Title: [Cover title:] Japanese Russian War 1904. [A personal album of hand-captioned stereographic photographs documenting the Russo-Japanese War, with additional captioned photographs on loose leaves]
Author: Barry, Richard Hayes
Seller: James Arsenault & Company (United States)
Description: Port Arthur and vicinity, 1904. Album (10" x 12"), original string-tied woven-grass over boards, manuscript title on upper cover. 98 half stereograph bromide photographs, 3.5" x 3.5", most with manuscript captions, mounted in slits on 17 leaves, one photo mounted on paste-down, additional unused leaves. CONDITION: Good with starts to both the front and rear joints near the foot, some damp-staining to the edges of the boards and on several interior pages, with 16 of the 98 photographs sustaining some degree of water damage. There are 8 empty captioned photo mounts, and 13 empty photo mounts without captions that have indications of the presence of photographs in the past. [with] 40 half stereograph bromide photographs and one complete stereographic photograph, mounted on 28 loose leaves, 27 with manuscript captions, 1 with typescript caption. 35 of the photographs are the left or right stereographic mate to the photographs in the album and are captioned differently from those in the album. 14 leaves measure 9" x 6.75" and contain two captioned photographs; 4 leaves range in size from 6.75" x 4.25" to 6.75" x 5.25" and contain 1 captioned photograph and an empty captioned photo mount; 9 leaves range in size from 6.75" x 4.25" to 6.75" x 5.25" and contain 1 captioned photograph; one photograph is only half present. CONDITION: Very good. A significant and captivating photographic archive recording the first modern war from the perspective of an important figure in its documentation, pioneering American war correspondent and photojournalist Richard Barry. This remarkable archive contains half stereographic photographs taken and captioned by Barry during the Russo-Japanese War, some of which illustrate his book, Port Arthur: A Monster Heroism. An image of the Hyposcope on p. 44 of the album appears opposite page 120 in Port Arthur: A Monster Heroism, and also on p. 244 of A Photographic Record of the Russo-Japanese War. One image, captioned "Soldier Faces" on tissue page 17 of this archive, has been positively identified as being one of the set of 100 images of the Japanese-Russo War stereographs issued by the Ingersoll View Company. Since a full set of the Ingersoll stereographs documenting the siege of Port Arthur could not be obtained, positive identification of the remaining stereographs in this archive as included in that set was not possible. Although Barry separated the stereographic photographs before mounting them, 35 of the stereographic mates to the photographs in the album are present and are mounted on the accompanying tissue paper pages and have notations indicating the location of the stereographic mate and their position (left or right) in the original stereograph. The photographs in the album and on the tissue pages show images of Barry and his fellow journalists; life in Dalny, a town under Japanese jurisdiction near the fighting in Port Arthur; Japanese officers and Japanese military camp life near Port Arthur; displaced native Chinese and the effects of the war on the native populace; the Japanese Red Cross working with the wounded; Japanese trenches and life on the front lines; and images of the Japanese Grand Assault of October 29, showing bombing 800 yards from the line of battle. Richard Hayes Barry, (1881 - ?) was born in Eau Clair, Wisconsin, to George and Harriet Barry. Harriet, a journalist and news editor, apparently was a great influence on her sons, as they both became journalists. Barry was in San Francisco working at various papers and magazines as a cub reporter when the Russo-Japanese conflict broke out. Only 23 at the time, he thought that covering the war would be an adventure which might help him firmly establish a career in journalism. While Barry was able to get promises from a couple of local papers to pay $10 each for his war report columns, he lacked sufficient funds to cover either his passage to China, or room and board upon his arrival. However, while in San Francisco, Barry had befriended an established reporter named Edwin Emerson, and he asked Emerson how he might get the money to cover the Russo-Japanese conflict. Uncertain that Barry was truly serious about going, Emerson told his young friend to find some funding for his passage to China before he would consent to additional help. Barry was certainly a very self-confident young man: the first person he approached in order to obtain funds was the former Mayor of San Francisco, James D. Phelan. Barry was able to talk Phelan into giving him $100 to cover the cost of his passage. When Barry showed Emerson the cash, Emerson was convinced Barry was serious about covering the Russo-Japanese conflict and gave Barry a card to see Frank K. Lane, a California politician who had recently run for governor of the state. Lane took Barry to see prominent San Francisco banker, Daniel Meyer. Barry explained to Meyer why it was necessary for him to report on the war and how he had already secured $100 for his passage, but needed $200 more to pay his expenses. Meyer was so impressed with Barry that he immediately wrote a check for the requested sum. Barry traveled steerage to Japan and waited 5 months in Tokyo for an assignment to a military unit. He was one of only 18 journalists and military observers assigned to the Japanese Third army, commanded by General Baron Nogi Maresuke (1849-1912), and his comrades in the journalism core included Jack London, Frederick Villiers, Stanley Washburn and James Ricalton. Barry was attached to General Nogi's personal staff at Port Arthur, in what would be the epicenter of decision making for final battles of the war. He eventually became very close to General Nogi, whom he revered as a father figure. The one complete stereoview included here depicts Nogi astride his horse Kotubiki (Long Life). The caption refers to General Nogi as "Baron," his title at the time. General Nogi was elevated to the title of Count after the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese War. Following Nogi's ritual suicide in 1912 for what Nogi believed to be his failings during the Russo-Japanese War, Barry reminisced about Nogi in the Septer 14, 1912 issue of the New York Times: Nogi was a classic figure. Plutarch should have had him. He belonged with Cato and Brutus, with Socrates and Lycurgus. Of all the human beings I have ever known he rises in my memory as the one superb, complete person. He was at once soldier and poet, statesman and artist. Always he was the gentleman - wondrously gentle, and a man to the bone. Since his war reports from the front lines had attracted a large following back home, Barry took the chance to return to the U.S. just before the Japanese final assault on Port Arthur in order to secure additional coverage assignments. In New York he was the only reporter who had seen action in Port Arthur, and managed to obtain many contracts with national magazines and newspapers. It was likely during this sojourn that Barry secured a contract with the Ingersoll View Company, and, Kodak No. 2 Stereo Camera freshly in hand, he returned in time for the final Japanese assault on Port Arthur. In April of 1905, just months before the end of the war, Barry published the book Port Arthur: A Monster Heroism, and was asked by President Theodore Roosevelt to visit the White House to discuss the conflict. President Roosevelt told Barry to get a message to the Japanese that they must hold Port Arthur and Korea at all costs. Barry contacted George Kennan, an American journalist in Japan at the time, who succeeded in passing the missive on to people of influence. Following his adventures as a war correspondent and war artist during the Russo-Japanese conflict, Richard Barry became a nationally known news correspondent and novelist. A valuable primary source for the study of the emergence of trench warfare, modern warfare, the history of the Russo-Japanese War, or the experiences of a major turn-of-the-century war correspondent and photojournalist.

Title: Zhao shi yi guan 趙氏醫貫 [Mr. Zhao's Principles of Medicine]
Author: ZHAO, Xianke 趙獻可
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Four full-page woodcuts & two smaller woodcuts in the text depicting the kidneys. Six vols. 8vo, later wrappers, new stitching. [China]: Wenying tang, 1867. A good edition of an important medical work that challenged many ideas of traditional Chinese medicine. "Zhao Xianke's emphasis on the importance of the Gate of Life challenged and subverted the Neo-Confucian tradition wherein the heart was supreme."-Chang Chia-feng, "Yijing and Medicine: Discussions of the Gate of Life in Late Imperial China," in The Other Yijing (Brill: 2021), p. 171. Zhao (1573?-1664?), a native of Ningbo in Zhejiang province, "was an important physician of this coastal region in the lower reaches of the Yangzi river. He excelled in the study of medicine and the study of the Classic of Changes, he travelled extensively, authored several books, and he had a son who practised medicine as well...Although Zhao's ideas on the 'gate of life' as ruler of the body never became mainstream, he is still remembered as an important wenbu physician. The Pill with Six and the Pill with Eight Ingredients remain among the most popular formulas of Traditional Chinese Medicine."-Leslie de Vries, "The Dangers of 'Warming and Replenishing' (wenbu 溫補) during the Ming to Qing Epistemic Transition" in Asian Medicine (Brill: 2015), Vol. 10, Parts 1 & 2-(see this entire article for an excellent discussion of Zhao's complex medical theories and the ongoing controversies regarding them). Zhao's "fundamental therapeutic principles were...that the continuation of human life is dependent on the intensity of the internal fire. A weakness, as well as an excessive intensity, of this fire, results in illness and, possibly, death. Treatment of such pathological conditions, however, can only be accomplished by means of the kidneys, which - associated with water - control the fire of the Gate of Life."-Paul U. Unschuld, Medicine in China. A History of Ideas (University of California: 2010), p. 201-(& see pp. 200-02). Our edition includes two Prefaces. The first is by the Xue brothers, Xue Sanxing 薛三省 (1558-1634) and Xue Sancai 薛三才 (1555-1619), both high-ranking officials of the Ming who helped publish Zhao's work as the empire was collapsing under internal and external unrest. The second is by Lü Liuliang 呂留良 (1629-83), whose commented edition helped popularize Zhao's medical system beyond the Ningbo region. The earliest printings of this work were not dated, likely for political reasons. The text was popular and reprinted many times during the Qing dynasty. Our copy is an 1867 reprint by the publisher Wenying tang. We find two other copies in North American collections, at Princeton and Columbia (WorldCat 960474081). Fine set, preserved in a hantao. Wrappers of Vols. 1, 2, and 6 show minor wear, and the stitching is a little loose in all but Vol. 5. The woodblocks were showing wear (as is typical for commercial printings of popular texts), but the text is mostly legible. Otherwise in good condition. Lightly annotated in red and black ink. Unidentified red seal in Vol. 1.

Very good; some spotting to the front cover with paper(?) flecks adhering in spots.. 8vo, xii, 122, [2 - adverts] + 21 mounted Woodburytype photographs "Sayre's greatest original contribution to orthopaedic surgery was in the treatment of tuberculosis of the spine (Pott's disease) with a plaster of Paris jacket. . . . It is interesting that his book, Spinal Disease and Spinal Curvature, was written and first published while he was visiting in England in 1877. . . . In 1877 Sayre was a delegate from the American Medical Association to the British Medical Congress, held in Manchester, England. His fame in the treatment of spinal disease had preceded him, and he was asked to lecture and give demonstrations of his methods of treating tuberculosis of the spine and scoliosis in the leading surgical centers in Great Britain and Ireland. . ." (Shands, Early Orthopaedic Surgeons of America, pp. 35, 38-40; fig. 3-9 illustrates the title page). "The patient was literally suspended by an overhead traction apparatus attached to a specially constructed chin and occiput halter. Only his toes touched the ground, and this was permitted just enough to avoid serious discomfort. While under this severe traction, a snugly fitted plaster of Paris jacket was applied. Later lateral traction bands were added to the suspended body according to the nature of the deformity, and the plaster applied around them. These bands were removed before the finishing layer was applied" (Bick, Source Book of Orthopaedics, pp. 434-35).

Lester Rossin is recognized as being one of the original "Mad Men," an elevated advertising art and marketing firm that thrived in the 1950s and 1960s. Offered here is an original portfolio of design work that was no doubt distributed to potential clients. The portfolio was designed by Clifford Condak and contains three color-coded folders with samples from the firm's three divisions. The folders are: Illustrators (blue folder with a circle: 13 samples); Photographers (green / square: 4 samples); and Designers (red / triangle: 6 samples). Each folder bears the names of the individuals whose work was contained therein. On the front of the portfolio is an extraordinary "raison d'etre" by the firm which bears reprinting: "Design is the basis of a creative illustration. Whatever the medium, message or technique, only a heightened sense of design will raise the work from craftsmanship to the level of art. This is our belief. It is the basis of our achievement, the discipline of our daily work, and the guarantee of our future." On the back of the portfolio is a long list of the company's "Distinctions," including "Bests" at the 1957 International Poster Annual and the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Here the potential client is informed that "In the past 12 months we have designed and produced art for 2198 advertisers, 1561 mailing pieces and 932 point-of-sale units."

Title: Original Photograph of a group of 1960s Civil Rights Picketers in Massachusetts
Author: African American
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1964. Original vintage photograph of three people marching against workplace discrimination in Massachusetts. 9" x 7.5". Black and white silver gelatin photograph. Original vintage photograph shows two men picketing the Wyman-Gordon metal components company for racial discrimination in 1964. Their signs read: "Racial Discrimination at Wyman-Gordon?", and the men appear to be trying to get the attention of a woman passing on the sidewalk. They're standing outside what looks like a company office, in all likelihood a corporateoffice of Wyman-Gordon, based on a door sign in the background. The president of Wyman-Gordon was Robert Stoddard, an opponent of the Civil Rights Act and founder of the right wing John Birch Society. In 1964, the firms only black employees were its janitors, which made it a point of focus for civil rights leader Abbie Hoffman who organized petitions with the Massachusetts Anti-Discrimination Commission and the U.S Air Force, one of Wyman-Gordon's biggest clients. In July of that year, the company agreed to change its hiring practices. This photo has a minor 0.25 inch paper loss at top left corner. Overall, in very good condition.

[minor shelfwear, tiny dent in top edge of rear cover; jacket is lightly soiled, a bit age-tanned along the spine, tiny tear at top of spine]. (decorations) Vintage, pre-Dr. Spock child-raising advice manual. "Here at last is a book on the rearing of children, from birth through adolescence, by one who is eminent both as a psychologist and as a physician. He declares that mental health can be assured at birth to all babies who are normal at birth (and nearly all of them are) and whose parents have before them a clear picture of growth and development and carry out a few general principles." Wow, it sounds so simple. (And you gotta love a book in which the chapter about adolescence is entitled "The Valley of Confusion.") .
