First edition of "the most important early geography written by an Englishman" Carpenter was the first to write on theoretical geography as distinuished from mathematical treatises on navigation or the repetition of narratives of travel. "The great merit of the treatise is Carpenter's blending of the solid part of the work of Aristotle and Ptolemy with that of the explorers and investigators of his own generation. He mentions the magnetical observation of Gilbert Wright Ridley and Norman and the cartographical improvements of Mercator and Wright" Rosenbach 19:110.

1901réf. 20022Boston: Bay State Card and Paper Company 1901. NA. Very Good. Unusual promotion for a card and paper company. One flips a flap on a rear case being transported on the back of a delivery tricycle and revealed are many infant heads! Based on the captioning below which reads: "This is a sample of our Families Supplied Novelty at $10.00 per thousand List" this is a promotion for the sort of clever work this stationary printer could do for customers as opposed to selling the particular card. Indeed we don't quite get who would order this card which would seem to turn on punning the word "Delivery" in a manner that seems strained to us although a recipient of the card would probably be mildly charmed by the gimmick and after all the company is promoting its facility with novelty cards. There is charm also in the chromolithographic image even without the flap with its young delivery cyclist from a bygone era a sort of delivery that only recently has staged a major comeback. The card is one folded sheet of card stock. Closed it is oblong measuring 7 by 11 cm and open it is 14 by 11 cm. Moderate wear with a few short surface cracks that run like short veins not tears that cut all the way through and light soiling here and there. Bay State Card and Paper Company unknown books

Lana Turner is viewed from two angles wearing her couture dress suit matching bag hat and handkerchief designed by Adrian to publicize her noteworthy appearance in the musical extravaganza Ziegfeld Girl. Though set in 1920 the day wear made for the film's stars was definitely 1940s. So popular was Adrian for designing day wear such as this that he soon after stopped designing for movies and opened a couture shop where anyone could have a suit designed and made by Adrian.
