1836réf. List3741New York City 1836. Twelve documents totaling fourteen pages. See description for full inventory. Generally very good to excellent. Cary Ludlow 1736-1814 was a lawyer and merchant from the prominent New York City Ludlow family. In 1768 Ludlow had bought a property at 9 State Street on the Battery with plans to build a mansion there-lower Manhattan was becoming fashionable after the building of the Kennedy Mansion at 1 Broadway by Archibald Kennedy 11th Earl of Cassilis.1 However Ludlow was an ardently pro-Stamp Act Tory and because of this had to flee with his family to England around the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Upon his return in 1784 he began work on the 9 State Street mansion which was completed around the mid-1790s shortly after the marriage of his daughter Catherine 1767-1849 to Jacob Morton 1761-1836. Later New York City Comptroller and Major General of the New York Militia during the War of 1812 Morton-who also appears in these documents-had been the marshal at George Washington's first inauguration.2 After the Revolutionary War many of New York's high society were moving to lower Manhattan especially on Front Street State Street and Broadway around Bowling Green and the Battery.1 The collection of legal filings offered here document this process of gentrification: they show Ludlow purchasing multiple lots surrounding his property on State Street from members of the lower classes. In particular Ludlow buys lots occupied by John Roorbach a grocer and Richard Anders an oysterman. Roorbach and Anders may have been renters or partial owners as the deals go through Samuel Craig whose occupation is listed as "gentleman" Robert Tuite Kemble formerly an officer of the British Army3 Cornelius Rosevelt likely of the Roosevelt family; also listed as "gentleman" and others. Following Cary Ludlow's death in 1814 the 9 State Street estate passed to Catherine and Jacob Morton and became a social center for the well-to-do epitomized by the 1824 ball the couple threw for the Marquis de Lafayette. However after Jacob Morton's death in 1836 the house became a boarding house; by the 1870s the 26-room mansion was home to "twenty-six Irish families" and Battery Park had become a spot where "roughs played base-ball" and vendors sold "horrible sweetmeats wormy apples and villanous lemonade". 1 The documents offered here illustrate several features of life for the elite during the Early Republic era: first they are primary documents of the gentrification of a neighborhood showing the displacement of its lower-class residents and the consolidation of property in the hands of a small number of wealthy owners; second the names appearing in them-Ludlow Morton Kemble-indicate that other than a small blip during the Revolutionary War financial ties outpaced political ones.

1874réf. 41043Paris: Firmin Didot 1874. Fine. Firmin Didot Paris 1874 20 x 29.70 cm relié Fifth edition statement. Edition illustrated with 19 chromolithographs and 400 wood engravings. Publisher's binding in imitation of great Grolier-style bindings. Half dark green shagreen with shagreen-textured cloth boards. Corners slightly bumped. Very occasional light foxing. The interest of this work manifests itself both through its erudition and its accessibility and readability historical anecdotes. We owe it to Paul Jacob who was a great bibliophile a writer and scholar and the curator of the Arsenal library. If the entire series has become a great classic in the field it is because it successfully combines the work of publisher printer bookbinder historian illustrators and documentation and few books have ultimately achieved this amalgamation that we owe to Firmin-Didot at a time when books had become quite mediocre.

1719réf. F5OGBDYNZ8OAAmsterdam: Gerard Valk 1719. Very large engraved folding plan comprising 1 1/2 sheets measuring 46 x 83 cm as assembled engraved by Danckert Danckertsz. and his father after drawings by Jacob Vennekool including the two hemispheres of the world map and a celestial map of the constellations of the northern hemisphere each 10 cm in diameter. Very large engraved plan showing the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal of the Amsterdam City Hall designed by Jacob van Campen with a celestial map in the centre and the magnificent map of the world in 2 hemispheres on either side. The engraving was first published in 1661 and the map shows Tasman's recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania and depicts California as an island. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th-century. This engraved representation is all that is left of this cartographical work of art. Wear caused by people walking on the mosaic meant it had to be restored about a hundred years later. When in turn this restoration was damaged the two hemispheres were filled in with plain marble slabs without pictorial representation.The drawing of the floor was made by Jacob Vennekool who worked closely with Van Campen and since his drawings were first published even before the building was completed they may reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. They also of course show it before the alterations made at various times in later years.Slightly wrinkled in the right margin one fold reinforced and a few tiny spots otherwise in very good condition.l Cf.

In Yiddish with a Spanish title page. “German soldiers first passed through Ratne at the end of June 1941 but Nazi rule was established in the town only in July. Between the retreat of the Soviets and the arrival of German security forces and administrators locals plundered Jewish homes and businesses. Shortly after the Germans arrived they shot 27 Jews and 30 Soviet prisoners of war. Acting through the Ukrainian police they also introduced an array of anti-Jewish measures: Jews had to wear identifying armbands later yellow patches comply with a curfew hand in valuables including ritual objects and provide forced labor. It was forbidden for Jews to speak to Ukrainians. As early as July 1941 Jews from the countryside were already being relocated to Ratne. In the spring of 1942 a ghetto was set up there. After a partisan raid on Ratne in June 1942 the Germans shot more than 110 Jews along with a few Ukrainians. The Destruction of the Jewish Community. In August the Germans recruited Ukrainian peasants from Prokhid to dig pits at a nearby sand lot. On August 26 the ghetto was “liquidated” by a unit from the Gestapo outpost in Brest supported by the local German Gendarmerie post and Ukrainian auxiliary police force. Although several hundred Jews fled before they could be taken to Prokhid. Many others hid in the ghetto. Most were eventually caught and murdered as well. Between 1 300 and 1 500 Jewish men women and children were killed during this operation. A few dozen skilled laborers were left alive and employed in a workshop. They were shot in February 1943.” protecting-memory.org 2018 SUBJECTS : Jews -- Ukraine -- Ratne. Holocaust Jewish 1939-1945 Ratno Ukraine -- Ethnic relations. OCLC: 38702086.
