This photograph album measures 10" x 7" and contains approximately 275 photographs plus another ten or so cyanotypes. The images range in size from 2.75" x 2.25" to 5.75" x 3.5". All of the images have been glued to the album pages. Many of the images are captioned in the margin or on the page. Sound binding. Everything is in nice shape.
Many of the images in this album were taken in and around a family farm (perhaps named "Breezy Hollow") on Winter Street, just north of Claremont, New Hampshire. The clothing, carriages, sleighs, and signage suggest it spans the years from the early 1900s until 1920 (one of the last photographs is captioned Armistice Day).
Most depict family and friends, the family's large home, life on the farm, dogs, cats, snowfalls, carriages, automobiles (including Cadillacs), and very many horses. Specific locations mentioned are Glidden Hill, Crescent Lake, Claremont, and West Claremont.
About ten photos are from a trip to Washington, DC that was taken in 1906 and another ten from a later trip to Europe.
Some of the more interesting images are of
The 101 Ranch Wild West Show (nine images show the performers (including the "Oldest Indian with any circus") parading down a city street with local stores in the background,
Polo ponies (two images),
The aftermath of a serious flood (three images),
An uprooted railroad track twisted like a corkscrew.
A "ruined" farm, and
An empty tree that 13 people had climbed to save themselves from the waters,
The Wright Flyer (one image of Orville and Wilbur's famous airplane flying overhead),
Claremont's 150th Anniversary Parade (14 images including some of participating Native Americans),
A serious railroad train accident (two photos showing three partially derailed and overturned passenger coaches),
A neighbor who had joined the Canadian Army dressed in his kilted uniform,
A work-crew of Italian immigrants laying a pipeline from Straws Reservoir to Doles, and many more.

Description:
No place indicated: No publisher indicated, c. 1940. Leaflet. This is a rare and fascinating wartime propaganda piece ridiculing British Prime Minister Winton Churchill's Second World War alliance of convenience with Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin. The unsigned, undated leaflet reproduces excerpts from five unidentified pieces of Churchills writing. The leaflet measures 8.125 x 5.875 inches (20.6 x 14.9 cm) and is printed only on the recto. Churchills bibliographer Ronald Cohen gives no publisher or location for this item. The poor English of the introduction and the use of a z with a horizontal stroke through it leads us to speculate that this leaflet is continental, possibly German, propaganda. The leaflet ends by turning Churchills words into a derisive attack on the alleged hypocrisy of Britains wartime alliance: We cannot treat with Bolshevism but you can make the supreme sacrifice so that it can overturn existing civilization by stealth, by propaganda, and by bloody force. The effect…

"Compiled from actual assessments and authentic sources." Short leaf of Omissions and Corrections bound in. An index of names with locations and occupations followed by financial worth. The Preface, in full: "It had been suggested to the compiler to accompany some of the names with biographical notices; arduous as such an undertaking would have proved itself, no pains should have been spared to gratify the public; but the consideration, in order to do justice to all, impartiality would have been requisite, and to have been faithful, many of the notices might have been viewed either as 'invidious or lavish,'—dissuaded the compiler to change this feature. Care has been taken not to overrate men’s wealth. Should there be any errors or omissions discovered, they will be corrected…

Description:
1920. Flexible boards. Very good. Octavo, unpaginated (about 100pp.). A blank ruled notebook, bound in limp black cloth, measuring about 4.5" x 7" (11cm x 18cm). 64 leaves used, either in whole or in part. On each of those leaves is pasted a number of seals, labels, or blindstamps for various businesses, most of which are located in England, Scotland, or Wales. These were arranged alphabetically, with blank leaves between each letter. The seals are generally in very good condition, though the pages have some waviness, probably from the glue used to affix them. We have not endeavored to do a total count, but, averaging more than ten to a page, there are, very conservatively, at least 750 labels in this volume. There are notable concentrations in Glasgow, Paisley, Belfast, Manchester, Dundee, and a few other cities, all of which were early centers of the Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom (in addition to a handful of continental European businesses). While there are a number of labels, there…
