Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ONCE UPON A TIME: Bedtime Stories for College Grads Who Will Never Own a HomeAre you a college graduate who did everything right, followed every rule, and still found yourself staring at an impossible housing market Meet Marcus: thirty-two years old, armed with two degrees, buried under $84,000 in student debt, and clutching a grandmother's mug that inspiringly reads 'DREAM BIG' on one side and a harsh economic reality on the other.This darkly satirical, beautifully illustrated cautionary tale turns classic folklore upside down to expose the absurdities of modern adulting. From fairy tale characters who somehow secured entire woodland properties with zero credit checks to modern listings where mattresses are sold separately and starter homes cost millions, this book speaks directly to anyone navigating the burnout of perpetual renting, unpaid labor, and soaring inflation.Key Features & Highlights: - A Relatable Modern Fable: Follows Marcus's journey from graduation to living in his parents' basement as he discovers that the rules of the economic game changed right after he received his diploma.- Vintage Art Meets Modern Bureaucracy: Features one-and-twenty vintage engravings by masters like Doré, Rackham, and Crane, cleverly defaced with the paperwork of contemporary life-including eviction notices, price tags, and rejection stamps.- The Ultimate Generation-X & Millennial Anthem: A witty, biting, and deeply comforting mirror for anyone who has ever stared down a Zillow listing at 2:00 AM and wondered where the American Dream went.Snuggle up. The rent is due. Perfect for anyone who needs a cathartic laugh in a world where 'happily ever after' is subject to credit appro.…

No Binding. Zustand: Fine. This highly historical lot features a trio of early 19th-century bank checks signed by prominent early Jewish-American merchants and figures in American finance between 1803 and 1819. Sourced from a meticulously preserved private collection, these authentic documents offer a tangible connection to the nascent banking systems of New York and Philadelphia. The collection is anchored by a July 17, 1803, check for seven dollars drawn from the Merchants' Bank in the City of New-York, signed by Ephraim Hart a highly successful merchant and one of the original signatories of the 1792 Buttonwood Agreement that founded the New York Stock Exchange and endorsed on the reverse by James C. Roosevelt. Also included is a November 15, 1819, check for nine dollars from the Farmers and Mechanics Bank in Philadelphia signed by Hyman Gratz, a prominent wholesale grocer, civic leader, and the namesake of Gratz College, North America's first independent college of Jewish studies. Completing the lot is an August 6, 1818, check for thirty dollars signed by Philadelphia merchant Isaiah Nathans to Abraham Wolf, who is historically noted in local records for receiving a four-dollar fine for working on a Sunday. Each English-language check features period cut or manuscript cancellations marking them as successfully paid. Together, these pieces provide an exceptional glimpse into early American commerce, blue laws, and the daily business operations of the early Jewish-American community. Historical Importance of Each Figure Ephraim Hart (1747-1825): A wealthy merchant and a crucial figure in American financial history. He was one of the 24 brokers who signed the Buttonwood Agreement in 1792, which officially established the New York Stock Exchange. He was also a prominent leader in New York's early Jewish community and served as president of Congregation Shearith Israel. James C. Roosevelt (1770-1840): The endorser on the back of the Ephraim Hart check. He was a successful merchant, a prominent member of New York high society, and an early patriarch of the famous Roosevelt political dynasty (he was the great-grandfather of President Franklin D. Roosevelt). Isaiah Nathans: A notable Jewish merchant operating in early 19th-century Philadelphia. His surviving financial documents are collected as prime examples of everyday commerce within the era's Jewish business community. Abraham Wolf: The payee on the Nathans check. He represents a fascinating piece of early American social history, as he is documented in local Philadelphia records for being fined $4 for working on a Sunday—a direct clash between Jewish religious observance and early American "blue laws." Hyman Gratz (1776-1857): A highly influential Philadelphia wholesale grocer, civic leader, and philanthropist. He served as a director of the Pennsylvania Company for Insurances on Lives and Granting Annuities. His lasting legacy is Gratz College, the first independent college of Jewish studies in North America, which was founded using a trust established from his estate. Jenings Jones & Co: The payee on the Hyman Gratz check. This was an active mercantile firm in early 19th-century Philadelphia, representing the day-to-day B2B commerce of Gratz's wholesale grocery empire. Signed by Author(s).…

Onderdonk, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York from 1830-1861.Bound in a later cloth, with the original wraps.Onderdonk received a number of affidavits of women who alleged that Onderdonk had made improper advances towards them and had engaged in improper touching. This eventually resulted in a trial before the House of Bishops. Prior to this a number of letters were published accusing Onderdonk of being overly sympathetic to Roman Catholicism. Throughout, the Bishop maintained his innocence.Also all the following pamphlets were compiled by or regarding James C. Richmond, Presbyter of Rhode Island and a key conspirator during the time.

Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. Extensive collection of original watercolors, designs, sketches, blueprints, and other plans primarily of fireplace designs from the renowned English furniture designers. Founded in the late 1700s in Leeds, Marsh, Jones, & Cribb became one of the most celebrated furniture designers of the Victorian era, and their reputation endured well into the 20th century. The material in this archive focuses mainly on the firm's chimneypieces, hearths, mantels, and other fireplace elements (columns, capitals, finials, etc.), which MJ&C offered in both readymade and bespoke options. The designs here likely represent work for the latter category. The heart of the collection is a series of more than thirty stunning and ornate watercolors that situate each fireplace in a finished room, complete with paneled walls, sconces, furnishings, window treatments, doors, lighting, plants, framed art, and books on shelves - including several with evocatively lit or smoldering fires. Many of the tableaux show the clear influence of Frank Lloyd Wright, and similarly straddle the transition from the Arts & Crafts designs of the Edwardian period to the modern Art Deco tastes of the Jazz Age. These watercolors are augmented by several dozen preliminary sketches, as well as two copies of the firm's catalogue of Chimneypieces (dated 1921), one of which contains seven hand-colored plates, almost certainly by the same artist and likely prepared as a mockup for a revision following the firm's 1930 merger with James Chappell & Son. Of particular interest is a spectacular, almost doll-house-like four-panel series of a fully completed room design, with one panel for each wall. The completed watercolor design shows the breadth of decorative services offered by the firm, from fine oak furniture and decorative plasterwork to lighting and upholstery. Its four-panel layout brings the viewer into the room, creating a compelling illusion of the atmosphere in the room. The archive includes three additional trade catalogues from the firm and two from one of their suppliers (Lee Fabrics of Birkenhead), an original pencil-sketched plan by Marsh, Jones, & Cribb for a home remodel in Leeds, two large architect's blueprints for domestic projects by Trollope & Sons of London for which MJ&C presumably supplied elements, two large finished bedroom designs in ink and watercolor, three finished sketches for furniture and window treatment designs, and an undated photograph of the staff. A vivid and exquisite portrait of high-end bespoke English architecture and interior design between the wars. Includes: 36 finished watercolors, 24 mounted on board (most with tissue overlays), 8 loose sizes (ranging from 3'' x 4.5'' to 8.25'' x 12'', but vast majority c. 6.26'' x 8.25''), plus four finished watercolors of a complete room executed directly on board (two 7.75'' x 11.25'' and two 7.75'' x 16.5''). With: 25 preliminary and detail pencil sketches (totaling some 60+ individual drawings) mounted on 21 sheets of notebook paper, plus 6 loose on tracing paper; three finished sketches for furniture and window treatments; seven printed trade catalogues issued by the firm and their suppliers, including one hand-colored mockup; gelatin silver black-and-white snapshot photograph of staff; one original sketch plan by Marsh Jones And Cribb for a house remodel in Leeds (with municipal approval stamp dated 1938); two large architectural plans (folded); and two finished bedroom designs in ink and watercolor (each 10'' x 14.5''). All neatly housed in two archival boxes. Very good to near fine overall.…
