Oblong folio, 357 x 468 mm, Bound in publisher's red three quarter cloth over boards by Villain. Paris: Société du Mercure de France, 1897. A fine copy of this incredibly scarce suite of large fantastic architectural designs by the visionary Swiss symbolist artist, poet and architect, Albert Trachsel (1863-1929), a contemporary of the young Picasso, with whom he exhibited at the Galeries Serrurier, Paris (1905). This curious work is specially mentioned by Bénézit, and contains a prologue in verse by Mathias Morhardt, as well as an historical and interpretive preface by Trachsel. The statement of limitation on the verso of the half title reads: "De cet album il a été tiré 100 exemplaires sur papier courant et 40 exemplaires sur papier impérial du Japon." The present copy is one of the regular copies and unnumbered. One plate and the table of contents spotted, but overall a fresh and appealing copy.

Description
2 diaries, small quarto, 247 pages, plus blanks, and pasted in clippings and pictures, original plain paper wraps, wrappers, worn, badly chipped, detached, but present, entries in ink, generally clear and legible. Diaries of an early US Navy submariner, a machinist. The diaries discuss his daily shipboard activities, as well as those in his personal life. From the entries we learn that the early submarines were mechanically unreliable, accident prone, and otherwise unsafe, the exhaust fumes, while the Octopus was in operation, were often overpowering. Our diarist was a thirty-year-old, five-year veteran of the Navy, who had been married for a year when the diaries begin, to a woman named Alice, and who was very religious. The diary entries begin July 22, 1907. Our diarist works in in engine rooms, tending and repairing engines. The first ship he mentions is the USS Vesuvius, a dynamite gun cruiser, then operating out of Newport, Rhode Island. The Vesuvius sails for Boston in August where it remains, until orders were given in November to put the Vesuvius out of commission. On December 17, he was discharged from the Navy. The next day, the 18th, our diarist went to Newport where he "got application papers at the Torpedo station." On the 19th he notes that he went to Quincy and "saw Mr. Bowles of the Fore River Ship building Co…." He was employed the next day. By December 23 he was at work at the Fore River Company on the Birmingham (CS-2/CL-2, named for the city of Birmingham, Alabama, was a Chester-class scout cruiser, reclassified a light cruiser in 1920). He was engaged primarily in various aspects of building its engine. Our diarist in the meantime was also sending in applications to the "Newport Torpedo Station." In May 1908 he began working on the North Dakota (USS North Dakota (BB-29) was a Delaware-class battleship). On June 16, 1908, he received word to report at the Torpedo Station that Saturday, our diarists reaction was succinct, "Praise God." "June 18… I gave Mr Battles my notice at 10 am (he called it one weeks notice to avoid having to fire me) quit work at 11 and got laid off before noon. Went out and bought some tools and did some packing this afternoon." "June 20 Fair Staid at the Y.M.C.A. last night. Met Mr. Cruthers on Thames St this morning. Reported for work at 9 am. The chief clerk sent me to Mr. Moore who told me to come in to work Monday morning left my grip of tools in the tool-room. Alice and I went all over the town looking for a tenement and I am dead tired as I slept little last night. We decided on the house at the head of Thames St." "22. Hot. Met Miller this morning went to work at the Torpedo Station this morning. Tested out a new screw machine in the new factory, getting settled at 57 Farewell St…" "July 22 … Roosevelt was at the Training Station today…" In August he rejoins the Navy and is assigned to the Wabash. On September 1st he was given orders to leave the Wabash and "sent to the Hist at Newport" (USS Hist, formerly Thespia, was built in 1895). "Sept 1, 1908 Pease and I got started on piping job…. Told to pack our bags and hammocks to be ready to leave the Wabash at 12 noon to be sent to the Hist at Newport… We went over on the "Wave" and reported on the Torpedo Station, the Hist is not here at present so all I have to do is report once a day and stay ashore until the Hist comes in …" [Sept.] "11 fair.

The USS Octopus, later designated USS C-1 (SS-9), was the lead ship of her class of submarines built for the United States Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. The C-class submarines were enlarged versions of the preceding B-class, the first American submarines with two propeller shafts. They had a length of 105 feet 3 inches overall, a beam of 13 feet 10 inches and a mean draft of 10 feet 10 inches. They displaced 240 long tons on the surface and 273 long tons submerged. The C-class boats had a crew of 1 officer and 14 enlisted men. They had a diving depth of 200 feet. For surface running, they were powered by two 240-brake-horsepower (179kW) Craig gasoline engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a 115 -horsepower (86kW) electric motor. They could reach 11 knots on the surface and 9 knots underwater. On the surface, the boats had a range of 776 nautical miles at 8.13 knots and 24 nautical miles at 8 knots submerged. The boats were armed with two 18-inch torpedo tubes in the bow. They carried two reloads, for a total of four torpedoes. C-1 was laid down by Fore River Shipbuilding Company in Quincy, Massachusetts, under a subcontract from Electric Boat Company, as Octopus. Octopus was launched on October 4, 1906 sponsored by Miss F. Webster, and commissioned on June 30, 1908, Lieutenant C. E. Courtney in command. She was renamed C-1 on November 17, 1911. Assigned to Submarine Flotilla 2 (SubFlot 2), Octopus operated out of Newport, Rhode Island and New York City until October 9, 1908. Tests and experiments, of both submarine design and the tactical use of her type, continued from Norfolk, Virginia and Newport until she was placed in reserve at Charleston, South Carolina on February 14, 1910. Recommissioned on April 15, the submarine conducted experiments and served as a training vessel at Newport until May 10, 1913. C-1 was reassigned to Submarine Group 1, Torpedo Flotilla, Atlantic Fleet, and from May 29 – December 7 operated out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. She served in Panamanian waters in training, and later, on patrol during World War I until August 4, 1919, when she was decommissioned at Coco Solo in the Panama Canal Zone. Here, she was sold April 13, 1920.

n.p.: No printer or publisher listed, 1963. Good. Each poster approximately 36 x 57 cm. Modest soiling and wear (a corner tear, a few small scraped areas, etc.) Both stamped in lower right corner: Approved for Bulletin Boards [only the first letter of last word visible on second poster]. Both posters have gun safety messages handprinted in large letters on back side with a black marker: [First poster] "Colorado Hunting Accidents A. Intentional Discharge -- 53% 1. "Sight" Shot - 32.9% 2. Sound Shot -- 67.1 % B. Unintentional Discharge - 47% Discharge 1. Self Inflicted - 57% 2. Shooting Another Person 43% C. Average Results 1. 6 mo. in Hospital 2. $10,000 in BIlls and Lost Wages; [Second poster] "Every Hunter Must Know, Practice and Make Sure Others Know and Practice Safe Gun Handling Techniques !" The first poster mixes up the states governed by Wallace and Barnett (and also misspells Governor twice and Barnett once). The second poster seems like an undated college spoof in poor taste; the first poster is less clearly a spoof but we had no luck figuring out any place where these four speakers appeared serially. The handprinted gun safety message on the back of the first poster suggests Cororado as a location; nothing else on either poster seems to give a hint as to location. An odd pair of intriguing posters which may not have been posted anywhere.
