Original Caption: Treaty of Paris. The treaty, sent to Congress by the American negotiators, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay, formally ended the Revolutionary War. They emerged from the peace process with one of the most advantageous treaties ever negotiated for the United States. Two crucial provisions of the treaty were British recognition of U.S. independence and the delineation of boundaries that would allow for American western expansion. There are two duplicate originals of the treaty in the American Original file that are most easily distinguished from each other by the orientation of their seals, horizontal on one and vertical on the other.

On August 29 1914 New Zealand forces captured German Samoa after being asked to do so by Great Britain. When war broke out in Europe in August 1914, Britain asked New Zealand to seize German Samoa as a ‘great and urgent Imperial service’. New Zealand’s response was swift. Led by Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Logan, the 1385-strong Samoa Advance Party of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force landed at Apia on 29 August. There was no resistance from German officials or Samoa’s general population.
The German flag was lowered and all buildings and properties belonging to the previous administration were seized. In the presence of officers, troops and ‘leading Native chiefs’, the British flag was raised outside the government building in Apia. The document pictured is the orders Logan received from Colonel Braithwaite to seize German Samoa. Braithwaite was a British Army Officer who had been seconded to the New Zealand Military Forces from 1911 to 1917. Archives New Zealand holds the military personnel files for Colonel Robert Logan and Colonel William Braithwaite. These files are digitised and can be accessed from the following links:

In an effort to 1. regain my crafting mojo and 2. draw more, I've decided to do a 365 sketch project. Sketch-a-day, eh? I can't promise they'll be good or interesting or anything :/
Pte Hayward William Stewart was a soldier with the 16th Battalion Highland Light Infantry and was killed on 18 November 1916 at Beaumont Hamel.
He is buried at Waggon Road Cemetery (originally V Corps Cemetery No.10) at Beaumont Hamel.
Beaumont-Hamel was captured in November 1916, in the Battle of the Ancre, and the graves in this cemetery are largely those of men who died at that time. The burials were carried out by the V Corps in the spring of 1917, after the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line.
Waggon Road Cemetery (originally V Corps Cemetery No.10) contains 195 First World War burials (36 unidentified), 46 of them belonging to the 11th Battalion the Border Regiment, which attacked in the Ancre in both July and November 1916.

A girl with a broom by Rembrandt van Ryn, Dutch school, 1606-1669, canvas, height 42 1/4 in., width 36 in. Signed and dated 1651.
Andrew Mellon Collection
A soft shaft of light picks out a young girl pausing in her daily household and lost in thought. She leans gently on a fence and holds her well-used broom.
What could be more mundane or more trivial? And yet it is just such a simple scene that Rembrandt has infused with great depth of feeling.

A circular issued by the brewers Allsopp's of Burton, that most famous of brewing towns, initimating a fall in the price of beer after the successful harvest of 1861. The formality of the letter is typical of the period - all very proper!
Allsopp's were, at this date, one of the biggest brewers in the important brewing town - but they were to struggle in later years. They finally, in 1935, merged with Ind Coope and so passed into Allied Brewers.
I haven't posted a Filofax picture in so long. I decided to start documenting my juicing concoctions in my Filo mostly because I forget what I put with what; especially if it turns out decent! ;-)
This particular concoction was carrots, beet, collard greens, watercress, English cucumber and wheatgrass. Delicious? No. It tastes like something at the bottom of a swamp; however, it is so healthy. I will continue to choke down my concoctions! :-) I'll start experimenting with some fruits to sweeten my veggies up a little bit. ;-)
1912 postmarked postcard view of the Pennsylvania Railroad Passenger Station in Logansport, Indiana. A train had stopped at the station and several passengers waited nearby. A hotel station wagon was parked beside the station at the left.
This view was looking east-northeast. The structure at the left edge of the postcard was a porch-like extension at the southeast corner of the Island View Hotel (per the 1911 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Logansport). The barely visible white façade just beyond the depot identified the location of the US Railway Mail Transfer Building. Beyond that was the Pennsylvania Railroad YMCA Building. The large circular tank farther east was a 100,000 cubic foot gas storage tank owned by Indiana Lighting Co. That tank was located on the south side of Erie Avenue between Oak and Elm Streets.
The nearer of the two steeples in the background probably belonged to the First Presbyterian Church. That church was located at Spencer and Seventh Streets. A sign below the steeple appears to include the word FRUITS. That building was at least three stories tall. The 1911 map set shows the G. Caruso Fruit & Vegetable Warehouse in a three-story building on the northeast corner at Fifth and Canal Streets. The other steeple (above the right edge of the gas tank) probably belonged to the St. James Lutheran Church at Ninth and Spear Streets. The dome just above the train cars probably belonged to the Christian Church, located at Ninth and Spear Streets. The chimney to the left of the dome may have been the 70-foot-tall chimney at Obenchain & Boyer Chemical Co., located northwest of Berkley Street on Erie Avenue. The two-story white building that appears to be at the end of the track housed a restaurant and was used for boarding according to the 1911 map set.
A young man was standing between the tracks near the train. The word STAR was printed on the bag over his shoulder.
The postcard message was written by “Irish” to Miss Ollive [Olive?] Deineger at Donovan, Illinois. Irish said he was working at this depot and gave his address as 1210 Erie Avenue. A single-family dwelling was located at that address southwest of Twelfth Street.
From a private collection.

38 old maps of England folded and bound in a leather book.
Most seem to have been printed from copper plates made by
Richard Blome in the 1660s and 1670s. The plates were modified
and Bloom's name was removed from many of the plates before
this set of maps was printed at a later date. Most of the plates
measured 9 x 7-1/2 inches. Book was found in New Jersey, USA.
Please note that I know nothing about old maps. The backs of the
maps was used as a notebook/ledger in 1726. I have posted some
images of the ledger. Some of the names and dates found on these maps are:
Richard Blome
W. Hollar secit
R. P. sculp
Richard Palmer
1667
1670
1671
1672

Update: This appears to be "England Exactly Described"
published by Thomas Taylor in 1715.
From: www.llgc.org.uk/index.php?id=thomastayloratlas5210
"Taylor was also responsible for the publication of several
maps including England exactly described [...] in 1715
containing maps of the English counties which had been
issued previously in Speed's Maps Epitomiz'd in
1681 and in other works. "
I need help debugging this. The image is a screenshot of Word 2011 bug effects that are standing in the path of a book am finishing. Detail: I am using Microsoft® Word for Mac 2011, Version 14.21.3 (111085). While the Print view looks fine, and clicking on any text shows the correct style in the Styles toolbox, the Outline view has big problems. Lines of normal text, regardless of formatting, show up in the Outline view as Level 1. They also show up as Level 1 or 2 in the Document Map Pane sidebar, which is the pane on the left. I use this pane to navigate around the book, which is close to 300 pages and over 80,000 words. I can fix the problem by clicking on the line of text incorrectly seen by word as Heading 1, clearing the formatting, and re-formatting it if necessary. But that takes me about an hour each time this happens, and it's a huge PITA. Word's AutoRecovery works rarely, and when it does, the AutoRecovered file has the same problem. FWIW, I don't use any fancy formatting, instead relying on Word's own default Headings and other styles. Also, if I save in Outline view, ALL TEXT gets turned into Level 1, and the document is hosed. I just have to go back to the last good copy. Any clues or help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. And please don't tell me not to use Word. It's a requirement for getting the book in, and if I could avoid it, I would.

Penn Libraries call number: Inc A-938 Folio
Today was a pretty packed day. I’ll try and keep the description shorter this time. Anyway my day started off easily with parking right into a nice spot, minimal traffic, and nicely on time for my classes. After my classes were done I met one of my friends for lunch at the college cafeteria. My friend, his cousin, and I all ate lunch and then headed to the library to do some homework and study. Then our other friend Cindy also met up with us. Cindy and I worked on our precalc homework and Ricky worked on his calc. His cousin also did precalc but he was in a different class so we couldn’t do the work with him since he had other problems for homework. We worked from about 12:00 to 2:10. Then I went over to my lab. My Geology lab is real fun actually. It’s funny we did a lab assignment to day which included writing out in chalk 4.6 billion years in meters. I did the same project my freshman year of high school and so I kind of remember the steps to the lab. My group was pretty funny, and when we finished the notes and questions we needed to answer we were able to go home early. Time is the only bummer of the lab, it goes from 2:30-5:20pm (that is A LOT of Geology…).
Anyway, I’m now working on homework, so have a good night everyone!

One of the most ambitious design projects of 2005, The Guardian's redesign
has already led to increased sales in the declining newspaper market.
Having decided to shrink its traditional broadsheet format, The Guardian redesigned every aspect of the newspaper. Its design team, led by creative director Mark Porter, chose the Berliner format with five columns on each page. They devised rigorous grids to ensure legibility and coherence, and developed new ways of using colour to enhance photography, illustration and infographics. The Guardian also commissioned a new typeface – Guardian Egyptian – with over 200 different fonts, designed by Christian Schwartz and Paul Barnes.
