1843rif. BK0115Jackson Michigan 1843. Broadside 7 ¾ x 10 ½ inches. Single sheet printed in black. Old folds with short separations and small losses at several fold intersections and along the edges with general handling wear good overall. An early Jackson Michigan broadside issued by S. T. Carr offering ten dollars for the return of a wallet lost two days earlier on the road between the tavern of W. H. Monroe in Jackson and the Parma House. Carr describes the missing property in some detail: "A CALF-SKIN WALLET containing about sixty dollars in cash mostly in small bills one thirty dollar note and some papers of no value to any one except the owner. The inside of the wallet was marked S. T. Carr." Carr directed that the wallet be returned to him at Monroe's Exchange promising the reward "and no questions asked." Carr and W. H. Munroe appear together again two years later in the early history of Michigan's iron industry. In July 1845 they were among the Jackson men who organized an association to explore the mineral country south of Lake Superior. That fall Carr Munroe Philo M. Everett and E. S. Rockwell traveled north as an exploring party. Michigan mining histories record that Carr and Rockwell working with an Indigenous guide located the iron outcrop that became the Jackson mine; Carr continued the final search for the outcrop alone. The Jackson association subsequently became the Jackson Mining Company one of the earliest enterprises to develop the Marquette Iron Range.1 1 T. B. Brooks "Geological Survey of Michigan.

1715rif. 019811Paris. Very Good. 1715. Map. Lovely engraved map depicting Mexico City in the early 18th century. Map is on a 10 ¾" x 15 ¾" sheet that was taken from Nicolas de Fer's "L'Atlas Curieux" of 1715; no content on verso. Date of map was printed in upper margin along with the sheet number "125" and title; content in French. Hand-coloring is still bright. Map has very light toning to edges but is otherwise clean. This detailed map depicts Mexico City when it was surrounded by water and was linked to the mainland by the famous causeways originally designed by the Aztecs. Also pictured are aqueducts and farms and about 50 locations have been numbered on the map but the key is not present likely printed on another page in the Atlas. A beautiful map. . unknown
1937rif. 234531937. Iron lung transport press archive documenting the movement of respirator-dependent polio patients through rail terminals ships ramps aircraft hospitals and Coast Guard facilities during the years before the Salk vaccine changed American polio care in 1955. The iron lung developed in 1928 by Philip Drinker and Louis Agassiz Shaw kept patients breathing when polio paralyzed the muscles needed for respiration. Fred B. Snite Jr. appears in several views as the nationally followed Chicago patient who contracted polio in China in 1936 and returned to the United States after a highly publicized 9300-mile medical journey. The group is strongest as a record of medical transport itself: nurses in masks uniformed officers attendants ramps crowds and captioned press slips show how survival could depend on coordinated movement as much as bedside treatment. Photo archive of 5 large silver gelatin press photographs approx 8 x 10 inches Chicago Seattle Port Angeles and related transport locations 1937-1951. Snite's respirator is loaded at a Chicago railroad terminal with his head visible through the front window while men adjust the wheeled carriage; another scene places the iron lung at a ship or dockside ramp surrounded by masked nurses uniformed officers and hospital attendants. A Chicago caption dated February 8 1939 reads "Iron Lung Kid and Bride Entrain for South" identifying Snite and his bride leaving for Miami Florida after their winter vacation. Another verso caption dated June 22 1937 describes his return to Chicago after transport from China where he had been stricken. A January 14 1951 Coast Guard caption identifies an iron lung flown from Seattle to Port Angeles to aid Eldon Tetum a 36-year-old logger stricken with polio. Polio epidemics made the iron lung one of the most visible medical machines of the mid-twentieth century especially before vaccination reduced annual cases after 1955. These scenes connect celebrity medical news to emergency public health logistics showing how mechanical respiration required attendants vehicles terminals aircraft and institutional coordination outside the hospital room. Press stamps pasted captions adhesive staining and surface marks visible on versos; images remain strong and readable. Overall in good condition. unknown

1694rif. M7337Paris: N. de Fer c.1694. Very Good; . Notes: According to Kershaw this map was originally published in "Les Forces De L'Europe" "In August 1690 Sir William Phips left Boston to attack and capture Quebec. Previous military success at Port Royal had given the English an excess of confidence which Phips fully exploited in planning his expedition against Quebec but which quickly evaporated when the under-equipped force discovered the extent of the defenses at Quebec. The operation was disastrous and the English struggled back to Boston losing a number of ships on the way. The battle lines of the English fleet and the details of the French defences were recorded by Villenuve in manuscript form which were subsequently the source of a sequence of printed maps."
