Description
El Reno, Ok: Baker Hickman Music Co, 1890. Very good.. Three cabinet card photographs, each 4.25 x 6.5 inches on slightly larger mounts, two with ink stamp on verso reading "Sold by Baker Hickman Music Co. El Reno, Okla." Minor edge wear, a few small bumps, scattered minor soiling. Three rare images featuring hundreds of hopefuls preparing to participate in the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. The images were taken in El Reno, Oklahoma, often referred to as the "Home of the Land Rush." Each of the images are filled with men in the streets, on the sidewalks, on top of trains near the El Reno depot, standing under tents, and in horse-drawn wagons. One of the images features a number of tents set up in the streets of El Reno, one of which belongs to Crow & Jones who sport a sign reading, "Filing Papers Made Here." Many of the businesses on this main strip in El Reno can be seen in the background, including the meat market, Miller's Drugs, Cook & Shriver Furniture and Carpets, among others. It appears that all three photographs were taken from the roof of a train car. "On April 22, 1889, the area's unassigned lands were opened up for settlement, which quickly became known as the great Oklahoma land run. When the signal was given along the outer boundaries, the Fort Reno soldiers were assigned to keep order among the many rushing pioneers flooding the area. No sooner was the land opened for settlement when the Rock Island Railroad began to build a line from Caldwell, Kansas, to the Canadian River's south bank. Near Fort Reno, a settlement had sprung up called Reno City, which quickly decided to relocate nearer the railroad. Buildings, pioneers, and businesses wasted no time uprooting and moving the entire town, which they called El Reno. In January 1890, the first train arrived in the community, which quickly became a rail center for the productive wheat harvests of Canadian County. In March of 1890, El Reno has named the county seat" - Legends of America website.

Description
Allentaun: Blumer Druckerei, 1830. Folio broadside: 335 x 215 mm., [13 ¼ x 8 ½ inches]. Printed in two columns on blue paper; heavily stained, some tears at folds; expert paper repairs to folds. Rare broadside issued as part of a confirmation ceremony presided over by Andrew Zeller (1755-1839), one of the early bishops of the United Brethren Church in America. Following the example of the Methodists, this German language ministry of the UBC, used revivals, camp meetings and song as a way of ministering to its German American Evangelical congregation. The 'Confirmation Song', comprised of three hymns, was part of the traditional ceremony celebrating the congregant's admission to full membership in the church. The song is attributed to Heinrich Albert (1604-1651) and was used by Bach in his vocal works. The broadside is printed by Alexander Blumer, son of the Reformed pastor Abraham Blumer. He began printing in the late 1820's and his company, under a number of partnerships lasted until 1856. This broadside is identified by Herman Wellenreuther and dated ca. 1830. Another example of the Confirmations =Lieder printed in 1850 by Blumer is described and illustrated by Don Yoder in his book on Pennsylvania broadsides. It is also printed on blue paper. This broadside is not cited in OCLC and appears not to be in the collections of the Library Company or the American Antiquarian Society. Herman Wellenreuther, Citizens in a Strange Land, Penn State University Press, 2013, note 7, p. 299. Stephen Nolt, Foreigners in their Own Land, Penn State University Press, 2002, pp. 50-51.

Description
Long Island City, N.Y.: Bomart Music Publications [PN bmp I/1], 1949. Folio. Stapled. Original publisher's light gray wrappers printed in blue. 1f. (blank), 2ff. (title, texts, notes), 23, [3] (blank) pp. Narrator's text in English with some German; preliminaries with full French and German text. Chorus in transliterated Hebrew. Series statement to lower wrapper: International Contemporary Series. From the collection of noted musicologist Stanely Boorman, with his signature to front flyleaf and occasional annotations in pencil. Wrappers lightly worn and browned; small price stamp to upper outer corner of upper. First Edition. Rufer (E), pp. 73-74. GA B/19, pp. 63-64. "The plot of the "Survivor from Warsaw," which Schönberg wrote himself, describes a scene, typical of national socialism's organized terror, of roll-call selection, where the human inventory was inspected, and those sentenced to death were pulled from the prisoners' ranks; in this way, it was possibly to portray the significant patterns of everyday life in the concentration camps. Schönberg's literary method of obscuring the Warsaw Ghetto - the symbolic location - by focusing on a locationally indefinite episode along the continuum of a larger historical process, entails that it remains factually undefined, as well. It is not, however, the authenticity of the details, but rather the interpretation thereof that is important for the reading and understanding of the terror of extermination as the signature of modern social history: "Now, what the text of the Survivor means to me: it means at first a warning to all Jews, never to forget what has been done to us, never to forget that even people who did not do it themselves, agreed with them and many of them found it necessary to treat us this way. We should never forget this, even such things have not been done in the manner in which I describe in the Survivor. This does not matter. The main thing is, that I saw it in my imagination." (Letter to Kurt List, November 1st, 1948)" Therese Muxeneder © Arnold Schönberg Center.

Middleburg: : Printed by Thomas Berry, according to the Dutch Copie, 1673 Book. Fine. Hardcover. First edition of the English translation, preceded by a Dutch edition printed at Amsterdam the same year. Octavo. 20.5x15 cm. Pp. [ff. 60]. A few woodcut initials, printer's woodcut device on title. Later plain gray wrappers. Circular stain to front wrapper. Leaves lightly toned, lower corner of first 15 leaves curled. A very good copy. The Third Anglo-Dutch War was a military conflict between England and the Dutch Republic, that lasted between April 1672 and early 1674. It was part of the larger Franco-Dutch War. Finally, the Parliament of England, fearful that the alliance wth France was part of a plot to make England Roman Catholic, forced the king to abandon the costly and fruitless war. Hill was at the time pastor of the Scottish church at Middleburg, Zeeland, and was paid a stipend by the Provincial States. On publication of the present work, in which he advocates the English alliance, and vindicates Charles II from suspicion of popery, he was ordered to leave Zeeland, with permission to return at the close of the war. Charles rewarded him for his pamphlet with a sinecure of eighty pounds a year and the offer of a bishopric, which Hill declined. He returned to Holland in 1678 and became minister of the English Presbyterian church at Haringvliet, Rotterdam. [Wing: H-2000]. Full title: The Interest Of these United Provinces. Being a Defence of the Zeelanders Choice. Wherein is shewne, I. That we ought unanimously to defend our selves. II. That if we cannot, it is better to be under England than France, in regard of Religion, Liberty, Estates, and Trade. III. That we are not yet come to that extremity, but we may remaine a Republick. And that our Compliance with England is the onely meanes for this. Together with Severall Remarkes upon the present, and Conjectujres on the future state of Affaires in Europe, especially as relating to this Republick..

29 pp. 8vo (206 x 132 mm.), disbound, stitched as issued. Paris: Henry & Olivier, 1815. The scarce catalogue of an auction directed by Bon-Thomas Henry (1766-1836), first a painter, then a respected dealer and tasteful collector. The supposed consigner “La Baronne de V***ez,” was very probably fictitious. This sale, consisting mostly of Northern pictures, offered 76 lots of paintings and 11 lots of engraved stones. Henry has contributed informative descriptions for most of the pictures. Attributed here to P. de Hooch, lot 36, now at the Frick, is today credited to Hendrik van der Burgh. Nice copy, a little foxed. Stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on upper wrapper. ❧ Lugt 8764. Oxford Art online (Henry)–“He studied under Charles Landon and Jean-Baptiste Regnault. In 1793 he began to deal in pictures and until 1812 spent part of his time travelling abroad (mainly in Italy) to increase his knowledge of art. In October 1816 he was appointed Commissaire-expert des Musées Royaux, a post he held until his death. Between 1810 and 1830 he assembled an eclectic collection, purchasing either privately or at sales, among them the posthumous sales (1826 and 1827) of Vivant Denon. His tastes in Italian art ranged from the work of Fra Angelico to that of the 17th-century Bolognese masters…In 1834 Henry offered a large part of his collection to the town of Cherbourg, and on 29 July 1835 a museum to house his works was opened on the second floor of the Hôtel de Ville; it was later named the Musée Thomas-Henry.”.

Minneapolis: University of Minnnesota Press, 1929. First edition. PIONEERING ATLAS OF HUMAN FETAL GROWTH. 11 1/2 inches tall hardcover, blue cloth binding, gilt title to cover and spine, institutional library bookplate to front paste-down (no other library marks), i-xxiii, 367 pp, 73 figures. Very good+ in custom archival mylar cover. RICHARD E. SCAMMON. In the first half of the 20th century, the noted developmental anatomist (and first Dean of the University of Minnesota Medical School), Richard E Scammon, explored the geometric relationships of the frontal fontanelle in human infants (Scammon and Adair, 1930). Richard E. Scammon's article, "The First Seriatim Study of Human Growth," provided one of the best-known visuals in the field of human biology. Scammon resurrected longitudinal height data of one child from Buffon's Histoire Naturelle, converted them to metric, and plotted these measurements as a function of age. The result was the first graph of one individual's growth curve from birth to 18 years of age. This image was subsequently reproduced in numerous texts on human growth and biology. Published in 1927, Scammon's article provides a snapshot of the state of growth research at the time and gives a (literal) picture of the future of human biology. LEROY ADELBERT CALKINS (1894-1960) served as chair of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Kansas from 1929 to 1959.

Ivan Panin (1855 - 1942) was a Russian-American author, lecturer, and Harvard graduate, known for claiming to have discovered numeric patterns in the texts of the Greek and Hebrew bibles. Though critics of his work doubted his claims that his statistical findings were proof of divine inspiration, Panin devoted over 50 years of his life to exploring and documenting the numerical structure of the Scriptures and wrote over 40 000 pages of analysis. He published numerous books and articles on the subject, including the current periodical.
