The First Jewish Workers Club in Yekaterinoslav

When?

Description: As it was a busy industrial city, Dnipropetovsk also provided a rich urban setting for the development of a large and active Jewish community. Jewish workers were involved in numerous trades in the city, but Jewish life extended beyond the shop walls. Dnipropetovsk was home to several synagogues as well as a variety of political and social institutions. During the early 20th century the city was a site of much political action amongst Jews aligned with different ideologies such as the Jewish Labor Bund and various Zionist parties. These various political associations frequently had their own networks of clubs, libraries, publications and other support institutions. This book stamp belongs to one such Yidisher Arbeter Klub (Jewish Workers Club), a club associated with the thinker Ber Borokhov whose Labor Zionism fused elements of socialism and Zionism into a single platform. While the Jewish community of Dnipropetrovsk initially bloomed in the years immediately following the Russian Revolution – the forces of repression, collectivization, and famines in the early 1930s diminished the size of the Jewish community. The once thriving Jewish community of Dnipropetrovsk, and its surrounding agricultural regions, was destroyed in the invasion by Nazi forces. This stamp remains testament to the flourishing of Jewish political life that had once taken place in that city. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. There are two scrapbooks of archival markings from the books sorted at the Offenbach Depot in the Seymour Pomrenze Collection held by the American Jewish Historical Society (Call number P-933) There is a finding aid for the collection here The digitized scrapbooks are available here and here. For more information on this project check the Center’s blog: 16thstreet.tumblr.com/tagged/Offenbach-Depot Dr. Mitch Fraas, Acting Director of the Digital Humanities Forum at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries' Special Collections Center is working on a similar project for the German book stamps based on NARA microfilm of the volumes the American Jewish Historical Society currently holds.

Glass plate negative image of Australian landscape, possibly along the Hawkesbury River NSW, 1880-1909

When?

Description: The Hall collection provides an important pictorial record of recreational boating in Sydney Harbour, from the 1890s to the 1930s – from large racing and cruising yachts, to the many and varied skiffs jostling on the harbour, to the new phenomenon of motor boating in the early twentieth century. The collection also includes images of the many spectators and crowds who followed the sailing races. This image belongs to a series of photographs probably taken on the Hawkesbury River by William Frederick Hall between 1880 and 1909. The ANMM undertakes research and accepts public comments that enhance the information we hold about images in our collection. This record has been updated accordingly. Object no. 00002366

18-footer ARGO (ex HC PRESS III) in front of SCEGS boatshed

When?

Description: The original boatshed for Sydney Church of England Grammar School, or Shore School, was situated at Berry's Bay. The school acquired its own boatshed in Looking Glass Bay in 1919, presented to them by Mr Russell Sinclair, in memory of his son. This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s William Hall collection. The Hall collection combines photographs from both William J Hall and his father William Frederick Hall - the latter of which is likely to have taken this image. The images provide an important pictorial record of recreational boating in Sydney Harbour, from the 1890s to the 1930s – from large racing and cruising yachts, to the many and varied skiffs jostling on the harbour, to the new phenomenon of motor boating in the early twentieth century. The collection also includes studio portraits and images of the many spectators and crowds who followed the sailing races. The Australian National Maritime Museum undertakes research and accepts public comments that enhance the information we hold about images in our collection. If you can identify a person, vessel or landmark, write the details in the Comments box below. Thank you for helping caption this important historical image. Object number 00002114

Landsfengselet for kvinner (tidl.Tukthuset) i Kristiania, fasade mot Storgata

When?

Description: Beskrivelse: den eldste bygningens fasade mot Storgata. Fra 1882 ble Kristiania tukthus omdannet til landskvinnefengsel. I 1885 skiftet det navn til Straffeanstalten for kvinner i Kristiania og i 1900 til Landsfengselet og arbeidshuset for kvinner. Fengselet lå i Storgata 33 med hovedbygning fra 1740. Bygningene var ellers fra 1830 og framover. Flere av bygningene ble oppført etter tegninger av stadskonduktør Chr. Grosch. Tvangsarbeidshuset var på mange måter restene av det gamle tukthuset der man fra slutten av 1700-tallet hadde plassert løsgjengere, betlere, fant og fattigfolk. Ettersom tida gikk ble bygningene både gammeldagse og dårlig vedlikeholdt. I 1938 ble de solgt og revet. De kvinnelige straffangene og tvangsarbeiderne ble da flyttet til Bredtveit i Østre Aker. Fotografiene er fra Fengselsstyrets arkiv (S-1043). Fotografnavn er ukjent. Arkivreferanse: Riksarkivet, S-1043Ua6_033r

One man and an island

When?

Description: The landing pier on the Great Blasket Island off the coast of Kerry gives a very clear indication of just how rough and rugged the land and the water could be in that place. When this photo was taken the principal means of accessing the islands was a boat similar to the "Náomhóg" that one can see on the left propped up on timbers. Morning Mary went to the Great Blasket a few years ago and the landing stage has changed but is readily recognisable from the image.

High Noon on Wellington Street

When?

Description: A fine Imperial Plate of a pretty deserted Wellington Street in Ballymena, County Antrim seems to be rather a waste, unless you are an admirer of horse apples? The street is not entirely deserted. On the top left, a man is giving a demonstration of a stance very seldom seen nowadays. He has his hands across his back and inside his jacket, which I always believed came from the wearing of tails?

Resting after a job well done?

Mr. Sampson of Downpatrick, while building a drystone wall, pulled this rock out of the ground and filled a great big gap, saving him a whole lot of digging and lifting!! Well, he probably built the wall up on either side of the rock and used it in situ, but now he can rest after his labours!

Description: As you can see from the photo and the title we have visited this location many times before BUT if Research Mary has chosen this one then there must be a good reason? One might be that the image is on an Imperial Plate which means that one can almost read Daniel O'Connell's thoughts. The other may have eluded this observer but one thing we can be sure of is that the Chime in the Slime is not there yet:-D Photographer: Robert French Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection Date: Circa 1865 - 1914 1902 NLI Ref: L_IMP_4226 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie

Seculareligious

When?

Description: A visit to the lovely Clonbrock Collection and on the day that Storm Debi is battering the country, we have a lovely image of summer with an elegantly dressed lady complete with wide-brimmed hat and parasol sitting on a lawn! The heading refers to the melange of building styles on display, on the left very much a secular style, and on the right seemingly religious origins and appearance. Where were we, and who was the lady.

It's a long way from Mizen to Malin

When?

Description: If the information that I was taught in my schooldays is correct then it is approx. 300 miles from Mizen to Malin, or the length of the island of Ireland. The two signallers from the Commissioners of Irish Lights have a fairly primitive antenna on display here, and I wonder if it had the range to cover that distance? Photographer: Ball, Robert S.

Auditioning for the Ministry of Funny Walks

When?

Description: Clearly this was a carefully staged and posed photo of the British Army barracks in Tralee, County Kerry! The lines of soldiers in uniform had the easy parts as all they had to do was stand still, but those under the command of the Gym Sergeant had to do squats and hold them while Mr. French clicked his lens.

Tower towering over a tower towering over Ballyfin?

Telephone, Television but all preceded by Telegraph Towers

When?

Description: Mutton Island off Kilmurry in County Clare might not be the place that one would expect to have been one of the links in a communications chain that helped protect an Empire? If you wish to find it on the map don't fall for a straightforward "Kilmurry" because Clare has a collection of them. Mutton Island is off "Kilmurry Ibrackane" not too far away from a golf course owned by a rather (in)famous guy with weird hair!

A Rival for Trinity?

When?

Description: The Patrician College in Ballyfin may not have been a rival in the academic field for Trinity College Dublin but the quality of that portico, and the grandeur of the building could bear some comparison! A very fine looking edifice with lots of attachments and outbuildings, and that conservatory looks very grand indeed. Yet another postcard from the Library's Ephemera Collection to whet the appetite!

Heights are in feet above sea level

When?

Description: Ending the week with another drawing but in this case one to save lives rather than the dreadful murder of Mrs. O'Neill in Crook. Today we have a drawing of the proposed lighthouse for Inishtrahull off the coast of Donegal. It looks so simple in that form though the actual building must be strong and durable as well as serviceable! Photographer: Ball, Robert S.

Bumps for her birthday suit?

When?

Description: "BLANKETING MRS. O'NEILL" a strange image from the Mason Photographic Collection. A circle of Scottish soldiers in their traditional kilts, caubeens and tartan socks bouncing a naked lady on a blanket seems like great sport for the soldiers. The onlooking lady and gent likewise seem amused though the lady seems rather more preoccupied? Given Mason's history of illustrated talks and presentations there must be a story behind the image?

Ladies learning ladylike lessons

When?

Description: Something a little different for this morning with a Postcard from the Library's "Ephemera Collection"! Young ladies in the Teacher Training College in Carysfort Park learning needlework on the front and a lovely note from one young lady to another on the reverse!

Today, compliments of the Dublin Tram Collection we find ourselves in Sandymount Co. Dublin. With this lovely photo of Car, no 263 plying its trade on route 2.

Horse power from Campbell

When?

Description: We have visited many of Irelands Lighthouses over the years, but I do not think we have ever been to the one at Roche’s Point. Here we see the 17 horsepower Campbell oil engine and air compressor, it was installed at the Lighthouse in County Cork. I wonder what the machine was used for. Compressed air for a foghorn? I would also be nice to ascertain what type of oil the machine ran on. Photographer: Ball, Robert S.

Oh no! Not Sligo again...

When?

Description: We know that we have been to Sligo so many times recently but to be honest it is such a beautiful county that it deserves lots of visits. Today we are being taken by the wonderful Mr. O'Dea though his visits throughout the country were mainly to catalogue the closure of railway lines and stations. Was Ballysodare on the chopping block?

Ireland's forgotten hero?

When?

Description: The Redmond family have a long history in Wexford and their patriotism can hardly be doubted though to all intents and purposes their role is almost erased from history. After visiting Wexford during the past few years I must admit that I wasn't aware of the existence of this obelisk though I may have passed it many times.

Fabled in song and in story - Drumcliffe Churchyard

When?

Description: No doubt there's many a rustic man and woman in the Churchyard at Drumcliffe but most people will associate it with a Nobel Prize winning poet and his cryptic epitaph. That are in County Sligo is absolutely heavenly and anyone who has ever contemplated a final resting place would be tempted to join him there!

Nobody to kill time in Ballywillan

When?

Description: A visit to the wonderful Mr. O'Dea's collection today and a deserted railway station at Ballywillan, County Longford. The track nearest the stations premises is in good nick whereas on the other side the sleepers are up, the rails are aside and it looks like it is curtains at least for the second line. I wonder was Ballywillan on the Dublin to Sligo line and if so is it still on the go? Apology: I have egg on my face after yesterday completely misreading the title on the Hogan image from Cork:-( GOOD NEWS KLAXON: Keep an eye out for this programme featuring our very own Elinor Wiltshire and some of her photographs that we have featured here.

Bridging the divide

When?

Description: Normally Mr. O'Dea's domain but in this case it appears that Mr. French decided to get in on the act in advance.

Remembering Lady Alice

When?

Description: A magnificent memorial to a lady in Killarney Cemetery to end our week. The crucifix set in the archway is very impressive and the gravestone in the well tended plot would seem to suggest that the lady was much loved and deeply missed.

Why pay more?

When?

Description: Westmoreland Street in Dublin hasn't changed that much since Mr. French took this photograph but the transport, the fashion, and the lighting has changed dramatically!

What's going on here now?

When?

Description: A peeler without a cap badge, the Guild Hall with works going on outside and men standing about gossiping like auld wans - what's going on here now? Derry's Guild Hall, that iconic building that has featured so much in recent years as seen from the quays. That peeler has a fine, well groomed beard which probably tells us that he is a senior man who knows all there is to be known about what is actually going on?

Dev in shades

When?

Description: No soft Homburg, and definitely no top hat for Mr De Valera today. Instead he has donned a fetching pair of dark sunglasses. Now we don't know where or whose funeral this was, or if indeed, it was a funeral. Might it have been a commemorative event? Also, we'd love confirmation that Margaret Pearse and Tomás Derrig (Ó Deirg) are in this photo too? What band was this? Their insignia looks quite distinctive.

When?

Latin scholars to the fore

When?
