1918Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original pictorial wrappers. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 59 p., 23 unnumbered b/w plates. Occasionally fading on pages. Otherwise a very good copy. First edition of this extremely rare first science fiction book discusses the biological probability of the possibility of life on planets in the Solar System, with semi-fictional texts, in the light of scientific knowledge at the time of publication. Osman Nuri Eralp was a Turkish veterinarian and microbiologist. Eralp was born in Istanbul in the Ottoman Empire. He completed his university education at "Mekteb-i Tibbiye-i Mülkiye" which was the medical school of Darülfünun [i.e. House of Multiple Sciences, name of Istanbul University in Ottoman era]. To continue studying for a post-graduate qualification, he attended Sorbonne and Pasteur Institute. After graduation, he worked as a veterinarian while continuing his research studies. After the declaration of the Constitutional Regime in 1908, he worked as a full-time academic at Istanbul University and Ankara University. He lectured on histology and embryology. Eralp contributed notably to the field of bacteriology via his research on microorganisms (tuberculosis, anthrax, cholera, syphilis, gonorrhea), and the field of virology by his research on rinderpest. He wrote the first science fiction book in Turkey titled "Baska dünyalarda canli mahlûkât var midir" [i.e. Are there alive creatures in other worlds?]. (Wikipedia).

1875réf. 37864N. P. 1875 -1900. RAILROAD. Thirteen plate glass negatives portray engines from the short-line and short-lived Boston Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad. The narrow gauge railroad began taking passengers to and from East Boston and Lynn in 1875. At East Boston those wishing to continue to Boston proper took a ferry across the harbor. The railroad ceased operations in 1940 following a decrease in ridership after the Great Depression and the rise in the automobile. The railway was known for its “Mason Bogie” steam engines also nicknamed “Coffee roasters.” Plates are in varying conditions; some show little rubbing and others are quite distressed. Photograph numbering is arbitrary.Slides depict Engines 3 4 5 9 12 and 19; several are duplicate or very similar: 1. Engine #3 “Jupiter” Left 3/4 view. 1877. Copy by J. Foster Adams 2. Engine #4 On passenger train @ Revere Beach found in Fred Kyper collection 3. Engine #5 “Leo” Right 3/4 view from the rear 4.

1890réf. 227691890. Chinese American Boston Chinese American cabinet card circa 1890s a formal studio portrait produced during the height of the Chinese Exclusion era. Created in Boston around or shortly after the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act the photograph provides evidence of Chinese American presence in New England and self-representation in the diasporic community through dignified and professional portraiture despite legal and social marginalization. Chickering Elmer. Chinese American man portrait. Boston: Elmer Chickering Studio circa 1890s. Albumen cabinet photograph mounted on original cardstock. The sitter is depicted in a composed frontal pose wearing a dark high-collared suit associated with middle-class professional attire of the period with a carefully styled mustache and direct gaze. The photograph conforms to late 19th-century studio conventions in lighting posture and presentation aligning the subject visually with the formal portrait norms of Boston society clientele typically served by Chickering's studio. The mount verso bears the printed mark "The Original Chickering Photographic Studio" identifying the maker as an established Boston portraitist known for photographing actors public figures and affluent patrons. The choice of studio and format indicates intentional participation in mainstream visual culture positioning the sitter within a framework of dignity and social assertion. Produced during a period when Boston's Chinese community was small and concentrated in the South Cove now Bay Village this portrait is especially significance by its timing amid exclusionary federal policy and local discrimination. Chinese Americans in the Northeast during the late 19th century are infrequently documented in formal studio settings particularly by high-profile commercial studios. The photograph contributes to the limited visual record of Chinese American life in the region illustrating both the constraints of the exclusion era and the presence of individuals navigating and asserting identity within those conditions. Minor edge wear to mount; image clear with strong tonal contrast. Overall very good condition. A significant example of Chinese American studio portraiture in the late 19th-century United States. unknown

réf. 5815SIEGE OF BOSTON. The Siege of Boston lasted from April 1775 to March 1776 when the British withdrew from the city. General Henry Knox hauled captured cannons across Massachusetts in the middle of winter to fortify Dorchester Heights and the British knew their position was unsustainable so they retreated to Nova Scotia.DS. 1pg. 6 x 2 . September 15 1775. Winter Hill Somerville Massachusetts. A document signed Benja Tuck concerning wages; this was written during the important Siege of Boston. Tuck communicated: I Benj Tuck Do give this order to Capt. Moses Leavitt to Draw what wages is Due or Shall be allowd to me for Being in the American Service Benj Tuck. The reference to the American service is relatively early coming nine months before the Declaration of Independence and three months after Bunker Hill. This phrase means that the soldiers saw themselves as part of a different military than the British Army and this was three months after the Continental Army was officially formed. Moses Leavitt 1745-1803 was a Continental Army officer from North Hampton New Hampshire and later a general of their militia as well as a state senator. Tuck was most likely a soldier from New Hampshire. Winter Hill is a part of Somerville Massachusetts and important during the American Revolution. In 1775 British troops marched on Winter Hill to attack a powder house owned by the patriots. Just after Bunker Hill wounded Continental Army soldiers were hospitalized there. The document is housed in a contemporary frame; there is the usual foxing and soiling and a vertical fold. unknown
