[Concord, N.H.: W.G.C. Kimball, Chase Block, 15 North Main Street, 1882. Cabinet card photograph (10.5 x 6 cm.). Photograph of Mary Whitcher by W.G.C. Kimball of Concord, N.H. Mary Whitcher was a member of New Hampshire's Canterbury Shaker community, a poetess, and the author of Mary Whitchers Shaker Housekeeper (1882), which is recognized as "the earliest cookbook in Shaker culinary literature, and the first to give bills of fare, or menus, for each day of the week together with 150 nutritious recipes for preparing a variety of fresh, natural foods. The book was not sold but was given, in accordance with the custom of the day, to those interested in the Shaker medicines advertised therein" (Amy Bess Miller, in the introduction to the 1972 facsimile edition of Shaker Cooking). The photograph is in fine condition, and contains a small contemporary ink inscription on the verso, "Mary Whitcher, Betsy Wright"

New York: Excelsior Publishing House, 1901. Excelsior Library of Popular Hand Books, no. 64. Small octavo (19 x 13 cm.), 477-556, [2] pages. Publisher's advertisements; illustrated. Later edition; originally published in 1878 in the series 'Haney's Trade Manuals', which included works on animal training and sign painting. This is the sole book in the series devoted to food of any sort. Haney's manuals were extracted originally from The Home Mechanic, a much larger work written by R.J. Schofield. We've located only one copy of the Home Mechanic, an 1897 printing, although there must have been earlier printings preceding the 1878 publication of this work. This confectioner's manual includes recipes for a wide selection of popular late nineteenth century candy, and also illustrations of a variety of machines and tools used for candy-making. Hinges reinforced at an early date, otherwise very good in lightly soiled publisher's printed, paper-covered boards over green cloth. [OCLC locates three copies of…

The maps show roads, road numbers, railways, prefectures, towns, monuments, and other details-verso front cover. Includes locations and index maps on cover as well as insets on some sheets. Each sheet is named and numbered individually. Some wear to edges, some wrappers worn a bit at the fold, but overall in remarkable condition. Very good.

Description:
Los Angeles: Times-Mirror Printing and Binding House, 1922. Octavo (23 x 15 cm.), 296, [xl] pages. Index. Advertisements. An ambitious anthology of some one thousand recipes, all but a few attributed, directed at an audience familiar with canapes, caviar, and cheese from Neufchâtel-en-Bray. A number were sent in by well-known chefs, presumably on request - for instance, Apricots With Rice and Delice Joseph Relish , both from Joseph Boggia of The Plaza in New York. The family of Secundo Guasti, at the time the largest producer of wine in California, generously contributed entries for fish, gnocchi, and ravioli, among others. Not to be outdone, Mrs. Connell stood her own Onion Soup against that of the chef of the California Club. In much of the United States, homeless children were aided by little or no public policy assistance, to say nothing of legislation. Attempts to address child welfare increased in the 1920s, notably in the form of charities such as The Cradle in Chicago, founded in 1923, which…
