Ownership stamp of G. Cuvier. This is likely the stamp of Cuvier, Georges baron 1769-1832, the French naturalist and zoologist, whose work was very important in the field of vertebrate palaeontology. He was the director of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris off and on between the years of 1808 and 1831. Here with two stamps from the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle ("Bibliotheque du Muse[um] and Museum d'histoire Naturelle").

I've never really considered myself to be a "journaler". But I guess I've hit the point that it is undeniable. These are some of the books I have filled with writing- going all the way back to when I was 13.
This is an example of a Gospel Lectionary written in the archaic, majuscule form of Greek letters. Liturgical books were inherently conservative and therefore apt to retain such antiquated writing. The scribe, a certain monk Theodore, has recorded his name in a verse at the end of the volume (fol. 179v). A leaf removed from this manuscript ca. 1900 is now in Sofia (National Library of Bulgaria, Greek MS 2).

Tim Burton @ the MoMA
November 22, 2009–April 26, 2010
11 West 53rd Street, NYC
by navema
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City is hosting a retrospective showcase of Tim Burton’s iconic work within its walls.
Taking inspiration from popular culture, Tim Burton (American, b. 1958) has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as an expression of personal vision, garnering for himself an international audience of fans and influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics. This exhibition explores the full range of his creative work, tracing the current of his visual imagination from early childhood drawings through his mature work in film. It brings together over seven hundred examples of rarely or never-before-seen drawings, paintings, photographs, moving image works, concept art, storyboards, puppets, maquettes, costumes, and cinematic ephemera from such films as Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman, Mars Attacks!, Ed Wood, and Beetlejuice, and from unrealized and little-known personal projects that reveal his talent as an artist, illustrator, photographer, and writer working in the spirit of Pop Surrealism. The gallery exhibition is accompanied by a complete retrospective of Burton’s theatrical features and shorts, as well as a lavishly illustrated publication.
Burton's films include Vincent (1982), Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985), Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), Batman Returns (1992), The Nightmare Before Christmas (as creator and producer) (1993), Ed Wood (1994), Mars Attacks! (1996), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Big Fish (2003), Corpse Bride (2005), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Sweeney Todd (2007); writing and Web projects include The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories (1997) and Stainboy (2000).
Inscription reads:
"Screening Room":
'5 chairs with different personalities:
a couple of business types talking about the films from a financial & marketing point of view
1 intellectual type film critic
1 who laughs at everything
and one who sleeps through most everything'

NOTES:
The Abbott and Costello Cartoon Show is an American half-hour animated series that aired in syndication from September 9, 1967 to June 1, 1968. Each of the 39 individual episodes consisted of four five-minute cartoons. [1] The cartoons were created jointly by Hanna-Barbera, RKO and Jomar Productions between 1965 and 1967. The series was syndicated by Gold Key Entertainment and King World Productions.
The primary feature of this cartoon series was the fact that Bud Abbott supplied the voice for his own character. (Because Lou Costello had died in 1959, his character's voice was performed by Stan Irwin.)
William (Bud) Abbott and Lou Costello (born Louis Francis Cristillo) performed together as Abbott and Costello, an American comedy duo whose work in radio, film and television made them the most popular comedy team during the 1940s and 50s. Thanks to the endurance of their most popular and influential routine, "Who's on First?"—whose rapid-fire word play and comprehension confusion set the preponderant framework for most of their best-known routines—the team is, as a result, featured in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. (Contrary to popular belief, however, the duo was not inducted into the Hall.)
The team's first known radio appearance was on The Kate Smith Hour in February, 1938. "Who's on First?" was first performed for a national radio audience the following month.[1] Abbott and Costello stayed on the program as regulars for two years, but the similarities between their New Jersey-accented voices made it difficult for listeners (as opposed to stage audiences) to tell them apart due to their rapid-fire repartee. The problem was solved by having Costello affect a high-pitched childish voice, and their remaining tenure on the Smith show was successful enough to get them roles in a Broadway revue "The Streets of Paris" in 1939.
In 1940 they were signed by Universal Studios for the film One Night in the Tropics. Cast in supporting roles, they stole the show with several classic routines, including "Who's on First?" The same year they were a summer replacement on radio for Fred Allen. Two years later, they had their own NBC show.
Universal signed them to a long-term contract, and their second film, Buck Privates, (1941) made them box-office stars. In most of their films, the plot was a framework for the two comics to reintroduce comedy routines they first performed on stage. Universal also added glitzy, gratuitous production numbers (a formula borrowed from the Marx Brothers comedies) featuring The Andrews Sisters, Ted Lewis and his Orchestra, Ella Fitzgerald, and other musical acts. They made 36 films together between 1940 and 1956. Abbott and Costello were among the most popular and highest-paid entertainers in the world during World War II. Other film successes included Hold That Ghost, Who Done It?, Pardon My Sarong, The Time of Their Lives, Buck Privates Come Home, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man.
In 1942, Abbott and Costello were the top box office draw with a reported take of $10 million. They would remain a top ten box office attraction until 1952.
In 1951, they moved to television as rotating hosts of The Colgate Comedy Hour. (Eddie Cantor and Martin and Lewis were among the others.) Each show was a live hour of vaudeville in front of a theater audience, revitalizing the comedians' performances and giving their old routines a new sparkle.
Beginning in 1952, a filmed half-hour series, The Abbott and Costello Show, appeared in syndication on local stations across the country. Loosely based on their radio series, the show cast the duo as unemployed wastrels. One of the show's running gags involved Abbott perpetually nagging Costello to get a job to pay their rent, while Abbott barely lifted a finger in that direction. The show featured Sidney Fields as their landlord, and Hillary Brooke as a friendly neighbor who sometimes got involved in the pair's schemes. Another semi-regular was Joe Besser as Stinky, a 40-year-old sissy dressed in a Little Lord Fauntleroy suit. Gordon Jones was Mike the cop, who always lost patience with Lou. The simple plotlines were often merely an excuse to recreate old comedy routines—including "Who's on First?" and other familiar set pieces—from their films and burlesque performances

The Central Delta Depot & Museum in Brinkley, Arkansas, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Central Delta Depot & Museum was built as the Brinkley Union Train Depot in 1912. The depot hosted Rock Island and Cotton Belt passenger trains. Nearly 500 passengers a day passed through Brinkley at the height of rail travel between WWI and WWII.
As the 50's became the 60's those numbers declined. Cotton Belt passenger service ended at Brinkley in 1959. The Rock Island held on until 1967.
A letter writing campaign was started in 1999 to save the depot. Union Pacific, who now owned the depot, and area politicians were petitioned to save the depot and use it as a museum.
In February 2001 Union Pacific deeded the property to the city of Brinkley. The city in turned gave a long-term lease to the Central Delta Historical Society for their museum.
Ground breaking began in May 2001 and by May 2003 the depot was restored and opened as the Central Delta Depot & Museum.

Dear Parents
I received a letter from you this morning also a package of paper. I wrote you a letter yesterday, I filled two sheets full of nonsense. You will get plenty of letters from me now for while we lay here and I have nothing to pass away the time with I will write often.
I am glad you got that money alright, for it is a good ways to send it and then are so many accidents happens on the river. I gave Perry Wiseman money to pay the express charges but he did not do it, it would only have cost a dollar if he had, he said he thought that if the money was lost I would not lose the charges.
Our Major returned from the enemy lines with a flag of truce, Albert Goble (?) was with him. He says they are three miles on this side of Clinton. I did not hear what they went for.
I suppose that we will not be paid for sometime now, on account of the burning of the steamer Reuth (?), with two million five hundred thousand dollars on board. It will be no loss to the Government for if lost, they will never have to be redeemed.
If I had known that there would have been furloughs given, I would not have sent those forty dollars home until I found out whether I would get a furlough or not.
I have received and answered _____ letter I also wrote one to Brownburgers yesterday. I have answered all my letters except one to Gray. Ema owes me one yet, and I have never received that letter that George spoke about writing.
I wrote you a letter telling you to make me a couple of shirts and to send by Johnathan Miller, also a handkerchief and a couple pairs of socks. If you have not got them yet I don’t care if they are half cotton, but I want something good and strong.
What in the world makes you write such little short letters, write often and long letters, write anything at all, papers also are always welcome, you can’t imagine how blue it makes a fellow feel to have a mail come and you running almost to break your neck, and have whoever is distributing it ring out “no mail for you”. Then long days are very _______ , but if a fellow gets a mail, why he can dream of the good things at home and those that are near and dear to him, now write long letters, things that appear uninteresting to you will not appear so to me, but will be interesting to me, tell me of the improvements that are going on about town, and if nothing else will do tell me how often father goes down town of a week and what he buys of a Saturday night. I think that after this long lecture that I will get a good long letter.
Our Lieutenant is a little fellow about the size of the famous Bob F. who says that Cr.S. run a Pittsburgh Landing, though he don’t put on so much style. He has old _____ and a contrary hand to cook and wait upon him.
But here I have written a sheet nearly full and I started to write only a few words. Remember the lecture above and write good long letter to Your Son
