Crivelli Luini Giorgione Moroni Landseer Mantegna and Perugino are among those who were left out of Great Pictures for lack of space. Even now looking at the two volumes together many favourite pictures will be missed; but it must be remembered how impossible it is to include within the limits of two small books every work that justly holds a firm place in the affections of all who love and reverence great art." ---- from the Preface.

1871réf. List3241Rhode Island Massachusetts and New York 1871. Thirty-two letters two apparently missing final pages; with fifteen pages of incomplete letter material. Excellent to Near Fine. Letters from some of the young ladies of the Hazard family primarily Gertrude Minturn 1843–1877 Anna Peace 1845–1868 and Esther Robinson 1848–d. Hazard with some from other family and friends. The family was descended from Thomas Hazard one of the founding settlers of Newport Rhode Island.1 The girls were educated and often write from school; Anna and Esther attend the ‘Friends School’ in Providence which is probably the Moses Brown School and Gertrude attends Dr. Dio Lewis’s School for Young Ladies in Lexington Massachusetts. Founded by Diocletian Lewis a temperance and physical culture advocate the school incorporated his exercise system developed to condition weaker individuals. Gertrude describes a regimen of thirty minutes of walking plus an hour and a half of exercise and discusses Dr. Lewis: “Dr Lewis gives familiar lectures on any subject which the scholars propose. He is a very pleasant genial man and takes part in the games & dancing with the greatest spirit. There are about 20 scholars. Some of them board in the village but are subject to the rules of the school. This building is very large and is mostly occupied by the patients of Dr Lewis’ ‘Movement Cures’ to whom most of his time is devoted. The scholars and patients associate together. Indeed we are under very little constraint the teachers leaving our actions to be regulated by our own sense of propriety; and they seldom find occasion to reprove the scholars for misdemeanors.” November 23 1864 Meanwhile Anna and Esther’s education is more on the religious side; Esther writes: “We have not been to meeting very often since we returned from our lovely visit to Newport but the first Sunday morning I did think all the time of it as I said I was going to. We were edified this morning by a sermon from Elizabeth Meader or rather a torrent of noise so that I am nearly deafened now. I don’t think I ever heard a more horrible combination of sounds from the mouth of any human being.” January 8 1865 Though speaking in tongues is most strongly associated with Pentecostalism it is not unheard of in Quakerism. In his book of genealogy and reflections the girls’ father Thomas Hazard 1797–1886 connects the family’s “strong religious tendencies” to his own interest in spiritualism.2 This interest in mediumship comes up several times in the letters first in 1864 when one of the girls reports that “Pa writes us that at a circle which he attended a few days ago a clairvoyant medium described our house at Vaucluse perfectly” February 24 1864 and later when one of the girls attends a circle with their father in Philadelphia: “Yesterday morning Pa & I had a sitting with a Mrs. Robinson a trance speaking medium. The communication from mother was the most beautiful I ever heard. She spoke to us just as she used to on earth using the same expressions. It seemed as if I could almost see her – we are going again on Monday.” February 8 1867 That is the pair spoke to Frances Minturn Hazard who had died in 1854. Of interest to researchers of the Hazard family and Rhode Island Quakers. 1 Caroline Elizabeth Robinson The Hazard Family of Rhode Island 1635–1894 Printed for the Author 1896. 2 Thomas R.

1930réf. 413180Ypsilanti Michigan / Virginia / California 1930. Softcover. Very Good. Oblong octavo measuring 8" x 6". 59pp. String-tied black leather over stiff paper boards. Contains 218 gelatin silver black and white or sepia toned photographs measuring between 2.5" x 1.5" and 4.5" x 2.75" with captions with additional ephemera from 1924 to 1930. Tears and chips with some pages detached but present thus very good with near fine photographs with tiny tears and creases. The photo album contains a plethora of photographs featuring Esther Davis and her adventures. Most pictures are of the three Davis daughters; Alice Rachel and Esther either posed or candid shots with their friends taken at Michigan State Normal College in Ypsilanti Michigan. Esther Davis is seen dancing and smiling with all her glee club members standing outside wearing fancy clothing or costumes and graduating high school and college. Esther Davis lived in the Bessie Leach Priddy House a sorority at Michigan State Normal College. While most of the pictures are from Michigan some are labeled from places in Virginia and California. Two of which feature photos of Mary Pickford on the set of Little Annie Rooney which was being filmed in West Hollywood California. Pickford was 33 at the time of filming but played a spry and determined young Irish girl. The movie became one of the highest grossing films of 1925. Pickford is seen smiling with the cast in one photo and then posing in the other. Both photos are fine with "Mary Pickford in ‘Annie Roonie" written on the bottom edge. An interesting collection of photographs from a young woman during 1924 to 1930 documenting her adventures with friends and family completing her education and her encounter with Mary Pickford. unknown
1919réf. 0009017Meadville Cleveland Youngstown Pennsylvania PA. Good. 1919. On offer is the 1919 diary of Esther A. Walling of Meadville Pennsylvania. She is a very proud and at that time female Railroad Clerk at the Erie Railroad Office. Her brother with whom she lives is Frank. He is also a railroad clerk and a person she loves very much. She goes to church on Sundays and is often on trips to Cleveland Youngstown and Jamestown for fun weekends of shopping and entertainment with her girlfriends or brother. There are just a few entries until late February in which Esther takes a trip to Cleveland with her girlfriends. "Saturday February 22 We went shopping today and purchased this book also the picture "On the River Tiber." We went to the play "The Girl Behind the Gun" this afternoon and in the evening went to the Hippodrome. Aunt Attie met us & we took her to supper in the old arcade. We stayed at the Hotel Winton." She seems to have some pretty strong union sympathies often going to "Brotherhood of Railway Clerks" later known as the Transportation Communications International Union and speaking enthusiastically of the meetings and the new members initiated during the year. The early 20th century was a high time for labor movements in America and it was not uncommon to find strong believers in unions at this time. In May she and Frank go to Chicago to meet their mother who is returning from vacation in California. They spend a few days in the city shopping seeing sights and meeting friends. The entries are fairly irregular in their frequency. They tend to be most regular when Esther is on a trip outside of Meadville. During these trips there are usually entries written everyday until she comes back home in which they resume the frequency of two or three entries every week. July and September are the most consistent with entries almost everyday. The summer is filled with work small weekend trips meetings of the "Brotherhood" and much small town entertainment such as parades fireworks concerts and leisurely drives in her brother's 1919 Ford. In mid-October Esther takes a nice vacation with her girlfriend Hazel They go to Washington D.C. first and take in the famous sights. "Took sightseeing car around Wash. visited Capitol museum etc. In afternoon we went to Arlington VA. saw the wireless station where the time is sent daily over the country and many historical places." They go from Arlington to Mt. Vernon and visit Washington's home then off to to Philadelphia where they see the Liberty Bell and other attractions. From Philadelphia they move on to New York getting in at Grand Central Station. They do not stay long in the city as they have a same day train to Boston. "Monday October 20. We went in Sightseeing car to Lexington & Concord. Most interesting trip we took. Saw Harvard College and went in John Hancock's old home; saw homes of many authors poets and noted people." A few days later they are back home in Meadville. The rest of the year is back to normal for Esther. Esther's handwriting is simple and easy to read done mostly in ink with the exception of a few entries near the end of the year. The front and back cover are slightly detached from the paper. Mild age-toning to pages and some discoloration caused by newspaper clippings pasted to a few pages throughout the year mostly about birth and wedding announcements. There is also a small piece of ephemera in the book a letter from the office of D.G. Snodgrass M.D. that reads "July 27th 1918. Rec'd Esther Welling one dollar for vaccination. D.G. Snodgrass MD." Why this letter is in the book is not noted. Examples of text: "Thursday March 6. A number of other Erie girls & I attended the annual Fried Turkey supper at the Baptist Church this evening. Fine supper. After the supper we went to on Centre St. where an assistant organizer attempted to organize a local lodge of Railroad clerks." ; "Tuesday April 22. Went to lodge "Brotherhood of Railway Clerks" tonight. Good attendance. Nineteen new members were taken in and several names proposed for initiation at next meeting."; "Saturday August 16. The first annual picnic of the Erie RR Shops & Offices was held at Celeron today. Special train of 19 coaches left at 8:15 A.M. returning on special train leaving Jamestown at 11:30 P.M. There was a terrible storm & cyclone at Celeron."; "Sunday September 7. Slept till 10:30. Willie came up to attend the clam bake at Oakwood Park for Bessemen employers. An aeroplane passed over the city this A.M." Background - As related in the August 1919 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine the USRA found that nationwide 101785 women were working at railroad occupations at the high point of female employment October 1 1918. The Erie accounted for 11 percent of that total employing 10274 women in various job categories. On the Erie the largest category employing women by far was clerical: 81 percent of the female workers worked as clerks stenographers draftswomen and assistants and ticket clerks.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF ESTHER WALLING FRANK WALLING MEADVILLE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD CLERK ERIE RAILROAD OFFICE BROTHERHOOD OF RAILWAY CLERKS TRANSPORTATION COMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL UNION LABOR MOVEMENT IN AMERICA WOMEN IN UNIONS WOMEN IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT IN AMERICA RAILROAD WORKERS INTERWAR PERIOD IN THE UNITED STATES WOMEN POST WW1 WOMEN WORKING IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY SUFFRAGE SUFFRAGETTE PRE SUFFRAGE FEMINISM WOMEN'S STUDIES GENDER STUDIES PRE FEMINIST ERA POST WORLD WAR 1 AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL AMERICANA ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

1895réf. 0001725LYCOMING COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA STEUBEN COUNTY NY. Good. 1895. On offer is the super original manuscript diary handwritten by Esther Marie Gernit Bullock b.1852 who lived in or around Lycoming County Pennsylvania or Steuben County New York. She is married to Francis Joseph Bullock and they have four children; Charles Edgar Walter Herbert Allen Gernit and Edna Maria. This is a very large very full diary measuring about 7 ¾" x 13" with 250 pages of daily entries covering September 30th 1897 all the way through to April 6th 1900. We learn that three of her four children are no longer living with them or soon on their way out. This greatly affects Esther and on many occasions she talks about being so lonely and missing her children greatly. The family moves two times during the time span the diary represents but only to a different house or location in the village. The boys seem to work for the railroad and she doesn't like it at all because of how dangerous the work is. Frank is retired but seems to be looking for work. There is also talk of the Spanish American War her first grandchild born to Charles Edgar her grandmother Bullock passing away and the funeral traveling to the near by villages talk about how the New York Central Railroad Company has taken over the Fall Brook Central RR Company line Cyclone flooding and so much more. On numerous occasions she says her days are "terrible and tedious". She also writes a very intriguing entry on October 6th 1898 telling that something so terrible has happened and filled them all with so much grief that she can't write it down. Here are some snippets: 1897 "October 4th Froze hard last night and was real cold this morning. Warm in the afternoon. Frank helped me wash in the forenoon. After dinner he went over town. Walter went to Hornellsville to see about getting on to the Erie road but it seems as if I never can stand it to have another boy on the railroad. It has caused me a great many tears and unhappy hours. I rather he would do most anything else. Edna went over to Charles Edgar's a little while. He got back from Williamsport about noon." "November 18th Snowed and blowed. Frank is not much better. Walter worked but was so rough Allen did not start out. Charles Edgar invited us over there to eat dinner with them. It is a year today since they were married and it seems a long year to me since he went away from home. He ought to have gotten back from his trip about noon but it was nearly night but we did not eat dinner until he came. Edna got dinner and supper here at home. Jarvis expects to go to work in a few days." "December 2nd Pleasant but cold. Walter worked in shop. Jarvis and Allen have found work and are going to begin tomorrow. After diner I went over to Charles Edgar's a while. He has to go to Williamsport tonight. Frank came home from the 4 roads tonight. He says Foster is very sick. Dr. thinks he has typhoid fever and they are very much worried about him." 1898 "February 16th This has been a terrible tedious day. The wind blew very hard and snowed all day. There are some drifts around the house. I dreaded to have Walter go to work this morning. It is not quiet so tedious this evening but will be a cold night and Charles Edgar goes to Williamsport. I am afraid he will suffer with the cold." "March 5th Real pleasant. Frank worked for Mr. Buck. Walter and Allen worked. Mrs. Saxton went home this afternoon. Frank and I went over on Bridge Street to look at a house. We have decided to rent but do not know just when we will move. Mr. Lamb owns the house. It is only a little ways from Charles Edgar's so we went up there a few minutes." "April 6th Cold and snowed nearly all day. We have had a hard day. We finished moving. Charles Edgar and Walter both helped or I don't know as we would have got through today. Libbie came over and helped me straightened around some. She and Charles Edgar put down the carpet in my room and the boys and made up the beds. If they had not I am afraid we wouldn't have got much done for I am tired out and sick. I wish Allen could have been here to dinner then we could have all eaten together. Charles has gone to Williamsport tonight." "April 21st Cold again and rained some. Frank and the boys worked. Charles Edgar and Libbie have not got back from the 4 Roads yet but I shall be glad to see them. Edna went over town this afternoon and while she was over there she heard that war has begun between the United States and Spain. And the papers are all full of war talk. There has not been a battle yet but everything seems to be about ready." "April 22nd Rained nearly all day and has been a cold day. Frank and the boys worked. Charles Edgar and Libbie came and I was ever so glad to see them. Frank Edgar Allen and I went up there a little while this evening. Everybody seems to be excited over war. We read in the papers tonight that the United States had captured 2 Spanish vessels." "May 1st Real pleasant and is the warmest day we have had but is raining again this evening. Charles Edgar got back just as we had dinner ready so he and Libbie stayed to dinner with me. The boys Edna and Glenn and I went over to the Erie depot this evening to see 5 train loads of soldiers on their way to war. It was a sad sight. Walter went down to Elmira on his wheel in company with several others to see the soldiers start from there. He says it was a solemn occasion." "May 2nd Rainy early this morning then the sun shone out for awhile but it soon began to rain again. Frank did not get in a full day but Walter and Allen did. This evening Edna Glenn and I went up to see the Fire Building to see the fire works. It is all war excitement. They raised a flag on the building. Some more Corning boys enlisted but I am happy to think none of mine are on the list." "July 8th Very warm. Frank and the boys worked. Charles Edgar has been down home a while. Mr. and Mrs. Sonnerson started for New York tonight and tomorrow afternoon the ship will sail that will carry them back to their old home Denmark. I was sorry to have them go for they are nice people." "September 7th Rained nearly all day. At the time we were having such a terrible rain here last night down to Troy 4 Roads and Springfield Pa there was a terrible cyclone. The greatest damage done at any one place was at Steve Brace's. His large barn blew down killed Will Brace and 14 of their cows and 3 horses. It must have been an awful shock to his parents." "September 18th About 5 o'clock this morning we had a hard thunder shower but soon cleared off and has been a nice day. Walter started for the 4 Roads about 20 minutes of 8 this morning on his wheel and expects to get there about noon if he has good luck. Tomorrow will be father's 79th birthday but they will have the gathering today at Edgar's for some of them could not be there tomorrow. It makes me very unhappy to think I could not be there. I never failed but once before. I hope Walter will get there in time for dinner." "October 4th Cloudy but did not rain until toward night. Frank worked. Allen has been around home. Oh how many more tears will I have to shed over my family I cannot bear to have one of them away from home but a few days at a time but this afternoon Walter has gone to Avoca to run a barber shop that is if he likes it there. Of course I want all of them to do what is best for them but Oh! How lonely I will be. Charles Edgar went to Lyons." "October 5th Rained hard nearly all day. And it has been fitting to the happenings and what did happen I never will write for everyone of us are bowed with grief but I believe the day will come ere long that we are all happy together for that is my prayer. Frank nor Allen worked. Charles Edgar went to Lyons." "December 25th Christmas and it has always been a merry one to us before this but today tears take the place of joy. Of course I am so glad the other children could be here but poor Allen. Oh How I miss him. Walter came home and Charles Edgar and Libbie came down. Emma Shaw was here too. All seemed to be pleased with their presents and I am sure I was with mine for they were all very nice but I must have Allen home before next Christmas. Walter and Edna were going to church tonight and they coaxed me to go with them." 1899 "January 19th Very pleasant but chilly. Frank worked. Charles Edgar went to Lyons. Libbie came up and took dinner with us and at noon I stared for the 4 Roads. She went over to the depot with me. At half past 5 o'clock this afternoon I got here at the 4 Roads. Allen met me at the depot and Oh! How glad I was to see his dear face. Every time I looked at him it seems as if I am dreaming. Julia Stuart Dell and Edgar are all sick. Edgar is under the Dr.'s care. I have been sick all day but fell better tonight. Jesse Bullock's folks have a daughter It was born the morning of January 19th." "March 1st It has been a beautiful day but tonight the wind blows like a storm. Frank worked but his foot isn't any better. Charles Edgar went to Lyons. Edna was over home this afternoon and went over town of an errand for Frank. I went with Mrs. Lindsey this afternoon down to the Congregation Church to a funeral of an old man who died in the Insane Asylum. It is no one that I knew but his name was James Littlefield." "April 18th Very pleasant and quite warm. Frank commenced work at the mill. Charles Edgar did not get back from Williamsport until 5 o'clock to night but ought to have been here about that time last night. I got very nervous about him but they were waiting for cars. I went up to his house this morning a little while. I had a letter from Allen he says Warren Gernit has enlisted in the war and is on his way to Manila. Edna is over to Mary Nichol's yet." "April 28th This has been a beautiful day but the wind blew hard. Frank worked. Charles Edgar went to Williamsport. I suppose this will be his last trip for the Fall Brook Company for next Monday the New York Central will take possession of the road and will be known as the Pennsylvania division of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. Edna and I cleaned house. This evening she has gone to a party." "June 9th Rather cool all forenoon but think it is some warmer this afternoon. Charles Edgar went to Lyons this noon. Mrs. Smith Housel Nell Westcott died this forenoon. Her baby was born the next day after Libbie's and it seems so sad she must die and leave it. I have been down to Charles Edgar's this afternoon. Frank worked." "July 2nd Toward night after it got cooler I went up to Charles Edgar's but hadn't been there but a few minutes before Frank came after me and had a dispatch from Edna and wanted me to come to Watkins tonight for she was sick. Of course I hurried around but it was only 10 minutes before the train would leave but I went over hoping the train would be late but started before I got there. Now I shall have to wait until morning but it don't seem as if I ever could " "July 3rd Awfully warm but I am so thankful I didn't have to make the trip to Watkins. Edna got home here about 11 o'clock last night. She had a bad time with her heart and they were so frightened about her that she sent for me but she was some better and came home. She doesn't look as if she would be able to go back very soon." "November 18th Froze some last night but has been a lovely day. Frank worked. Charles Edgar started for Williamsport early this morning but before he got there he got hurt and had to come home. He fell and struck on his foot and cut it open so he had to go to the Dr. and have it sewed up. It is a great wonder it didn't break his neck. It scared me terribly when I saw hat had happened but I guess it will get along all right. This is the third time I have had to write in my book of an accident to him since he had been on the road. And I pray that this is the last trouble he will have. We were all invited down there for supper as it is their wedding anniversary and we went and stayed the evening too. Coral Paine brought his phonograph up there and we had some fine music but we would all enjoyed it better if it hadn't been for Charles Edgar's accident." Many names are mentioned: Mary Nichols Ida and Olive Edwards she says that Olive took poison and died Emma Shaw Frank Jarvis Foster and Lill King George and Kate Cornell Saxton Mahlon Nichols Lamb Holmes Ellenberger Cole Sonnerson Blanch Fries Billy Hope Hollenbeck Townley Dr. Lane Lindsey Ned Hallstead Ed Hogaboom Dr. Miller Elder Fuller Dutcher Colvin Prof. Blodgett Zelda Mulligan and more. HISTORICAL NOTE: The 1880 census shows her in Springfield Bradford County Pennsylvania but they have moved since the census was taken because in this diary she mentions going to places such as Dundee Avoca Williamsport Lyons Elmira and it looks like Murray Hill is close to them so I'm not quite sure exactly where she is in Pennsylvania or New York. They must be close to the border too because most of the towns are along it. The diary's cover is very worn and torn but the pages and binding are very good.

1910réf. 21516San Francisco presumed 1910. Fine. A striking dimply composed full body watercolor portrait of a young Chinese American by Esther Hunt an artist who specialized in Oriental subjects and above all else the denizens of San Francisco's Chinatown. The young woman is in traditional dress with a colorful parasol above her head positioned like a halo. The parasol is the only prop and it provides a sweet contrast to the "debutant". The painting is indeed titled "The Debutante". We think the title was intended a little tongue-in-cheek as the subject looks to us as if she is pre-adolescent. That said the title should not be deemed in any way snarky or sarcastic; an artist might have entitled a painting of such a young person of any background standing in this manner similarly. And here one could interpret the girl's inscrutable expression and stillness as suggestive of a maturity beyond her years. The visible portrait or frame window is 20 by 17 cm. The frame itself 33.5 by 30 cm. The frame is quite thick -- not quite 6 cm. We don't know when the painting was done but probably early 20th Century. We arbitrarily have dated it 1910. Hunt took an unconventional approach to marketing her paintings. She often sold through Gumps a well-known San Francisco-based jewelry and housewares store still in business today. One should not think she was lesser as an artist as a result of that. She certainly had the best art education conceivable. She studied at the Mark Hopkins Institute and the New York Art Students League and at the latter under William Merritt Chase. unknown
1906réf. 21246San Francisco presumed 1906. A charming painting by Esther Hunt an artist who specialized in Oriental subjects and above all else the denizens of San Francisco's Chinatown. And not to be shortchanged is the Orientalist frame obviously custom-made for this particular painting and is itself a pleasurable decorative object in and of itself but also working with the painting and as a good frame should do catching the eye and directing it to the painting. The painting here is a quintessential Hunt portrait and its custom frame is of a type one finds with other Hunt paintings -- we don't know whether she also designed the frame but we suspect she indeed did that as well. We date the painting to a penciled note on the back which indicates that the painting was purchased at Gumps on April 16th 1906. Gumps is a well-known San Francisco-based jewelry and housewares store still in business today. This reinforces our sense that Hunt was a painter who sold her paintings in a wide variety of venues outside of tony art galleries. That said she studied at the Mark Hopkins Institute and the New York Art Students League and at the latter under William Merritt Chase. The painting on canvas visible portion is 65 by 40 cm. The frame was done by a highly skilled artisan. Unfortunately we do not know who created it nor whether Esther Hunt had a hand in its design.
