1930réf. 176834Chefoo: Self-help Department Women's Bible School Presbyterian Mission c. 1930. A dainty album of handmade papercuts by Chinese students at the Ai Dao Women's Bible School attached to the American Presbyterian Mission in Chefoo. Throughout the 1930s the school produced various themed papercut collections to raise funds and comparison with other copies of the same title reveals that each was bound in brocade of a unique design. The collection tells the story of seven moral exemplars who all displayed obedience and respectfulness towards their elders even when faced with hardships. The story of Jiang Si is typical: "The mother of this boy demanded fish to eat every day and insisted that all their food be cooked in spring water. This kept the family hard pressed as the son had to waste half of each working day while fishing. His little wife had to make a long trip to get the spring water also. But they did this uncomplainingly till in appreciation of such devotion the fairies gave them a wonderful spring right by their door and in it each day they found two fish!" The education of women became a priority for social reformers in the wake of the May Fourth Movement and schools like Ai Dao were at the forefront of this revolution in education. Landscape octavo 181 x 234 mm ff. 8. Papercut showing a master and his student mounted on title page 7 similar papercuts with captioned glassine guards. Original decorative silk brocade black thread xianzhuang stitching edges untrimmed. Explanatory sheet loosely inserted as issued.

1785réf. 3784Founding of Harvard Medical School The Boston Magazine was published from October 1783 to December 1786 and was the first magazine to be published in Boston in the aftermath of the American Revolution. A major attraction of this issue is the presence of the front and rear printed wrappers although they are frayed and detached. The front wrapper features a large woodcut of the State House and surrounding buildings in Boston.The first 3 1/2 pages of the Magazine are Harvard's announcement from September 1783 of the creation of "the Medical Institution" now known as Harvard Medical School. This is followed by about two pages of an address "to the students in physic" i.e. the medical students reflecting upon the first two years of the medical school and outlining the requirements for a medical degree. About two pages are devoted to the sailing directions into and out of Plymouth Harbour. A brief news item in the "Monthly Chronology" reports a meeting to be held in October in Falmouth in the District of Maine on creating a "separate government" for the eastern counties -- a very early report on a separation that would not happen for another 35 years. Issues of The Boston Magazine in the original wrappers are extremely uncommon.References: Mott A History of American Magazines 1741-1850: Vol. I p. 28.

1850réf. 8857Paris 1850. Pencil pen and wash drawing with numerous detailed measurements. A fascinating and beautiful drawing--or "rendu"--of an ancient Roman sarcophagus. A fine drawing from an architectural student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris the most influential architectural school in existence during much of the 18th century the whole of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th century. 'Students were eligible for the Ecole if they were at least fifteen years old or under thirty. They began with the seconde classe in which they competed in the concours d'émulation. These alternated between an esquisse --a rough sketch for which up to twelve hours was allowed--and a rendu --the large-scale finished drawing for which one to three months were allowed.Two to four years were usually required for a student to accumulate enough credits to enter the première classe. The same system was followed again usually for two to three years after which the student should have accumulated enough credits to compete for the Grand Prix de Rome. The winner of the Grand Prix was entitled to five years study under the auspices of the French Academy in Rome. For each of his first three years he was required to submit an analytical study of an ancient monument. For his fourth year he had to submit a complete reconstruction of a major classical work. For his fifth year he was required to submit an original work designed to a program of his own invention. "This study of the sarcophagus of Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus was part of an Ecole de Beaux Arts student's portfolio. The sarcophagus was one of many in the Scipio family tomb on the Via Appia just outside of Roma and it dates from c. 290 B.C. The obituary text reads English "Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus son of Gnaeus a valiant gentleman and wise whose fine form matched his bravery very well was aedile consul and censor among you he conquered Taurasia and Cisauna in fact Samnium he overcame all the Lucanian lands and brought back hostages."
