1925rif. 12981Laredo TX 1925. 118pp. of content of various types including thirty-six photographs most once in mounting corners but now loose plus 41pp. of manuscript inscriptions to Gonzalez an original drawing and various kinds of mounted ephemeral items. Contemporary scrapbook 8.75 x 6 inches. Ownership signature on early page. A well-used personal scrapbook lacking spine and rear cover front cover detached and with significant wear. Front free endpaper also detached. Some photographs somewhat worn but contents generally sound though dust-soiled. Good condition overall. A unique record of a young Texas woman Elena Gonzalez and her experiences as a senior at Laredo High School in 1925 containing numerous photographs a legion of manuscript messages to her from fellow students and dozens of ephemeral items related to her educational experiences in a prominent Texas border town. The book includes thirty-six photographs which mainly picture Gonzalez and her fellow students in individual portraits small groups and class photos almost always in outdoor settings. The photos also include two slightly larger studio portraits of Gonzalez each measuring about 8 x 5 inches. The work also includes about forty pages of manuscript inscriptions from fellow students to Gonzalez dated mostly in March and April 1925. Many of the messages take up most or all of an entire page with Gonzalez's classmates sharing memories funny stories good wishes for the future and so forth. Interestingly but not surprising considering where Elena lived several of the manuscript inscriptions are written in Spanish. In addition to the personal inscriptions to Gonzalez the book also contains an eleven-page "Prophecy of the Class of 1925" handwritten by Phyllis Ellis "Prophet of Class of '25." The prophecy was "read in the Laredo High School Auditorium Thursday night May 21 1925 by the writer." Ellis's prediction for Elena is as a model for the Tar Soap Company "to pose for magazine pictures showing the benefits of their products to one's hair." The photographs and manuscript elements are complemented by various kinds of ephemeral items including calling cards programs program clippings mementos from school events clippings from school publications and newspapers including numerous jokes and funny story clippings in both English and Spanish and so forth. Though the condition of the memory book has seen better days the fact that it survives at all is a feat in itself. A wonderful primary source for Mexican-American life in the borderlands. unknown books

Very good. 32 leaves illustrated with many dozens of ephemeral items mostly school-related printed materials newspaper clippings and greeting cards pasted in or laid in. Folio. Contemporary dark green cloth backstrip light green boards with floral illustration inset into front cover string tied. Moderate scuffing and edge wear to boards. An intriguing scrapbook assembled by a young Black woman named Willia Lucille Pettiford of Jamaica Long Island while attending the African-American Mary Potter Academy in Oxford North Carolina in the late-1930s. The scrapbook is populated with dozens of newspaper and magazine clippings of notable African Americans as well as famous performers a combination of Black and white stars of the stage and silver screen. Willia pasted in excerpts about W.E.B. Du Bois Ella Fitzgerald Gladys Bentley Florence R. Beatty Mary McLeod Bethune Paul Robeson and others. Willia also included several printed event programs invitations and notices from the school including a hand-made program for the Mary Potter Athletic Banquet on April 25 1938; a May 3 violin recital sponsored by the Oxford Music Lovers' Club; a May 13 1938 "Oratorical Contest" at the school; an April 17 1939 performance of the "Oxford Music Lovers' Club;" a May 13 1939 meeting of the Young People's League of the Cape Fear Presbytery; and the Mary Potter School's baccalaureate exercises for both 1938 and 1939. She also cut out portions of the school newsletter or yearbook and used them in the scrapbook. "Mary Potter Academy was launched in 1889 with George Clayton Shaw as principal a post he held until 1936. Shaw was born to slaves in Louisburg in 1863. His mother Mary Penn Shaw had been provided what he described as 'a fairly good education' and she instilled the importance of education in her six children all of whom became educators. George Shaw graduated from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania in 1886. He studied at Princeton Theological Seminary before completing studies at Auburn Theological Seminary New York in 1890. While in New York Shaw met Mary Potter secretary to the Presbyterian Freedmen's Board and benefactor of the educational improvement of freedmen. Potter provided funding to establish the first school for African Americans in Granville County Oxford where in 1888 he founded Timothy Darling Presbyterian Church. Called Timothy Darling for Shaw's teacher until 1892 the school was funded by the Board of Missions for Freedmen New York Synodical Society and Albany Presbytery. It would later serve as a private boarding school until the 1950s then as a public high school until 1969. In 1970 Mary Potter became an integrated middle school" - NC.gov. unknown books
1932rif. 12881Lawton Ok. 1932. Panoramic photograph 8 x 28.75 inches. Some staining along border with a few spots in the image area a few small chips and creases. Good plus. A striking panoramic photograph featuring several dozen Native American students along with some faculty at the Fort Sill Indian School in December 1932. The Fort Sill Indian School was founded in 1871 with twenty-four students and two employees. Within ten years the school had many more students and seventy-five employees to manage the facility. The present photograph emanates from the era of the Great Depression and features both male and female students from early grades to teenage years. A handful of white teachers are interspersed within the student population. The subjects of the photograph are arranged seven rows deep and are posed in front of one of the school buildings in a rather sparse rural setting. "Because the school was located near Lawton before World War II Fort Sill's student body was made up largely of Indians from western Oklahoma -- Comanche Apache Caddo Kiowa Delaware and Wichita. This changed dramatically in the postwar era however as Navajo from New Mexico and Arizona began to be admitted. Within a few years they comprised 80 percent of the student population. The influx of out-of-state Native students gradually declined and by 1970 more than two hundred of the school's three hundred pupils hailed from Oklahoma. Until the 1950s the curriculum for males consisted of vocational and agricultural training and females received instruction in homemaking. Thereafter Fort Sill emphasized more of an academic curriculum although vocational trades remained important. Students who attended Fort Sill came away from the boarding school with impressions that ranged from downright hatred of the school to enduring fondness for it. For some the strict discipline and harsh punishment meted out at the institution made it feel more like a prison than a place of learning. Being away from family and tribal communities made the experience even more alienating. Others however enjoyed their time there making lifelong friends participating in extracurricular activities and remaining Indian despite attempts by the government's educational machinery to grind it out of them" - The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture. OCLC is silent on other examples of this photograph. unknown books

1808rif. 6471Guadalajara: Apud Mariannum Valdez Tellez Giron 1808. Good. Three stitched fascicles totaling 30 manuscript leaves and fifteen printed broadsides and broadsheets completed both in manuscript and in type. Some folded. Straight vertical cuts from foot of one fascicle. Some dust soiling and toning; scattered damp staining and foxing. A few separations along folds of printed sheets. Head of some printed sheets trimmed away effecting some loss. A fascinating combination of printed and manuscript material relating to the completion of baccalaureate requirements for degrees in divinity from the University of Guadalajara in the early 19th century. Present here are three stitched fascicles each relating to a different student that contain manuscript attestations from the candidates themselves and university professors as to the individual's achievements as well as printed copies of their degrees and other official documents from the university bestowing honors upon the recipients. Each recipient was conferred a copy of their degree completed in manuscript and affixed with the printed seal of the university attesting that after four years in the study of "Sacrae Theologiae" he had achieved the rank of Baccalaurens. Then the three students Gabriel Sanchez Leñero Joaquin de Valdecañas and Miguel de Talaveras received different printed broadsheets completed to varying degrees in type and in manuscript according to their specific studies and accomplishments. In all we identify eleven different printed forms and broadsheets none of which are located by Medina or OCLC. Most bear the imprint of Mariano Valdes Tellez Giron the first printer of Guadalajara who worked alone in the city from 1793 to his death from an epileptic seizure at the end of 1807 making the present job work some of the last printing completed by this important printer. Some of the broadsheets printed on two joined leaves and folded into each fascicle have been trimmed at the head with the loss of some material including engraved illustrations. Nevertheless the present documents represent a trove of previously unrecorded early job printing from Guadalajara. Apud Mariannum Valdez Tellez Giron unknown books

The prefatory 'Address to the People of the United States' written from Wheeling VA in November 1833 warns that the future of the Republic requires "the adoption of some plan that may afford to the great mass of citizens the means of intelligence which will ever remain an unbroken link in the preservation of our Liberty." The author proposes that the Public Lands be "a perpetual fund for the support of Education." AAS comments that the author uses essays "taken from the late work of E.L. Bulwar" to support arguments for funding public schools in the United States with revenue from public lands." Sabin 93914. AI 18015 5. Norona 226. E. W. & L. D.

1930rif. 1574Berlin: Deutsche Buch-Gemeinschaft 1930. First Edition. Publisher's half leather. A very good copy; some spotting to the cloth. 8vo. There are numerous half tone plates. An omnibus work that addresses the nurture psychological well being and education of young children. The rather poignant introduction describes a situation of perverse contradictions in attitudes toward children and child rearing in then present economic depression. The family men women educators physicians and state are not blameless. Each bears a responsibility for the prevalent attitudes. The text is composed of essays by experts from medical legal and educational and human welfare professions. It is a most unusual book in that it is not a child rearing guide but rather a well reasoned plea for generosity and compassion in providing a humane community through which children could achieve a level of beneficent adulthood.

1719rif. 5206Madrid: M R de Murga 1719. First Edition second state - plates numbered. Contemporary limp vellum. Good; old ink stain to p. 74 has resulted in the loss of a few letters; some margins close but complete; binding worn; text block beginning to split. 4to. There is an engraved title frontis. with four saints engraved portrait and 39 engraved plates. A sought after book in which the author departs from usual forms of calligraphic art and presents it as a geometrical science. It is the first Spanish writing manual listed in the Hofer catalog. Harvard has two copies both defective. The copy offered here is according to Palau Hofer and others complete with the maximum number of plates. Palau suggests that early issues of the book may have fewer plates. The author was an orphan born in 1663 raised by the schoolmaster of his native town Mostoles. He was to become famous as a creative and inventive and favored member of the court as well as a didactic writer on art a mathematician architect and instructor of fencing. An impressive work with plates illustrating the laying out of dials and the mathematical basis for various letter forms. This resulted in a lengthy and detailed text that is most uncommon for this kind of book. The engraving throughout is elaborate and elegant. Only one plate is signed by the engraver Juan Bernabe Palomino; Cotarelo assigns all the engraving to him. The state results from the fact that the plates are numbered consecutively - Harvard has a defective copy without the numbering. What is of special interest is the crucial significance see Corbeto of such books and especially Aznar de Polanco on the early development of punchcutting in Spain during the formative mid-eighteenth century. The in depth analysis of the ' letra grifa ' - a cursive type - is directly attributed to Aznar de Polanco.
