A Flower of Light
No Place Stated. Privately Printed 1886 First Edition Hardcover Very Good/No Jacket Photos/Illustrations
Octavo, 508pp., Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. Top edge is gilt. Mounted photos of young girls as illustrations. Some foxing. The story of a young child named Bettie who was constantly plagued with illness and finally perished. Many of the names in the book are printed as Mrs. W-----, or Mr. J. L------ as to protect identities. It seems as though this is a true story. Not uncommon for wealthy people to publish such material in their grief. Victorian era grief commonly reach manic proportions. A death during Victorian times required long periods of mourning traditions, and was accompanied by many grief rituals. The longest mourning period was for the death of a spouse, and usually lasted a minimum of 2 years. But just grieving wasn't enough; a person was required to dress for the occasion. There were even stages of mourning, requiring different apparel. Full Mourning lasted a year and one day, and women were expected to wear black crepe or dull materials that had no sheen or shine. For one entire year, a woman could not leave her house without Full Mourning attire and a weeping veil. She could attend church services, but was never to be seen at places of amusement or entertainment.Even the houses were fully draped in black crepe banners to signify that there had been a death. Some elderly widows remained in mourning for the rest of their lives. Queen Victoria had made mourning a fashionable tradition. Her husband, Prince Albert, died of typhoid in 1861. She dressed her entire court in mourning attire, and remained in Full Mourning clothes for 3 years.

Pencil Points A Journal for the Drafting Room Volume IV 1923
Stamford, Ct Pencil Points Press 1923 First Edition Hardcover Very Good/No Jacket Photos/Illustrations
Quarto, Gilt lettered spine. Cover is very lightly rubbed. Contents clean. Contains all numbers for the year 1923. Bound in brown cloth. The first issue of the legendary architecture journal Pencil Points appeared in 1920 as "a journal for the drafting room." Born out of The Architectural Review, and merged with Progressive Architecture in 1943, Pencil Points became the leading voice in architectural and graphic design when modernism flourished, introducing key players from America and Europe. It also established the agenda in architectural theory: multivolume pieces by John Harbeson, Talbot Hamlin, Hugh Ferris, and others dealt with major issues that are still relevant today such as architectural education and practice, small-house design and portable housing, city planning, and the influence (or not) of modernism. Over the years it also included items like George Nelson's series of reports from Europe in the early 1930 s, H. Van Buren Magonigle's diatribes against modernism, and a glossary of Ecole des Beaux-Arts terms sit side-by-side with the best architectural drawings and photographs of the 20th century.
