Description
[Luton]: n.p. [Hambros Bank], 1939. Very good plus.. Album of photographs chronicling the activity of the Hambros Bank after it was evacuated to an estate at the start of WWII - once owned by a Hambros employee and likely produced by them for workers. As Hitler launched his air offensive against Britain in 1939, critical financial operations were evacuated away from population centers and into the English countryside. One evacuated business was Hambros Bank, an unassuming but influential institution started by a Danish Jewish immigrant in 1839. One of the important merchant banks of London known as "The Princes of the City," Hambros financed international interests including the Scandinavian timber industry. They were the first bank "to help continental diamond cutters fleeing Nazism," sowing the seeds for "a hefty business in London's diamond center" (TIME). The imminent threat of bombing led the bank's owner, Jack Hambro, to offer up his substantial family estate at The Hyde on the outskirts of Luton as an evacuation center for the bank's employees, ranging from messenger boys to the upper management. This album was likely produced by Hambros as a souvenir of sorts and distributed to the employees who took up residence at The Hyde. Huts were built on the grounds for the men employees, documented in this album - the Spartan accommodations were only slightly improved for the women employees who had rooms within the house, but the same saggy cots as the men. Among the more "business as usual" images - the management reviewing documents at a well-appointed desk, the correspondence department working away on typewriters surrounded by piles of paper with a crystal chandelier above - are striking images that remind the viewer of the chaos caused by frequent Luftwaffe air raids. A photo labeled "The Chain Gang" features men hefting boxes of records into the depths of a stone basement for safekeeping; sandbags are stacked high inside the walls behind two women playing ping pong in their off hours. Though the bank's history indicates that these fortifications were thankfully never put to the test, they were well warranted: Vauxhall tank and truck factory in nearby Luton was bombed in August 1940, less than a year after these photographs were taken, killing 39. This copy was owned by one of the women employees - the eighth photo, showing the "Correspondence and Day Book" department, features a woman in the back marked with an x and labeled "Me." She also is in "The Club Room" photograph again marked "Me" and concentrating on a knitting project. She has sprinkled pencil notes throughout the album, pointing out the screen hanging in the Bay room "for films" and identifying young men in line for a meal as "the comediens [sic] for the club concerts." She also names all of the kitchen staff in the "Preparing for Lunch" photo, and the young messengers in "Messengers at Lunch." A revealing and personal illustration of the upheaval of early WWII, and a perfect encapsulation of the "keep calm and carry on" attitude. 9.25'' x 10.75'' (leaves); 8'' x 10.25'' (photographs). Original faux leather cloth binding with gilt armorial stamp of the Hambros Bank, string-bound. 30 gelatin silver prints mounted to leaves one side only, each with printed captions. [31] leaves of thick brown paper. Scattered pencil annotations and two pen labels identifying the owner of the album. Binding with light edgewear, a touch of rubbing; a little shaken. Leaves with mild edgewear, a bit of soil to far bottom margins. Sound.

Description
Derby: n.p., 1920. Very good plus.. Original photograph album of a variety of costumes and accessories able to be rented from a photography studio in Derby, England, including outfits emblematic of the Imperial mindset of the 1920s. Clowns, court pages in awfully short shorts, and a powder puff are just a few of the variety of fancy dress costumes to be rented from the County Carnival Stores (and photograph studio) in Derby - "an unlimited selection at reasonable prices" as described by the DERBY DAILY TELEGRAPH in September 1921, intended to be worn to events and celebrations. The outfits in this album range from the charming (a butterfly costume with wings and a matching hat with antennae) to the strange (who wants to dress up like a target?!) to the nationalist (the helmet, trident, and Union Flag-emblazoned shield of Britannia). Most notably, several costumes are of cultural dress, including a "Hindoo Rajah" and a "Spanish Gipsy," as well as "Scotch Dress," with a kilt and sporran. The accessories continue this theme: alongside fezzes, Native American headdresses, and turbans there are no fewer than 12 British military hats and helmets. The inclusion of these costumes speaks to the prevailing nationalism of the British Isles at the time, rebounding from the traumas of WWI while suppressing the rising volume of protests in the British Raj and elsewhere around the Empire. The photograph studio predates the costume arm of the business, with this album likely being produced around 1920 and then stamped with the County Carnival Stores name sometime after; we find the earliest mention of the carnival name in 1924. This is reinforced by the label and price changes over the years. An attractive snapshot of both a cultural mindset and the history of having fun. 5.25'' x 3.25'' (most photographs); 7'' x 10.25'' (album). Original brown cloth boards with title stamped in black to front and rear. 26 photographs laid onto leaves recto and verso, 11 hand-colored, many with printed location "County Studios 1 & 2 Bold Lane Derby" printed to lower edge; 108 small black-and-white illustrated cutouts of hats and other accessories. Photos and illustrations all with captions, many on printed labels pasted over earlier captions. [8] thick leaves. Scattered pencil annotations. Binding with light edgewear, some soil; a bit shaken. Leaves with scattered faint soil, some photos with mild rubbing. Firm.

Description
Bridgeport, CT: Vinegar Syndrome, 2024. Like New. 4K UHD disc and Blu-ray disc. As New in slipcase. From the dynamite team of filmmaker Bob Chinn and producer Harry Mohney, Peekarama presents this duo of star studded sex comedies headlined by Hyapatia Lee! Trouble is brewing at a small town phone help line. The girls have just found out that they are slated to be replaced by computers. Determined to show their bosses that technology is no match for their skills, they begin offering their callers erotic conversations the likes of which have never been heard before! A fast-paced comedy on why the 'human touch' will always outvalue automation, THE YOUNG LIKE IT HOT co-stars Kay Parker (Taboo), Shauna Grant (Suzie Superstar), Herschel Savage (Trashy Lady), and William Margold (Dracula Sucks). It's summer and beautiful young college freshman, Laura, is home from school and bored out of her mind. With her boyfriend out of town and her friends offering only limited fun, Laura decides to spend the summer finding herself. In the process she uncovers a world of sexual delights she never knew existed. Blending subtle humor and coming of age drama, SWEET YOUNG FOXES is a low-key character study which again co-stars Kay Parker (SexWorld), along with Eric Edwards (Corporate Assets), and Pat Manning (Nasty Nurses). Peekarama is thrilled to present both films in brand new, 4K restorations from their 35mm original negatives, along with a brand new interview with director, Bob Chinn.
