19028vo. 6 pages, plus 2 large folding diagrams. A rare separate offprint printed for the Royal Geographical Society. Publisher's blue titled wrappers, string-tied and bearing the society's crest. Some light foxing, otherwise in very good and original condition. The author, a respected astronomer and well-known authority on comets, renders praise to the primary research and calculations of Major S.C.N. Grant in 1896, which forms the basis for his dissertation. With meticulous and detailed instruction Crommelin presents a simplified method to predict and decipher the instantaneous and momentary occultation of stars which greatly simplifies the detremination of Longitude at Sea. He further introduces the application to the Solar Eclipse phenomenon. Exceedingly rare dissertation by an important nineteenth century astronomer. Six years prior to Crommelin's study, Grant published a six page report and illustration, titled "Diagram for Determining the Parallaxes in Declination and Right Ascension of a Heavenly Body, and its Application to the Prediction of Occultations." Crommelin was famed for his computations of cometary orbits. He took part in expeditions to observe total solar eclipses in 1896, 1900, 1905, 1912, and 1927. In 1919 he participated in the solar eclipse expedition to Brazil which aimed to determine the amount of the deflection of light caused by the gravitational field of the Sun. The results from these observations were crucial in providing confirmation of the General Theory of Relativity, which Albert Einstein had proposed in 1916.

1902réf. 236271902. Early twentieth century American travel photograph album with accompanying handwritten identification notes circa 1900 to 1905 documenting the travels of the family of Texas & Pacific Railway official C. G. Warner through the railroad steamship and hotel networks that connected the American Southwest with Europe during the mature era of international leisure travel. The accompanying manuscript key identifies family members railroad scenes buildings and destinations throughout the album transforming anonymous travel photographs into a documented record of an identifiable railroad family. The notes further preserve family tradition explaining that Warner traveled to Europe in 1902 for medical treatment providing a narrative framework that links the railroad photographs Atlantic crossing and European views as a documented journey. Photo album of silver gelatin photographs various sizes most approximately 3.5 x 3.5 inches the largest approximately 6.25 x 8.25 inches United States Europe and Mexico circa 1900 to 1905 accompanied by four pages of handwritten identifications. The opening sequence depicts repeated group portraits posed around Texas & Pacific locomotive no. 21 including women standing on the pilot smokebox running boards and cab additional views of the locomotive in profile railroad employees passenger cars station scenes and the Railroad Young Men's Christian Association building. The handwritten notes identify C. G. Warner in multiple railroad photographs and suggest he served as a director of the Texas & Pacific identify Elizabeth W. Douglass in an early family portrait distinguish mail or express cars identify Warner's private railroad car and name additional family members including Aunt Libbet Anna Warner Clara K. Green Clara Kooser and H. B. Kooser. The journey continues aboard the American Line steamship SS St. Paul including deck scenes crew members harbor views and a large commercial photograph of the liner under way. European photographs include the Arc de Triomphe the Paris Opéra lakeside towns and grand hotels in Switzerland the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben in London streetscapes waterfronts public gardens and prominent civic buildings. Family members appear throughout in formal portraiture seaside recreation hotel grounds and informal gatherings while additional photographs record Juárez Mexico and substantial American residences photographed before departure. The handwritten notes record that C. G. Warner Aunt Juliett and Aunt Libbet sailed on April 2 1902 returning on June 3 after spending most of their journey in France with a shorter stay in England and state that Warner traveled abroad because of poor health to "take the baths." The notes further preserve family recollection that contemporary newspapers reported Warner "derived much benefit from two months' rest" before spending time in the Gould offices upon his return to New York placing the photographs within a documented episode in the life of a named railroad executive rather than an anonymous vacation. Viewed alongside the photographs the manuscript identifications establish people places transportation infrastructure and chronology substantially strengthening the documentary character of the album. Red stained leather album with black pasted decoration; pages 7 and 9 loose binding heavily worn album leaves toned photographs clear and firmly adhered. Overall in good condition. A documented visual record of one American railroad family's movement through the interconnected rail steamship and hotel systems that carried affluent travelers between Texas New York Mexico and Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. unknown books

1940réf. 182459Manila: 1940s. A graphic album showing fighting in the Philippines the Marshall Islands Papua New Guinea Guam the Solomon Islands and Palau. The compiler chose to include violent images displaying the brutality of the campaign. The album opens with portrait shots of individual Marines or groups along with photographs of American encampments and ships. The scenes then turn more distressing with images of dead locals including children lying on the beach or next to tanks. The photographs were taken across the Pacific theatre: one shows an American soldier holding a flame-thrower on Kwajalein Atoll another shows a beach landing at Luzon and a third shows a Marine posing next to a sign in Bougainville. Most were taken in the final years of the conflict including at Guadalcanal and Peleliu. There are also shots of the end of the war one showing a Japanese soldier surrendering with a white flag and another showing Japanese prisoners of war in a camp in Guam. The final photograph is the most famous "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" showing six Marines raising the US flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima. This photograph won the 1945 Pulitzer Prize for Photography. The majority of the photographs are commercial with a few opening portrait shots of the unidentified compiler. Oblong folio 286 x 390 mm. With 55 gelatin silver photographs one lacking approximately 90 x 130 mm landscape or portrait corner-mounted with tape recto and verso on 7 leaves remainder blank. With 2 additional gelatin silver photographs loosely inserted.

Place names included Zion Town the old steel bridge built in 1888 followed by a new Steel bridge which opened later in 1912 the Plank/Old Canyon Road Laurelhurst and others. Of particular interest beyond most maps of Portland during the era this map delineates a significant portion of Vancouver Washington prior to the construction of the Interstate Bridge across Hayden Island as well as inroads into portions of Northwest Portland and Washington County in the Southwest. Fritsche 1877-1928 was an intrepid German-American photo-lithographer architect printer and later photographer who first arrived in New York before coming West to the Pacific Northwest in 1907 where he set up an architecture and engraving firm with his brother Rudolph Fritsche. Wenzel is perhaps best remembered as architect of the historic Henry C. & Wilhemina Bruening House Craftsman bungalow located at 5919 North Williams in Portland’s Humboldt neighborhood erected in 1910. However by 1914 Wenzel had returned to Manhattan with his family including one son and three daughters. Worldcat locates 5 copies U of IL Boston Pub. OHS Reed U of O.

1939réf. 214021939. Four wartime pamphlets and periodicals 1939-1945 documenting American interpretations of Japanese expansionism prewar economic policy debates and U.S. military operations in the Pacific Theater. The materials illustratr how military governmental and institutional publications framed Japanese imperial strategy and justified American military response while also presenting technical and battlefield analysis intended for both military and informed civilian audiences. These works collectively offer insight into wartime messaging strategic interpretation and the evolving American understanding of Pacific conflict from prewar trade tensions through active combat operations. Four printed works issued between 1939 and 1945 including Shall America Stop Arming Japan 1939; Japanese Imperialism Exposed: The Secret Tanaka Document 1942; United States Naval Institute Proceedings Vol. 69 No. 485 May 1943; and Makin U.S. War Department 1944. Staple-bound and softcover formats illustrated with photographs maps charts and technical diagrams. Shall America Stop Arming Japan presents statistical charts detailing American exports of strategic materials noting that Japan sourced significant percentages of copper scrap iron and petroleum from the United States accompanied by arguments advocating embargo. Japanese Imperialism Exposed reproduces the controversial Tanaka Memorial describing a proposed sequence of territorial conquest beginning with China and extending across Asia and the Pacific. Makin issued by the War Department's Historical Division provides a detailed narrative of the U.S. Marine assault on Makin Atoll with photographs of tanks infantry movement and captured terrain alongside fold-out maps showing defensive positions and invasion routes. United States Naval Institute Proceedings includes articles analyzing naval aviation logistics and strategic doctrine with photographic illustrations of aircraft such as the XLRQ-1 seaplane glider and PV-1 Ventura patrol plane as well as discussions of wartime and postwar naval policy. Together these publications trace the progression of American engagement with Japan from economic and diplomatic tension to full-scale military conflict combining advocacy intelligence interpretation and operational reporting. The juxtaposition of prewar policy argument with wartime combat analysis and technical discussion demonstrates the range of printed materials used to inform persuade and document during the Pacific War. These works support research into wartime propaganda military strategy and the informational frameworks through which the United States understood and prosecuted the war against Japan. Light wear to spines and edges with minor toning to pages; overall very good condition. A cohesive grouping illustrating the intersection of policy debate ideological framing and battlefield documentation in World War II print culture. unknown books
