This unequaled archive of photographs chronicling the successful and colourful Vaudeville and entertainment career of Earl Mossman reveals wealth of musical and theatrical history from the Pacific Northwest during first album in this archive is largely devoted to Earl Mossman’s contributions and managing of his the first half of the 20th Century as well as impact on historic events. The chorus-line all-girl revue shows at the Frontier Village during the 100 day run of the Oregon Centennial Exposition. This re-created town from the 1870’s Old West featured the Golden Nugget dance hall & saloon as well as livery stable church post office and hotel and proved to be the most successful attraction. Mossman’s Can-Can girls put on daily shows and held dances where the daringly dressed women would dance with visitors and hired actors. The 1859-1959 Centennial Exposition lasted from June 10 to Sept. 17 on 65 acres along the Columbia River formerly Vanport wiped away in the tragic 1948 flood and also featured a Gayway Amusement Park Garden of Tomorrow & Adventureland. The photos depict not only Mossman’s Can-Can girl revue but also steam locomotives Modernist sculptures and murals by Louis Bunce and other Oregon artists as well as photos of the Mid-Century Modern Lumber Industry Pavilion and the striking Hall of Religious History in the Garden of Tomorrow which featured murals of Carl Morris. Also shown are neon sculptures the filled arena showing the opening ceremonies which featured actor Raymond Burr as master of ceremonies the Nelson Picket Dancers the Golden Nugget and Frontier Trading Post from the air and more. The second album includes as well more images from the Centennial as well as many from Earl Mossman’s “Productions” talent agency and entertainment group who supplied vaudeville dance and music acts such as Beverly Short Eleanor Malcolm Gary Marvin Ginger McClane Gwen Gibson Jerry Brown Freddie Keller’s Orchestra and Maury Meriweather’s Band to Portland OR and surrounding Pacific Northwest clubs and venues. Photos included here depict as well the Nelson Pickett Dancers The Glenns “originating new tricks in a dancing mood;” The Carsony Brothers; the Earl Mossman Girls featuring models from the Gloria LaVonne modeling agency; along with Walter Blacke Jacqueline Clark Earl Mossman’s Dolls for “Delta Dome” and more. Other notable names include Billy Daniels d. 1988 with photos of his ‘The Masculine Touch” recorded live at the Mocambo on the Sunset Strip well-known African-American singer form the mid-1930’s to 1986 who launched his career in the Harlem Renaissance; along with Jeanne Gayle who sang with Bob Crosby and starred in the Great Gildersleeve 1954 Jack Nagel and even Shirley of the Hoti PocaDot Bikini Contest.The many photos also depict Mossman meeting and greeting celebrities rolling into Portland running for mayor of Portland OR he never won: touting and promoting the “Straw hat day May 15” by not only wearing straw hats himself but inducing his all-girl revues to wear as well along with leading parades including the 1972 Merrykhana Parade where he was appointed “King of the Parade.” Many of the images show him with many different canes drawn from his large collection signing contracts for the American Legion seated in limousines and Porsches and even attending dinners. One photo includes dinner guests of Miracle Oxygen which featured the editor of The Oregonian Dick Nokes Paul Hauron stage feature writer the Todds and others. Of additional interest are the photos of Mossman showing off his scrapbook filled with images from his long career as well as images while convalescing with his bevy of beauties in the Shriner’s Hospital in Portland OR. Mossman 1894-1976 was an Oregon native and grandson of Isaac Mossman who had fought in the 1855-1856 Indian Wars rode with the Washington Territory’s Pony Express out of Walla Walla and was the first Washington Territorial librarian in 1870. Earl Mossman began running away from home as a young boy to perform in taverns and saloons in downtown Portland later worked for Pacific Power & Light Co. as an office boy and in 1913 after marrying his childhood sweetheart Catherine Groos launched his career on the Vaudeville Circuit. He initially played with the Basco Comedy Co. and later with Connie & Mack’s and the Bert Levy Circuit. Walter Winchell coined him as the “Beau Brummel of Broadway” during the 1920’s and by the 1930’s was performing with Norma Lawton in Broadway productions such as “The Dancing Producer” and performed with his partner Ray Vance at the Lotus Isle Amusement Park and the Peacock Ballroom. He would marry five different times performed at civic activities Rose Festivals and beauty pageants across the Pacific Northwest.Over half the photographs in this collection were shot by Allen J. De Lay photographer with The Oregonian from 1947 until the newspaper strike of 1960 who was not only an extraordinary photographer but also musician and competitive swimmer. He is perhaps best remembered for his photographs of the darker seamier side of Portland in the post-World War II era. Other Oregon photographers represented include Maxwell Allara Paul Blixt Kirk Braun Bill Gray Hodge Kennell-Ellis Verne Lewis Alfred Monner Dick Slater Don Thompson Donald Wilson and others. Of particular interest are noted theatrical photographers such as Bruno in Hollywood and James J. Kriegsmann 1909-1994 celebrity & theatrical photographer from 1929 to the 1980’s. We could find no similar archive of Mossman related photos in any institutional holdings except for a few images.

Frontispiece and 3 other plates to volume I 7 plates to volume II 4 of them accompanied by plans headpieces vignettes and facsimiles to the text double page pedigree to volume. 375; 511 pp. 2 vols. Imperial Quarto. "One of the main foundation stones of the Nelson legend" Wilson 'Nelson Apotheosised' in Cannadine ed. Admiral Lord Nelson "the 'official' biography" NMM. M'Arthur a former naval purser had served with Nelson in the Mediterranean and had already begun collecting material for a biography when he saw "an advertisement in the papers announcing that the Nelson family had selected a gentleman 'of high respectability and rank' to write the life and asking all who had letters . in their possession not to make their material available to anyone else." McArthur came forward claiming groundlessly that Nelson himself had asked him to write his life and that he had already incurred considerable expense in preparing the book including the commissioning of a set of paintings to be engraved as illustrations. An unseemly squabble ensued the outcome of which was fairly inevitable in that Earl Nelson was under pressure from the Prince Regent to commission his librarian and chaplain James Stanier Clarke to write the book. It was agreed that the authors would pool their efforts but not before they had further fallen out over whose name should come first on the title page. That we do not refer to McArthur & Clarke is a lasting memorial to the usefulness of a powerful patron. The finished work is wonderfully illustrated with anecdotal head-pieces and plates by Westall and battle-scenes by Nicholas Pocock. The subscribers list is a remarkable directory of the great and the good of Regency Britain with an inevitable emphasis on naval notables. William Beckford took a copy on vellum - one of two "one of which was burnt" - Sir Home Popham and Admiral Keats proof copies as also Admirals Cornwallis and Anson Earl St. Vincent and Lady Hamilton. Thomas Masterman Hardy had an ordinary copy as did the Sandwich Book Society and Leeds Circulating Library. Highly desirable thus. Cowie 137; NMM II 921 Printed by T.

Extremely rare collection including 83 issues of 99 of this journal of the Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine. This is one of the seven important periodicals published starting in 1916 by the Istanbul Darülfünun which was the first Turkish academic institution in the modern sense. Due to World War 1 this journal was published at irregular intervals and after the Alphabet Reform 1928 it switched to the new script starting from the January-June 1929 issue. Therefore this collection consists entirely of early issues printed in Ottoman Turkish using the Arabic script. The journal published by the professors of the Faculty of Medicine included many prominent figures in its editorial board: Ziya Nuri Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Laryngeal and Otic Diseases Ismail Dervis General Secretary of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Obstetrics and Midwifery Tevfik Recep Professor of Histology and Embryology and Sevki Professor of Philosophy. In the same issue Sadettin Vedat Assistant Professor of Surgery is also recorded as the Secretary. Over time these names underwent some changes. For example in Year XV No. 1-2 1933 under the heading of Editorial Board Nasir Heyeti the names Akif Sakir Akil Muhtar Hamdi Suat Ihsan Hilmi Kenan Tevfik M. Hayrullah Necmettin Rifat Neset Ömer Server Kamil Süreyya Ali Tevfik Recep Ziya Nuri Fazil Serafettin and Tevfik Remzi appear. In this issue Behçet Sabit and Muzaffer Esat Bey are also listed under the title of Editors-in-Chief Tahrir Müdürleri. Again on the inner title page of this issue there is a list of the Editorial Board Tahrir Heyeti composed of 36 members. Some examples of articles in the collection that can be considered scientific contributions to the literature: The first article published in the first issue How Digitalis Takes Effect by Akil Muhtar 1877-1949 immediately draws attention. In this important study known as the "Usskof Experiment" and recorded in Turkish medical literature Akil Muhtar Özden proved for the first time in the world that digitalis when taken orally begins to take effect after one and a half hours and reaches its maximum effect after three and a half hours. A summary translation by Mustafa Hakki of Celal Muhtar Özden's 1865-1947 famous article titled On the Trichophytosis of the Hands and Soles Rahatü'l-yed ve ahmasü'l-kadem trikofisisi originally published in Annales de Dermatologie et de Syphiligraphie No. 8 August 1892 was printed in AH 1340 Issue 78. In this renowned article Celal Muhtar identified the Trichophyton fungus as the cause of a skin lesion observed on the hands and feet and presented the cases of trichophytosis he had followed.

New flawless: Isle of Man - Stone Age to Swinging Sixties - and oh yeah: also one 1977 PM Pobjoy Mint Isle of Man 1/2 Gold Sovereign MS 70 Grade. A pristine 2024 example of the best book there is on the Mystical Isle; the finest Mint State half soveriegn from the same inexplicable locale this one as rare as the place itself. Please review all images. 3.99 grams of which 3.6612 are pure gold - IE fineness is 916.7. A Nordic in fact Viking Warrior graces the obverse Brits might call it the reverse and Queen Elizabeth II is on the reverse. This is a genuine rarity even if it weren't in MS-70 "perfect" per grader's terms condition but it is. The two most respected grading / authentication / slabbing companies and most notably so for coins such as this are NGC Numismatic Guaranty Corp. and PCGS Professional Coin Grading Service. As of this listing NGC shows only 6 examples of this coin exist this being one of those that they have graded. PCGS appears to show none at all. No other such graded MS-70 appear anywhere internet or elsewhere - again as of this listing. But it's been that way for a long time. I've seen over the years some MS-68s and MS-69s listed in the range of $900 to $1200. But if you're even here looking - I don't have to tell you the magnitude of the value difference between a 69 and a 70 in the case of rare coins. But there is no true current market information on an MS-70. For now I have to leave this price as it is for now and either increase or decrease it if and when credible new information presents itself. The mystery in this one Just the mystery of the magical Isle of Man itself - which is a "British Crown Dependency" whatever that may be - small unique and full of folklore having arisen so they say from the antics of Buggane Fenodyree the Glashtyn the Moddey Dhoo - and no doubt more once lurked behind those. I personally feel the Tuatha Dé Danann must have started the whole thing. Can't guarantee that though. LSPC-0000007007 Pen and Sword Books Ltd unknown

A striking rococo binding in fine condition on a luxuriously printed and illustrated Office of the Virgin from the official Vatican press. From the mid- to late eighteenth century the Salvioni press used one or more bookbinding workshops that produced finely gold-tooled bindings for their Vatican publications. Although often referred to as the “Salvioni bindery” this appellation is circumstantial: ”the Salvioni firm was responsible for promoting the bindings but it is not known which workshop produced them” British Library Database of Bookbindings. Some of these “Vatican” bindings incorporated variously colored or mottled leather. This example with its basketweave cartouches relies purely on tooling for its effect. An example evidently from the same workshop on a book printed at Rome in 1791 by Salomini using analogous cartouches as corner-pieces as well as a similar “spiraling” border design and some of the same leafy spray and star tools is reproduced in Legature papali no. 264. “Whereas the . more flamboyant bindings produced by the Salvioni Bindery rely frequently on polychrome enamel heightening these Vatican bindings strike a somewhat more sober note with their very fine dark-red morocco and rich gold-tooling of high quality” Martin Breslauer Catalogue 107/428.

PERRY'S VISIT TO THE BONIN ISLANDSBiblio.com

Manuscript on paper handwritten title on upper wrapper: “Ajin chojutsu / mujinto kiji” “Written by an American / Observations from a Mission to an Uninhabited Island”

réf. 8050Hand-drawn double-page map of the Bonin Islands. 61 folding leaves. Large 8vo 268 x 200 mm. orig. wrappers stitched spine backed at an early date with matching paper. Japan: ca. 1860. An intriguing manuscript containing early Japanese translations of American reports drafted during Perry’s mission to the Bonin Islands Ogasawara-shima in June 1853 one month before he sailed into Edo Bay for the first time. It is a fascinating record of America’s colonial and commercial ambitions in the mid-19th century and Japan’s response. The volume’s upper wrapper bears the official seal onikki kata belonging to the Keeper of the Diary the functionary responsible for recording important events on behalf of the bakufu. We are uncertain how the Japanese obtained these secret American documents and when this manuscript was compiled. Perhaps it was composed after Japan’s 1860 Embassy to the United States when representatives were sent to Washington to negotiate a treaty between the two nations. Upon the return of Japan’s diplomatic mission the chief negotiator Yoshitake Kimura assigned a linguist Kudo Iwaji the task of translating the documents and books they had brought back. He also translated Perry’s Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan 1856; it remained in manuscript until 1912. Iwaji is mentioned twice herein as the compiler of our manuscript volume. Before Perry’s fateful incursion to Edo Bay in July he explored the Bonin Islands as a potential coal depot and resupply station for future travel and commerce between the United States and Asia. This manuscript is based on accounts of this expedition written by Anton L.C. Portman Perry’s Dutch translator and the American translator Samuel W. Williams 1812-84 an expert in Chinese and Japanese who are referred to several times in the text. Our high-level Japanese-government-produced report is divided into two sections based on these firsthand reports by Williams and Portman. At the beginning of the volume is a two-page manuscript map of the archipelago’s two main islands Chichi-jima and Haha-jima. The text offers a lengthy history of the islands and the various attempts by Britain and Russia to claim it. It is also filled with very detailed notes on the climate ecology natural resources etc. Portman’s portion has rather scholarly observations on some botanical specimens that were collected. All of this information on the archipelago would have been extremely useful to the Japanese when they made an official claim to it in 1862. Control of the islands was ceded to the United States after World War II and in 1968 returned to Japan. In excellent condition. Preserved in a chitsu. â§ Peter Booth Wiley Yankees in the Land of the Gods: Commodore Perry and the Opening of Japan 1990 pp. 204-14.

A collection of textbooks issued by the New Chinese Medical College of Shanghai Xin zhongguo yixueyuan 新中國醫學院 established in 1935 as the city's third modern medical school. The teaching faculty including many leading figures in the modernization of Chinese medicine sought to integrate traditional Chinese and modern Western medicine within a coherent pedagogical system.

THE FANTASY FAN: THE FAN'S OWN MAGAZINE

1933réf. 31883Elizabeth New Jersey: Charles D. Hornig 1933-1935. Darkening to cheap paper but pages quite supple the full set is attractively bound a full leather binding with front and spine stamped in gold. Complete sets are rare. 31883. Octavo 18 issues printed or self wrappers. The first important weird fiction fanzine and one of the most desirable of the fanzines of the thirties. For two years it published news and fiction related to the genre. Stories first published in THE FANTASY FAN include H. P. Lovecraft's "The Other Gods" and "From Beyond" Clark Ashton Smith's "The Epiphany of Death" "The Ghoul" "The Kingdom of the Worm" and "The Primal City" as well as tales by Robert Bloch August Derleth Robert E. Howard David H. Keller and others. THE FANTASY FAN was "an interesting mix of news articles stories poems and miscellany. Hornig however made an error in initiating a column of controversy entitled 'The Boiling Point' which quickly led to acrimonious letter exchanges between Lovecraft Forrest J. Ackerman Clark Ashton Smith and numerous others; the column was terminated with the February 1934 issue. Perhaps Hornig's greatest accomplishment was the serialization of the revised version of Lovecraft's 'Supernatural Horror in Literature' October 1933-February 1935. However the serialization proceeded at such a slow pace that it had reached only the middle of Chapter VIII before the magazine folded. THE FANTASY FAN also saw the first publication of Lovecraft's stories. 'The Other Gods' November 1933 and 'From Beyond' June 1934 as well as reprints from amateur papers of 'Polaris' February 1934 and 'Beyond the Wall of Sleep' October 1934; it also published 'The Book' October 1934 'Pursuit' October 1934 'The Key' January 1935 and 'Homecoming' January 1935 from 'Fungi from Yuggoth.' Brief excerpts of Lovecraft's letters to Hornig appeared regularly in the magazine's letter column. The October 1934 issue was dedicated to Lovecraft. After the demise of THE FANTASY FAN numerous attempts were made to revive or succeed it but no magazine truly filled its place as a news organ a forum for the expression of fan's views and a venue for work by distinguished writers in the field" Joshi and Schultz An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia pp. 90-91. "As a real help to the lover of weird and fantasy fiction Hornig's magazine reigned supreme in the field at that time . Almost every weirdist of importance in fandom was at one time or another represented in its pages. And as a love-feast for such fans it has never again been equaled" Moskowitz The Immortal Storm pp. 18-20. ". one of the legendary magazines of the 1930s . an extremely consistent and reliable magazine ." Tymn and Ashley eds. Science Fiction Fantasy and Weird Fiction Magazines pp. 822-23. According to Hornig writing in 1988 "THE FANTASY FAN was printed by Conrad Ruppett of Jamaica New York hand set. Julius Schwartz and I helped him collate and staple each copy every month for eighteen months. Except for the second issue 500 copies there were only 250 printed and the paid circulation never reached over 50. What happened to the residue Well I found someone to buy up most of the unsold copies and that was B. K. Gores of Austin Texas. I never heard from him before or since never knew him in fandom and don't know whatever happened to him. Somewhere there should be stacks of TFF unless they're destroyed."
