Quite fascinating, the manual contains many illustrations noting basic recruit and squad techniques for formation and marching as well as proper technique and formation for establishing units of "stretcher squads" and all associated medical procedures.

The manual is leather bound, complete, and has a total of 61 printed pages with 10 additional blank pages in the back suitable for note taking. Measurements are a convenient 5.25" X 4". The condition is generally good although the binding has separated and the covers show modest wear with one loose page and an edge piece missing.

This carefree print features a Mother playing the piano as her young children dance and older siblings look on.

Photography was a challenge in an attempt to avoid flash reflections. As such, please note that the subtle coloring- grays, pinks, greens, blues, and yellows- are even throughout the print, with crisp, clear detailing. Any distortion seen in pics is entirely due to photography challenges only!

CONTENTS INCLUDE: A discussion on the HISTORY - PURPOSE - PREPARATION - EXAM - DIAGNOSIS - and MUCH MORE.

THE TREATMENT is copiously discussed and is enhanced by diagrams, actual pre and post treatment photos. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL HISTORY OF DENTISTRY!

The double gutta-percha case measures 2.5 inches wide x 3 inches long x .75 inches deep when closed, and 5 inches wide when opened. The case appears to be in excellent condition!

The two cased tin types are each further framed within different press-molded, thin, ornate, brass frame and behind a little pane of glass. Each tin type is labeled with the name of the woman: the bonneted woman is Sarah Lavinia Piquet, and the long-haired woman is Maria Rogere.

Mid-19th century age is an approximation based on clothing style as well as decorative art in photo and style of double case.

Condition of tin types is excellent- **ANY white marks seen in photographs are caused by light reflection and are NOT damage.**

Offered are two different styles of quarantine signs, and each sign is being sold separately.

These signs are unused stock from the 1930 - 1940s era, and except for a few edge crimps, are in excellent condition. They measure 14"L x 12"H and are printed on a heavy, bight orange-colored stock. Please note that the colors are even throughout-- the flash has caused the appearance of uneven coloration. Perfect for framing!

George Thompson’s missionary service to Africa occurs approximately 7 years after the MENDI natives of the AMISTAD were accompanied by missionaries on their return to Africa. He serves this very same mission, now in the of colony Sierra Leone, a colony which was established to serve as refuge for the liberated Africans taken from slave ships. 356 pages long, this journal provides a fascinating account of all aspects of the Mendi culture seen through the eyes, however biased in his mission to convert the Africans to Christianity, of a genuinely well-meaning gentleman of his time. Condition: complete, tight binding, foxing throughout, spine wear as shown in picture.

Thompson states, “It is hoped that the following narrative may, in the hands of GOD, awaken a desire in many hearts to go to Africa, for the purposes of preaching, teaching, farming, building houses, mills, manufactories, etc., and thus assist in making long despised and neglected AFRICA, what it is capable of becoming, THE GARDEN OF THE WORLD.”

Mounted on a museum-quality, acid-free, foam core backing (which can be used as the backing when the piece is later framed), and protectively encased in shrink-wrap until ready to be framed, this map remains in superb condition-- no rips, tears, foxing or other discoloration. All print and map detailing is very sharp and easily read. Please note that any white marks seen in photos are due to light reflection off of the shrink-wrap and do not represent a condition problem.

A fascinating look back into historical 19th century Asian geography!

The hardbound text measures 14" L x 12" W. The cloth covers are faded with worn edges. The back cover remains bound to the spine. The front cover has become unbound from the book spine but remains loosely attached to the book via its cloth binding. The pages have light unobtrusive foxing while the hand-coloring remains unchanged by time. The majority of the maps and images measure 9.5" x 12" at the decorative borders. There are a handful of larger maps measuring 12" x 16" at their borders, i.e. Texas, Pennsylvania, California, USA, and South America (a bit smaller).
