Title: Vernacular Photograph Album of the Rogers Family of Mamaroneck, Westchester County, New York, 1933-1937
Author: (African Americans – Photograph Album)
Seller: Michael Brown Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Description: oblong quarto, photograph album, containing 96 black and white snapshots mounted on 17 black paper leaves, images identified and captioned either in white pencil, or, in ink on the image itself, album worn, several missing images, lacking covers, some leaves dogeared, some staining, else good. The images detail the lives of the Rogers family, an African American family of Mamaroneck, Westchester, New York, as well as additional members of the African American Community of Mamaroneck and Rye, New York.There are images of Rene Rogers and her husband, the often dapper W. Harrison Rogers, who was likely a chauffeur for a D.S. Weiskopf, who in 1931 purchased the large estate of John Rogers Hegeman, formerly of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, there are two images related to Weisskopf, and his large automobile, both at his estate and at the Westchester-Biltmore Country Club in Rye, New York. There are images of the Rogers, extended family members in and around Westchester County, the A.M.E. Zion Church of Mamaroneck, founded by an escaped slave named Robert Purdy. There are also images taken by the Rogers while traveling, in Pennsylvania, New York City, the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1933, at an all-black beach, Harrison Rogers and other family in Charlevoix, Michigan, out west, The Boulder Dam, California, including Monterrey, San Francisco and Los Angeles, where additional Rogers family members had moved, including a B. H. Rogers. Cross country travel for African Americans during the 1930s would have been extremely difficult, for a variety of reasons, all involving the endemic racism of the era, sundown towns, segregation, lack of accommodations for African Americans, etc.

The hand is shown life-size with all the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and according to Punt, these were the first plates In which Wandelaar "applied the 'architectonic' procedure of 'projective' transposition of the objects to paper with the aid of a pair of compasses and a ruler" (Punt, Albinus, p. 7; also see pp. 1-6). Boyes, On the Shoulders of Giants, pp. 10-11. noting that Albinus's Anatomical studies are still quoted, especially in regard to ttie intrinsic muscles. Choulant 280. Norman 28. Heirs of Hippocrates 525. Roberts & Tomlinson, Fabric of the Body, p. 328. BERNHARD SIEGFRIED ALBINUS (1697 - 1770) began his studies at Leiden University in 1709, at the age of 12, having for his teachers such men as Boerhaave and Bidloo. Having finished his studies at Leiden, he went to Paris in 1718, where he devoted himself especially to anatomy and botany. After a year's absence he was, on the recommendation of Boerhaave, recalled in 1719 to Leiden to be a lecturer on anatomy and surgery. Two years later, Albinus became rector of the medical school. In 1745 Albinus was appointed professor of the practice of medicine. "Albinus was the pioneer of a new epoch in human anatomy, an epoch during vhich all investigations, and especially those pertaining to osteology and myology, were carried out with the most perfect thoroughness and exactitude and with all the means then available. Anatomic representation, too, enters upon an epoch of high perfection during which the mere outward appearance, superficial investigations, or the mere copying of subjects observed prove insufficient. Artistic and faithful representations of the true form and connection of anatomic structures, discovered through repeated comparative studies, are now demanded. What demands Albinus made upon himself in this respect and how he exerted all his energies toward the conscientious preparation for publication of his anatomic Ilustrations, can best be learned from the preface to the first volume of his Annotationes Academicae (Choulant: History and Bibliography of Anatomic Illustration, p. 276, 283, Hafner, New York, 1962. JAN WANDELAAR (1690–1759) was the artist and engraver with whom Albinus did nearly all of his work. A pupil of Johannes Jacobsz Folkema, Gilliam van der Gouwen, and Gerard de Lairesse, he became the teacher of Pieter Lyonet and Abraham Delfos.

Title: 1973 PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION [Cover Title]
Seller: Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Near fine.
Description: [Washington DC]: n.p., 1973. Near fine.. Comedically arranged original photo album by an unknown attendee of President Nixon's second Inauguration (January 20, 1973) - all shot from the main platform less than ten rows behind the swearing-in. Amusing typed captions throughout poke fun at the President, Vice President, First Lady, and Bob Hope (referred to as "The original...Mr. What's His Nose"). A clipping from the March 5, 1973 issue of TIME magazine tells the unfortunate story of Cecil Stoughton, chief still cameraman for the National Park Service and former White House photographer to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. During the Oath of Office, Nixon reportedly lined up on the opposite side of the podium from what was expected and photographers were caught out of position. In an attempt to capture the moment, Stoughton moved himself just feet behind Nixon, causing the photographer - who was wearing a garish plaid coat - to appear prominently in the background of official photos of the ceremony. This infuriated Nixon; weeks later, Stoughton's NPS position was eliminated. One of the photographs shows Stoughton and is captioned: "The back of the man in the plaid coat." Nixon's unexpected positioning, however, makes platform views of the actual swearing-in ceremony rather more uncommon that one might expect. An unusually angled primary source document of the Nixon era. 8.5'' x 9.25''. Hinged plush leather Family-Vue Photocurio brand commercial album. 6 stiff plastic covered leaves with gold metal accents at corners containing twelve 5''x 7'' color photographs mounted both recto and verso, eleven with typed caption sheets mounted below. Photomechanically reproduced magazine article on photographer Cecil Stoughton neatly tipped onto inside rear board. Small scratch to front board, mild shelf wear at rear, interior contents about fine.
