Free download...Lamp Volume Number 26

(It is deceptive, because the last actual page number printed before this section in "The Lamp" says 415, then a picture of a woman in Victorian dress, then the article with Pamela Colman Smith starts--the frame viewer says page 417.)


Page 417 in the viewer starts the article of Pamela Colman Smith; 418 a picture of Pixie Smith with a Japanese style setting and her sitting on the floor and signature and little cartoon--rather pretty picture of her that I do not remember seeing elsewhere.

The March 1902 edition of the Broad Sheet is on page 419 in black and white.

I happened across a Scribner & Sons bound magazine of 1899 and found everything from Stieglitz to John LaFarge--everything "New York", and tried to google other issues.

Below is the link

I was able to download it to my laptop as a pdf and from there, you can scroll through, take a clip or picture, etc.

Thank you very much indeed! This is REALLY GREAT!!!

Be certain and copy the document and address to your system when you can...

...I noticed if I try to copy the entire text of a post with the link address embedded, sometimes the embedded link code/address gets truncated or somehow doesn't work. Hopefully this will work for you guys so you can get a copy of the actual photo and article...

I do not remember seeing this particular photo of her previously. I love the whimsical signature and charm of this gentle soul pictured here.

Best wishes,

Cerulean

PCS mention in Women Designers of Bookplates 1902

I found other announcements in Scribners or New York Times about 1902-3 for PCS's illustrated works in Xmas holiday book advertisements...if there's better pictures or info of PCS in the news, will try to post here.

I have the book The Women-Designers of Book-Plates and already scanned and recorded PCS bookplate in my site.

Thank you Cerulean for your splendid findings! There seem to be many more places to search and examine!

Great finds! Thanks so much for sharing them. Did you notice that "The Lamp" misspelled her name?

Page 372 has a sample of the Green Sheaf

The sample from the Green Sheaf is a black and white sample of the Hill of Heart's Desire, with PCS' drawing of hillsides, a man leaning on his walking stick and a few sketchy silhouettes of perhaps a castle or cottage roofs among the rumply curves of treetops, bushes, fields...the text is "The Hill of Heart's Desire." Translated by Lady Gregory, from the Irish of Raferty, a Peasant Poet of Seventy Years Ago..

A huffy Stiglitz causes 20 members to resign: PCS showed sketches "Photo Era" Magazi

http://books.google.com/books?id=VB...resnum=10&ved=0CDIQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q&f=false

P.212 has has the lovely gossipy tidbit of a huffy Alfred Stiglitz declining to resgin causing 20 members of the Camera Club to leave the Photo Secessionists..p. 213 announces Miss Pamela Colman Smith had exhibited her sketches at the "Little Gallery of Photo-Secessionists" in February-March"...

Hmm...

Oh, I remember. There was some references to this, when I posted this link before:

This library has a selection of PCS letters. I wonder if anyone ever checked out these files?
