Description
Hardcover. Paper pastedown on boards. Very Good. Spectacular groupings of flowers, all brightly colored and finely shaded. N.d., early 19th Century. Oblong, 24 by 33 cm. Each of the paintings is framed with blue paper strips, as typical. Condition: as inevitable with the brittle, fragile pith paper, some tears, holes and stains; in our judgment and experience, lighter by the norm, or put another way, not disconcerting ever. The album binding itself has abrasions and wear, but again, this is lighter than what usually encounters with such album covers.

Description
[San Francisco; Chicago: Southern Pacific Railroad]; [Printed by] Poole Bros, 1900. Duodecimo-size booklet (14.75 x 8.5 cm.), 80 pages. Blue and brown ink on pink paper. Two photographic portraits (Monsieur and Madame Bégué). Illustrations. List of railway agents. Title from cover. In logo at head of title: Southern Pacific Sunset Route. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. A souvenir anthology of writings, including sixty recipes from two landmark New Orleans restaurants, offered for sale to customers traveling the Sunset Route (San Francisco–New Orleans) by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. A sampling: Mutton Feet à la Créole, Liver à la Bégué, Jambalaya of Chicken, Codish with White Beans, Bisque of Crayfish, Creamed Cauliflower, Onion Salad, Eggplant with Rice and Ham, Mayonaise of Celery and Shrimps, Pineapple with White Wine. ~ The title displayed on the wrappers is misleading: the atmospheric essays and testimonials – arranged by a literary journalist who contributed to Southern Pacific's promotional magazine Sunset, Henry Monroe Mayo (1868-1950) – reveal little regarding the eponymous originator of the recipes or the history of the cuisine that brought her fame. Only pages 47-68 contain recipes by Elizabeth (née Elisabetha) Kettenring (Dutreuil) Bégué (1831-1906), the proprietary chef of the beloved restaurant in the Vieux Carré – the second oldest such establishment in New Orleans – located on the Rue de la Levée (Decatur Street, after 1870), downriver from Jackson Square and across from the French Market. An immigrant from southern Germany, she had opened a coffee shop with her husband Louis Dutreuil in 1863. After his death in 1875, she married again, and with her second husband Hippolyte Bégué (1842-1917) reopened in the same location, with the aim of serving one meal per day – a “second breakfast” beginning at 11:00 a.m. – to accommodate laborers in the meat markets and on the docks who started work at dawn. (A fuller history by David Shields is available in his The Culinarians [Chicago: University or Chicago Press, 2017], pages 270-273.) By the mid-1880s, trade fairs held in the city were bringing tourists as well, and Bégué’s became a destination on its own. Madame Bégué died in 1906. The restaurant continued under management of her daughter, but was sold in 1914 to relatives of the family Tujague, competitors since 1856 on Decatur Street, a few doors away. ~ A shorter tribute with recipes (pages 69-74) is accorded another restaurateur, presumably Victor Béro (d. 1904), an immigrant from Belgium who had presided over Victor's Restaurant since 1873. (Mayo appears to confuse the "Monsieur Victor" of his time with the founder and namesake of the establishment, Victor Martin [1812-1865]; cf. Shields, page 136, 445). ~ The Sunset Route of the Southern Pacific Company was the southernmost of the transport lines to the West Coast originally contemplated by the series of Pacific Railroad Acts between 1862 and 1866. Of the resulting publicly subsidized corporate consortia that would transform western North America – known collectively as the transcontinental railroads – Southern Pacific was already a mammoth system in 1900, including smaller subsidiaries such as the Texas and New Orleans Railroad, and extending across territories that would later become New Mexico and Arizona, as well as northwards through Nevada, Utah, and much of California. The in-house Sunset magazine appears to have been printed close to headquarters in San Francisco, but like many publications issued by the transportation industry, Mme. Bégué and Her Recipes was printed by Poole Brothers of Chicago, who advertised as "railway printers" and also produced tickets, brochures, and mileage tables. ~ Internally clean and sound; in publisher's red wrappers decorated in black and white, with an image of Madame Chef in kitchen apron. Wrappers with some rubbing and two small chips to the spine Near very good. Rare.

Description
Cali: Imprenta de Nicolas Hurtado, 1863. Very good.. 50pp. Original printed wrappers, stitched. Untrimmed. Contemporary and later ownership inscriptions on front wrap; later private library stamp on first two leaves of text. Light wear at edges. A few scattered, small stains; even toning. The political pendulum swung to the Liberals in Colombia in 1863, and a new constitution was promulgated at Rionegro, which was to last until 1886. It renamed the nation the United States of Colombia, gave too the states all powers not reserved to the central government, contained fully defined individual liberties and guarantees, and guaranteed Colombians full religious freedom. This printing was authorized in Cali shortly after the document's approval and official printing in Bogotá in May 1863. A contemporary ownership inscription of "B. Nuñez" on the front wrapper notes his purchase date as August 11, 1863. OCLC notes two copies of the Bogotá imprint and one copy of a Medellin imprint, but none of the present issue from Cali.

Description
Mostly Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1940. Good. 7¼" x 11". Riveted faux leather over flexible card. 20 leaves with 64 black and white photographs. Around half are inserted in corner mounts, the other half adhered (all but one rectos only), and nine are laid in. Photos measure from 2¾" x 3¾" to 3 1/8" x 4¾". Album good with heavy wear loss of some surface covering as well as complete separation of the covering of the front cover, which is entirely lacking from the rear; photos generally near fine or better. This is an album that was almost certainly created by an employee of Carl F. Skinner & Sons, a Kalamazoo, Michigan distributor of the Power House Candy Bar. Power House was popular for several decades and was manufactured at the time by the Walter H. Johnson Candy Company out of Chicago, and was later part of Peter Paul. All the photos relate to Power House and its distribution. Approximately 37 photos show painted store windows with Power House advertising, including many different exaggerated characters in a number of scenes alternatively pining, screaming, cajoling, even firing a large cannon to get ahold of its chocolaty goodness. A few images show the window painter with his tools. Several photos show Power House-decorated automobiles. These range from simple window cards, to a car covered entirely in Power House decals as well as a Power House travel trailer. The Skinner company truck, also advertising Power House, can be seen as well. One interesting image shows a car ready for a parade with Power House window advertisements as well as a huge banner lobbying against a proposed 20 to 100 percent sales tax on candy. There are several shots of employees and a few great internal views of the Skinner warehouse as well showing a number of products.

1970. [Chicano Literature] Vasquez, Richard. Chicano. New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc. 1970. Stated first edition. 8vo; 376pp. Original black board with silver title on spine, pictorial dust jacket, mylar covering. Vasquez's Chicano quickly became a bestseller at the height of the Chicano rights and literary movement. It follows the Sandoval family who flee the disparity of the Mexican Revolution to begin a new life in the United States. The themes deal with cultural isolation, discrimination, bi-racial love, and the struggle of the Mexican-American immigrant family. Vasquez, being born and raised in the Latino community of Los Angeles, wrote Chicano with an honest and raw first hand perspective of the Mexican struggle in the United States. In 1952 he quit his construction job to become a full time writer. He wrote for multiple Southern California newspapers such as The Los Angeles Times and San Gabriel Valley Tribune as well as authored two additional books and spoke on social justice at universities. This novel is a quintessential piece of Chicano literature. Dust jacket has edge wear and a chip to top of spine, not price clipped, and covered in mylar. Binding is tight, text and pages are clean and crisp. Overall very good condition.

In 1948, Williams was a resident in Urology at St Peter's. A boy was brought to the hospital who was suffering from urinary retention. Williams was shocked to know that not even senior staff in the hospital had any knowledge on how to treat the child. / Williams also came to know that there was no literature in the field. Deciding that the field needed to be studied more, he began collaboration for a book with Twistington Higgins, a general surgeon interested in urology. Williams, Higgins, and DF Ellison Nash co-wrote The Urology of Childhood, which was published in 1951 and the book became a milestone in the development of child urology.' [Wikip.].

Description
Sarasota, Florida: Pineapple Preses, (1999). Signed and inscribed by the author. Quarto, blue cloth (hardcover), gilt letters and decoration to upper cover, map illustrated endpapers, 144 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Written and fully illustrated by internationally known artist Roger Bansemer, this book, depicting Florida’s thirty lighthouses in over 200 paintings and sketches, is sure to be an instant collector’s treasure. The artist recently visited each lighthouse -- a feat which took him on many land and sea adventures -- and offers here the only book with an accurate depiction of how each looks today. What is it about lighthouses that makes us look at them with such interest? It could be their romantic settings. Lighthouses also symbolize guidance and hope. They are stately and reassuring, even to those of us who don’t make our living from the sea. The tradition that these lights burned brightly under all conditions and circumstances is noble and praiseworthy. Time and technology have caught up with the lighthouses of Florida. Most have withstood wars and weather, but they have not been able to withstand the assault of the modern electronic age. Because of this, many a light has faded from the horizon. Thirty Florida lighthouses still stand. Some of them have been lovingly restored by concerned groups, but others are barely standing, tattered by erosion, vandalism, and the effects of time. Some are remote and lonely places seldom visited; others have become attractions, open to the inspection of the curious and sincere lighthouse enthusiasts alike. All have stories to tell.
