write that although Rev. Carpenter has been a good minister "We lament the unhappy differences & irresponsible & groundless jealousies mutually subsisting between the Rev Mr Carpenter.and people of Swanzey which we apprehend have been a great means of protracting & preventing the termination of their differences and controversies." They conclude with entreaties of mercy for the reverend and for treating him "as a brother" and to consider his infirmities due to his age he was then 71. The document is signed by "Thos Fessendon moderator Samuel Hedge Micah Lawrence Samll Ashley Willm Smeed and Nathl Stevens". A note at the bottom is dated March 16 1769 and states that Carpenter was then present at the house of "Dea Jona Hammond" where the declaration of dismissal was read. Sibley's Harvard Graduates notes that concerning Carpenter's first dismissal from Hull: "Carpenter patiently endured poverty for twenty years only to be overthrown in the end by New Lights who charged that he did not preach the doctrine of grace. Itinerant zealots who invaded the town inflamed the New Lights in the congregation into bringing some fifteen charges of errors of doctrine against him." Apparently similar forces were at work in this his second dismissal. Ezra Carpenter was also chaplain of New Hampshire state troops at Crown Point. March 15 unknown books
