rif. abaa-vbf1937A collection as found in a folder of 67 pieces of original abstract designs done by 2 women. The work is either collage with construction papers or very colorful pastel designs. This probably dated from the 1930's to early 1950. Almost every piece is signed by either artist. I could not find any info on either artist and Moscow Utah was a mine in the 20th century. The artwork is really striking.

1832rif. 0001757CHESHIRE CONNECTICUT CT. Good. 1832. On offer is an original 1832 manuscript copy book handwritten by Nathaniel Oliver Cornwall specifically related to his study of sailing navigation and astronomy relative to a life at sea. The 44 pages include a number of drawings adding depth to this early 19th century study of nautical education. Mr. Cornwall 16 years old at the time of writing goes on to an interesting career as a medical doctor turned dentist. Further details follow. Overall G. BIO NOTES: Dr. Nathaniel Oliver Cornwall was born in 1816 d.1903.

In 1833 he went to Episcopal Academy in Cheshire. In 1835 began attending Washington College and graduated 1839. After college Nathaniel Cornwall attended the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York State from which he graduated in 1846. After medical school he accepted a teaching job in South America and within a year decided to go into the medical field in Brazil. After an accidental meeting with a dentist also from Connecticut he decided to become a dentist instead of having a medical practice and for the rest of his career kept that as his profession while living in South America for the next 20 or so years. In 1860 on a visit home to the States he got married to Mary and the couple then returned to South America where his 3 children were born. He had two daughters one of whom died in infancy and a son Edward who became a NY physician. Dr. Cornwall retired relatively early in 1869 at age 53 and lived the rest of his life in Gildersleeve which is now Portland CT on an estate near the trolley line. The family originally had settled in Middletown and nearby areas in the 1700s.

Here are some snippets: "Washington College March 20th 1830 Half past 11 o'clock Have for several days been thinking to write a diary a practice which I have not followed since the first winter of beginning Greek at the goodly town of Cheshire. I wish I had continued it just for the pleasure of accounting to the many many pleasing and as a matter of course often unpleasing incidents of my stay there and to see again my daily progress in Virgil Cicero Sallust and the first elements of Greek which I used to set down with minimal regularity. I shall though never forget those scenes. They are engraved firmly on my mind and the place where I first learned to taste the beauties of Virgil and to enjoy the elegant productions of Cicero .But why am I that moralizing upon the classes and so pedant like talking of my own acquisitions in them I don't know but tis to make a beginning to my journal which would make but poor appearance over to self for whom alone it shall be written without and for a want of which it has been so long neglected I suppose." "March 30th 1830 Been very insolent all day as respects to study One week now and we shall be at liberty again. Next Wednesday afternoon will probably terminate my second term of college life. This term has passed rapidly with me and been very busy yet I find my mind frequently stretching to the end of it and welcoming its approach with an eagerness not a little unlike that of those who are less pleased with college than myself How swift are the transitions of thought! How constantly on the wing is our universal cheerer and consoler. Hope! Thus I am continually led into a train of moralizing and thus my consoling pen will run on ____ in publishing the wandering incipiencies of my brain ." The smallest journal measures about 6" x 7 ½" and the largest one 8" x 13". All of them have paper covers and most are in good shape with some foxing on many of the pages. The cover on one of them is very torn but all in all the pages and bindings look good. BIO NOTES: to Dr. Nathaniel Oliver Cornwall 1816-1903 was born in 1816.
