1787rif. 4368Lisbon: press of the Royal Academy of Sciences 1787. Narrow 4to 209 x 118 mm. 8 xiii 3 175 pages. Title-leaf fol. 2 present in duplicate. Folding engraved plate of a mechanical silk loom; titles with woodcut arms of the Portuguese Royal Academy of Sciences woodcut and typographic headpieces occasional slight discoloration small wormtrack in the folding plate. Contemporary cat's-paw polished sheep covers with gilt border spine in six gold-tooled compartments the second gilt lettered edges gilt and gauffered recased endpapers renewed defect in top spine compartment a dozen small wormholes. Provenance: António Romão dos Passos 1866-1951 signature in ink Antonio Passos / agronomo or Anto R. Passos scrawled across both titles the first with price note and on six text leaves. Only edition of a comprehensive overview of the Portuguese silk industry by the judicial magistrate of the Moncorvo district and author of several works on political economy and history of law. José Antonio de Sá d. 1819 a native of Bragança was an important proponent of modernization of the industry and later served as director of the Royal Silk Factory Real Fábrica das Sedas founded in 1802 in Lisbon. He was one of the earliest members of the Academia Real das Sciencias of Lisbon. Silkworms were raised in Portugal as early as the 13th century. Sericulture and silk production were concentrated in the northeastern province of Trás-os-Montes its largest center being the city of Bragança which from the 15th to 17th century was known throughout Europe for its luxurious velvets. Because of the lack of government support for industry frequent wars and above all the persecutions of the Inquisition which decimated an industry in all sectors of which Jews or converted Jews cristãos-novos played a major role Portuguese silk production suffered from intermittent crises. Starting in the 1770s efforts to revive the industry began to have an effect: "By the end of the 18th century the Trás-os-Montes silk industry had dragged itself out of the crisis that had begun in 1750-1755 coinciding with the last incursion of the Inquisition into Bragança and embarked upon a period of great development accompanying the industrial expansion that was then taking place not only in that particular region but throughout the Portuguese kingdom. After the Inquisition's systematic persecution of businessmen weavers and throwers had finally come to an end the continuity and expansion of the silk industry seemed to be a viable prospect. In the last two decades of the 18th century a remarkable process of modernization took place thanks to the efforts of the businessmen involved in this economic activity such as António José Lopes Fernandes who installed 200 silk looms in Bragança magistrates such as José António de Sá and Pereira de Barros and politicians such as Martinho de Melo e Castro and Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho the latter being the Portuguese ambassador to Piedmont Italy. These efforts included the adoption of Piedmontese methods and techniques namely the organzine mill and the spinning-jenny the most advanced ones at that time in Europe in an operation led by experts coming to Portugal from that Italian region." Sousa p. 6 Sá's work is in three parts. The first part comprises an overview of the history of silk production starting with Antiquity and summaries of the industry and government policies toward it in other countries followed by a detailed recommendation with responses to projected objections that the Portuguese government undertake a campaign to plant mulberry trees and promote the industry generally. Part two is a treatise on the silkworm and part three a technical survey of "the art of silk spinning." Explained in the text pp. 142-148 is the letter- and number-keyed engraving of a rather fanciful machine showing a vat for softening the cocoons heating on the left from which a thread-unwinding mechanism feeds a loom on the right. The reason for the duplicated title-leaf in this copy is not clear. Perhaps one functioned as an upper wrapper - but as both titles are preceded by a half-title that appears unlikely. The book collector Antonio Romão dos Passos b. February 28 1866 was an engineer and agronomist. Other books from his library all on practical subjects are recorded; four are digitized by the Biblioteca Nacional Digital de Portugal. One a treatise on hemp has a similar indelicately scrawled signature across the title. OCLC gives six US locations.

rif. 12998Various locations mostly Phoenix AZ 1980. 24 leaves illustrated with twenty-three mounted photographs plus dozens of mounted ephemeral items including letters documents certificates newspaper clippings and more plus a folder laid in containing television prompt copies. Folio. Contemporary brown vinyl scrapbook string tied. Minor overall wear some old tape stains to most items some items apparently re-mounted likely by a later friend or family member. Overall very good. A wonderful scrapbook celebrating the professional career of Evelyn Lorraine Thompson 1948-2005 on-air reporter and news anchor for KOOL-CBS Radio and Television and KTVK-TV in Phoenix Arizona in the 1970s. Thompson worked for KOOL straight out of college after graduating from Boston University in 1972. She was hired as a writer-producer for morning newscasts then worked as a full-time news reporter. Unusual for the era Thompson also served as KOOL's weekend sports reporter. She later moved to KTVK-TV also in Phoenix where she worked as a news anchor. We could find no other information about Thompson following about 1980 except for her brief obituary in the Arizona Republic. The present scrapbook provides a valuable snapshot of Thompson's life and early career through a range of original photographs showing her as a child but with the majority showing her during her working years at KOOL and KTVK. The album also includes numerous letters to Thompson from a variety of correspondents thanking her for stories congratulating her for her positions at the news news releases and other documents announcing her personal appearances newspaper clippings when Thompson appeared in the paper either for a story or as the subject of a story and so forth. The scrapbook even includes the prompt copy of a speech given by her before sorority students at Northern Arizona University. For a deeper look at her life as a reporter or anchor a number of additional prompt copies of some of Thompson's stories are gathered in a manila envelope laid into the scrapbook. The scrapbook also includes award certificates most notably her award as one of the "Outstanding Young Women of America" in 1973. Altogether a unique assemblage of original materials documenting a trailblazing Black reporter and news anchor in the contemporary American West. unknown
1932rif. 234061932. New Deal-era western construction and industrial expansion across California Oregon and Washington recorded in an extensive family photo album with inscribed dates locations and details. The album records the surge of dam bridge road harbor and flood-control work that followed Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal public works programs. The photographs record the individual impact of the 1935 Emergency Relief Appropriation Act the Works Progress Administration and earlier Public Works Administration funding which helped push thousands of men into construction work is documented. This album's years align with the federal agencies and private contractors shift to reshape western rivers harbors roads and transportation infrastructure. Photo archive of 469 photographs mostly silver gelatin photos and with some real photo postcards ranging from 2.5 x 4 to 5 x 7 inches California Oregon and Washington Arizonia 1932-1938. The album includes extensive handwritten captions identifying Monterey California breakwater work in 1932 Azusa road construction in San Gabriel Canyon in 1933 Bonneville Oregon in 1934 Monterey Bay dragline work in 1934 San Francisco and Oakland Bay views Hansen Dam shovel work and family travel between Encinal Washington and Oakland. Monterey pages record a shovel loading rock trucks lined for breakwater work a first load of rock dumping rock from a pier and Monterey Pier from the water. Azusa pages show a slide covering a shovel a truck being let down a steep hill by cable road cuts through canyon rock and named men beside heavy trucks. Bonneville pages show "Dolph & a new Mack truck" four new Mack trucks a new car beside a shovel men standing inside a shovel bucket and a "50 B drag line" on the Columbia River. Additional construction scenes show electric shovels steam shovels loading trucks workers in quarries tug crews draglines extending over water trestle rail lines partially framed industrial buildings in San Francisco in 1937 and captioned men including Key Dolph Bill Reid Pat Al Bow Irving Pinky Hamlistall and George Lamblet. Travel and family pages add a 1936 Oldsmobile camp trailers ferries Treasure Island and the Bay Bridge Oakland camps Warrendale and Bonneville family portraits sailors at a beer hall Columbia River Highway views and domestic scenes that place construction labor inside a wider pattern of westward automobile mobility. This album records the overlap between large-scale public works and ordinary itinerant life: heavy machinery quarry crews draglines trestles cofferdams dump trucks travel trailers and family stops all appear. Many photographs document domestic life from family gatherings to celebrations of new born babies. At its core this album depicts regional power planning flood control military and commercial harbors and the creation of automobile infrastructure which permanently altered the West Coast and Columbia River basin. Bonneville and Grand Coulee brought hydroelectric capacity irrigation planning and federal power policy into the center of Northwest development while the Bay Bridge and related Oakland-San Francisco work changed metropolitan circulation around the bay. The captions repeatedly tie people to machines and locations suggesting a family or work circle moving through construction jobs rather than a tourist album with incidental industrial views. Edge wear chipping album leaves worn spine and many loose pages; images remain clear captions remain legible and securely mounted or associated with their original pages. Overall in good condition. This archive documents the New Deal-era western construction through quarry faces truck yards draglines ferry crossings trailers named workmen and families following the work from site to site spanning the Bay Bridge to Hansen Dam. unknown
