1840ref. 3417Through Russian Waters RUSSIA - TRADE FORMS. Vice Consolato di Russia. Manifesti cominciando dal 1840. Trapani 1840-49. Small folio pp. 196 of pre-printed shipping manifest forms of which 137 completed in ink; contemporary flexible vellum-backed marbled paper boards with ink-lettered label to upper board; corners bumped and spine a little chipped. Fine documentation of the maritime trade from the harbour of Trapani in Sicily. The manifest gives bills of lading from January 1840 to March 1849. The pre-printed manifests are completed in ink giving the name of the freight ship and its captain the destination and then details of its freight i.e. type and quantity of merchandise names of senders and recipients. Trapani boasts some of Europe's oldest salt marshes and salt extraction has been a major business for centuries which still flourishes to the present day. By the nineteenth century Sicilian sea salt was exported to European countries as far away as Norway and Russia. These shipping manifests document that it was sent to destinations as far afield as Constantinople Abo Stavanger Carlscrona Stockholm Bergen Odessa Reval and Riga. Clearly some of the shippers acted on their own account being both captains of the ship and shipper whereas others acted on commission. The shipping routes went through Russian waters which explains the accounts kept by the Russian Vice Consulate.

ref. 160111N.p.: N.p. 1977. Draft script for the 1978 film. Copy belonging to Lucile Jones credited in the film as a "friend who did everything" with her first name in manuscript ink on the title page. Laid in with the screenplay are three photographs from the set of the film: one black-and-white studio still photograph showing actors Bruce Dern and Jane Fonda and two borderless color reference photographs of director Hal Ashby with an unknown woman possibly Jones on the set. A key Vietnam-era film and one of noted director Hal Ashby's finest efforts. Ostensibly a war film "Coming Home" is really more about the lives of the women left behind during the war tracking the progress of a housewife who finds herself unexpectedly liberated in her husband's absence falling into an affair with a wounded veteran.
