It was taken in front of Winchester Hall then part of Yale's Sheffield School of Engineering. The building is no longer standing but we have included an reproduced image of the building for the new owner's reference. Much like medical class photographs which are prized for skeletons and other medical oddities collectors prize surveying instrumentation in Civil Engineering class photographs. This one has lots of great surveying instruments including four instruments on tripods surveying sticks an axe and a model of a bridge span. Several equations are chalked on the building pillars. "FUNDAMENTALS" is chalked on the street in front of the subjects. Photographs this large are very scarce on the marketplace this is the largest we have owned in the last 15 years. A fine addition to any surveying civil engineering Yale or Connecticut collection. Roger Sherman Studio unknown books
1913rif. 1266351913. Ireland: June 16-18 1913. Small lined notebook 11x17.5 cm 56 pp. orange card covers titled by hand spine reinforced with tape. Approx. 28 pages filled with neat ink manuscript entries illustrated with four small original sepia photos and a hand-drawn folded map tipped to inside of front cover. Covers a little worn contents age-toned but entirely legible. § A delightfully detailed record of an amusingly rushed school trip to Ireland made by an English schoolboy in 1913. The boys and several masters departed from Stonehouse in Gloucestershire it seems likely they attended Wycliffe College prep school and travelled by train to Fishguard in Wales and from there by boat to Rosslare Harbour in Country Wexford Ireland. Then by train char-a-banc a governess cart ponies and finally boats they tore across the south of Ireland to Killarney and back in a single day. The dutiful author of the journal prepares for the trip with several lists: "General time-table" "List of required articles" including "change of socks.cup soup-plate. rug if room" "Things to be noticed" Waterford Harbour Mountains Lakes Cattle Grazing. and a very thorough plan for "Meals" cornflakes chocolate bananas squashed fly biscuits. The journal itself is neatly written and full of detail particularly of the various vehicles Irish trains get a thorough review and his glimpses of "real Ireland". Four small mounted photos show a bridge in Kerry viewed from a boat Ross Castle "A Jaunting Bar" a kind of horse-drawn carriage and happily "the Author" who appears to be in his early teens. The star of the journal is a large folding map of the trip carefully hand-drawn and keyed and mounted inside the front cover. unknown books
1965rif. 221061965. EducationIntegration Los Angeles public school panoramic photographs 1965-1968 showcasing racial integration and diversity in East Los Angeles during the Civil Rights era. Created at a time of expanding desegregation efforts and increased visibility of Chicano and Sansei Japanese identity in urban California the images provide direct visual evidence of multiracial student populations in a major West Coast school system. Three panoramic silver gelatin photographs showing Hollenbeck Junior High School Classes of 1965 and 1967 and Roosevelt High School Class of 1968. Los Angeles California 1965-1968. The large-format images measuring between 25 x 8 inches and 28 x 8 inches present hundreds of students arranged in traditional panoramic format on school grounds. The Roosevelt High School Class of 1968 photograph includes a visibly diverse cohort of Latino Black Asian American and white students in graduation attire distributed throughout the composition without apparent segregation by race. The Hollenbeck Junior High photographs similarly depict multiethnic student groups with period dress including uniform-style dresses collared shirts ties and sweaters. The versos of the 1965 and 1967 Hollenbeck prints contain numerous handwritten inscriptions from classmates including signatures and messages such as "Good luck in the B-10" and other personal notes. The presence of Spanish surnames including Roberta Noriega situates the photographs within the predominantly Mexican American community of East Los Angeles and documents peer networks within that setting. These photographs correspond to a period preceding the 1968 East Los Angeles student walkouts when Mexican American students protested educational inequality making them materially relevant to the study of pre-activist conditions within these schools. The integrated compositions and inscriptions together document both institutional structure and interpersonal relationships offering layered evidence of how students experienced race identity and belonging within public education. Light surface creasing and minor soiling to versos; images remain sharp with strong contrast and minor edge wear no losses. Overall very good condition. A visual record of multiracial student life in East Los Angeles. unknown books

Wear and some tears and loss at folds with toning and stains some with marginal damage. Very good to excellent. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School had a number of publications including The Indian Helper The Red Man The Red Man and Helper The Indian Craftsman and The Arrow. The latter was founded in 1904 when William A. Mercer became superintendent after the school's founder Richard Henry Pratt left the position. The paper's motto describes it as "A Paper Devoted to the Interest of the Progressive Indian" and the very first edition states that its aim is to "become a medium for the best thought obtainable upon all sides of the Indian question" Vol. I no. 1 August 25 1904. Offered here are four issues of The Arrow all Vol. III: no. 9 October 26 1906 no. 11 November 9 1906 no. 16 December 14 1906 and no. 40 May 31 1907. Contents include sports news-Carlisle was known for its football team-news from current and former students school events poetry and short articles. Football is almost always front-page news and the paper typically reports big wins for Carlisle which one article describes as "Bringing Home Another Scalp" Nov. 1906. Football news is also a place to emphasize the importance of obedience for instance "'Pop' Warner had his men under good control and as event after event was pulled off the value of efficient coaching and strict compliance with instructions was plainly manifested"; May 1907 a theme which is reiterated in a number of the articles. Students provide updates on school events both religious and secular and brief updates on individual students at home and away such as "Louise Hardin who is out in the country at Mt. Airy Penn. writes that she likes her place very much. William Garlow one of our baseball twirlers is under the weather. His friends wish him a speedy recovery." The Arrow also reprints articles from other newspapers about the school such as a November 1906 article from the New York World which describes the school: "The Indians in the school range from little tots six years of age to grown men and women who have been at the institution for a dozen years. They represent every tribe in the United States. Many of the youngsters are just entering the state of civilization while those in the graduating class are fine specimens of the modern educated Indian." Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center hosts digitized copies of the school's publications; we find no physical holdings on OCLC.

1928rif. 182801928. Randall Studio. University of Michigan Medical School student and faculty portrait 1928 documents racial and gender inclusion within a major American medical school during a period when African American and women physicians remained sharply underrepresented in medical education. The portrait supports research into professional training race gender and institutional access in interwar medicine especially because the group includes one African American man and four women among 82 students. The University of Michigan had admitted women beginning in 1870 and Sophia B. Jones became its first African American woman to earn a medical degree in 1885 giving this later class portrait added relevance within the school's longer history of medical education and inclusion. Silver gelatin photograph by Randall Studio. 1928. 22 x 18 inches. Mounted to photographer's board. The large-format image shows 82 students and faculty arranged in individual portrait format including four female students and one African American student. The scale and formal presentation identify the photograph as an institutional record of a medical cohort rather than a casual class image. The photograph captures a visibly limited but historically meaningful presence of women and an African American student in elite medical training before mid-century civil rights reforms. Small 1.5-inch tear to one corner barely affecting one of the 82 images; very small chips to side and top edges not affecting text or images; very good. Strong visual evidence of race gender and professional formation at the University of Michigan Medical School in 1928. unknown books

British Indian railway and military administrative staff photo archive circa 1930s to 1943 documenting the trained Indian clerical instructional stores and supervisory personnel who operated institutions central to colonial transportation and wartime logistics. The principal photograph depicts the instructional and clerical staff of the Railway Training School at Bina the first Area School established by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway which operated there from 1926 until its transfer to Bhusawal in 1962. The two dated portraits extend this administrative record to the Rawalpindi Arsenal in 1942-43 and the Cantonment Board at Ambala in 1941 placing railway education beside military supply and cantonment government during the Second World War.

Leslie-Mold president of the Cantonment Board at Ambala on April 25 1941 with British military officers and Indian civilian officials identified beneath the image.

Railway schools developed as the expanding colonial network required standardized instruction in traffic control station procedure accounting freight handling signaling and the clerical routines through which trains goods and personnel were coordinated across long distances. Railways allowed the British administration to move troops rapidly supply cantonments and arsenals connect agricultural and mineral districts with ports and impose common schedules and bureaucratic procedures across the colony; they also created a large Indian technical and clerical workforce whose knowledge kept the system operating. The portraits record this institutional hierarchy with European officers occupying senior positions while Indian instructors accountants clerks store employees and subordinate officials form the numerical body of each organization. Surface wear toning rubbed edges corner losses and occasional marks to the mounts; photographs remain generally clear and well defined. Overall in good condition.
