The text leaves give brief accounts of four of the most celebrated hunts - The Royal, Hunt, The Belvoir Hunt, The Melton Mowbray Hunt and The Bramshill Hunt. Rare in the original pictorial wrappers. Schwerdt had two copies of this the first of four parts (one colored but in later wrappers, one uncolored in these pictorial wrappers. The last part was published in 1841 and was not seen by Schwerdt.

(Schwerdt). The plates are dedicated and have the following inscribed legends: 1. "This Portrait of Mr. C. Davis, His Majesty's Huntsman, on the Hermit, is with permission dedicated to the Right Hon. The Earl of Errol K.T. master of his Majesty's Buck Hounds &c. &c. by his Lordship's most obedient Servant R. B. Davis." 2. "This print of T.

Title: A new proof of the Church-Rosser theorem. Offprint. Mimeograph errata slip laid in
Author: Curry, Haskell
Seller: Jeremy Norman & Co., Inc. (United States)
Description: 1952. Curry, Haskell B. (1900-1982). A new proof of the Church-Rosser theorem. Offprint from Konikl. Nederl. Akademie van Wetenschappen-Amsterdam, Proceedings, series A, 55 (1952). 16-23pp. Mimeographed errata slip laid in. 260 x 182 mm. Without wrappers as issued. Slight creasing but very good. First Edition, Offprint Issue. Curry's paper containing his new proof of the Church-Rosser theorem-which proves pure -calculus consistent-precedes by six years the proof he and Feys published in their major textbook Combinatory Logic (1958). Our copy includes the errata slip noting that "Professor M. H. A. Newman has called attention to the fact that the condition J2 does not apply to the lambda calculus. On account of this fact, the theorem in question, although presumably correct, does not have the intended application." .

Title: Appalachian Coal Mining Photo Archive Includes Black Miners at Work in in Mining Shafts, 1910-1920
Author: Appalachian Coal Mining
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1920. Appalachian Coal Mining Operations; Photo Archive of Five Original Gelatin Silver Photographs , ca. 1910s-1920s. Five gelatin silver prints, measuring betweenand 8" x 9" to 5" x 7" Striking vernacular archive documenting early 20th-century industrial coal mining practices through four large-format photographs capturing both above- and below-ground operations. One image depicts a smelter or foundry worker tending molten material in a heavy industrial setting, possibly related to coke production-a critical process in transforming coal into fuel for steelmaking. The worker wears a protective leather apron, gloves, and a helmet with face shield, using a long paddle to manipulate the material. Industrial piping and steel platforms surround the workspace, and a massive crucible or furnace stands nearby. Another photograph captures a dramatic underground mining scene. Two Black miners in heavy coats and headlamps drill upward into the cavern ceiling using a compressed-air jackleg drill. The low, uneven rock walls, exposed support timbers, and scattered equipment emphasize the confined and hazardous conditions of subsurface labor. Coal dust visibly clings to their garments, hinting at prolonged exposure to harsh, particulate-laden environments common in deep mining shafts. One image centers on a large cylindrical steel structure-likely a pressure chamber or industrial boiler associated with coal-fired power or steam generation. The riveted iron shell and complex pipe fittings suggest this is part of an early steam engine or autoclave. Tools such as a coal shovel and rake lean nearby, alongside a coal scuttle, reinforcing the manual labor involved in operating and maintaining this machinery. Another photograph presents an expansive view of a coal rail yard in winter. A lone worker walks atop a line of boxcars amid snow-covered tracks, while coal smoke rises from the buildings along the rail lines. The archive offer a vivid and textural record of early 20th-century coal mining labor and its related technologies. At this time, coal mining was one of the deadliest occupations in the United States; between 1900 and 1930, tens of thousands of miners died in accidents or from occupational illnesses such as black lung disease. Light edge wear and surface handling; one image with silvering and faint creases. Well-preserved examples of early 20th-century industrial photography, documenting coal mining infrastructure, labor, and technology during a critical era of American energy and industrial history. Minor edge wear and light creasing; one image with mild silvering; overall very good.
