GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL (formerly the Hospital for Sick Children) was founded on 14 February 1852 after a long campaign by Dr. Charles West, and was the first hospital in England to provide in-patient beds specifically for children. THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY was a British evangelical Christian organization founded in 1799 and known for publishing a variety of popular religious and quasi-religious texts in the 19th century. The society engaged in charity as well as commercial enterprise, publishing books and periodicals for profit. For the first 25 years of the society's existence, its main activity was the publication and distribution of religious tracts. In the 1820s and 1830s, the society began commercially publishing bound books and periodicals for adults and children, shifting away from its previous focus on tracts, and leading to a sharp increase in the society's income. This shift was the subject of some criticism both within and outside the organization. Subscribers to the society raised concerns that their contributions were being used to subsidize books which were aimed at a middle-class audience and priced out of reach of the working-class families that represented the previous targets of the society's evangelical efforts. From the 1860s, the Society began publishing novels aimed at women and children, providing a platform for a new generation of women writers.

Title: Exhibition postcard: Robert Ryman: Bilder (21 November-17 December [1968])
Author: (RYMAN, Robert)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Pictorial postcard, mailed. Düsseldorf: Konrad Fischer, [1968]. Postcard invitation to the artist’s second exhibition in Europe and first with Fischer’s gallery. Ryman’s first European show, with Galerie Heiner Friedrich (19 November-December 10), began two days before the present one. The Fischer exhibition presented the artist’s Classico series (nos. 1-6). The illustration shows a detail of J. Green (1968). “Konrad Fischer and the Munich-based gallerist Heiner Friedrich, at whose gallery Konrad Lueg had had a solo exhibition in 1967, became partners of sorts at the end of the 1960s, and they ‘shared’ a number of artists. When Fischer’s friend Kasper König from New York recommended Ryman to him, he was cautious at first…When Ryman eventually flew to Germany in the fall, the two gallerists split the cost of the ticket… [The Fischer show] consisted of works from Ryman’s Classico series, which were later also presented in March 1969 in the Conceptual Art exhibition Live in Your Head. When Attitudes Become Form at the Kunsthalle Bern, which was co-organized by Fischer.”–Cloud & Crystal: The Dorothee and Konrad Fischer Collection (2016 exhib. booklet), p. 65. Very good, small stain to recto. Mailed to J. Petersen of Berlin. ❧ D. Fischer, ed., Ausstellungen bei Konrad Fischer: Düsseldorf Oktober 1967-Oktober 1992 (Edition Marzona: 1993) 13.
