$400.00Flint, A. A. (wife of Dr. Joseph M. Flint). SIX VOLUMES OF ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL MEMOIRS 1905, 1906, 1907, 1909 , 1911, 1925
sIX volumes of very neatly written ink handwriting of Mrs. A. A. Flint, wife of Dr. Joseph M. Flint. (Dr. Flint was a graduate of Princeton and Johns Hopkins Medical School who then moved to California to practice medicine. In California he began his personal campaign to improve hospitals by connecting a hospital with a local university. Later he became Professor of Surgery at Yale and lived in New Haven, Connecticut, for a while at least on Temple Street.) The six volumes are octavos, with 140p., 138p., 154p, 126p., 86p. and 146p. Two volumes are hardcover custom-made volumes with 3/4 maroon leather and gilt spine lettering reading "A. A. Flint Notes vol II" and "A.A. Flint Notes Vol. III." (we do not have volume 1.) The other four volumes are black cloth-covered somewhat stiff wraps with rouged page ends. The diary entries are the chatty highly descriptive narrative that one might expect from an intelligent, rich, well-travelled, energetic woman. Most all of the entries are on the delights and woes of travel - flat tires, missed connections, etc , but most expecially on concerts, theater (including the Wagner Festival in Beyreuth) , and art museums. About 20 percent of all pages have some paper ephemera neatly tipped in - a theatre programme, a picture postcard, a chromolithograph, a few original photographs. Mrs. Flint travels in these volumes in Germany, France, Italy, Siciliy, Belgium, Switzerland. Typical entry: (Aug 19, 1909) "This morning over our coffee cups, I began to remind Joe how three years ago we sent the maid out at three o'clock to secure us a cab and we left for the Prinzregenten Theater never later than 330. He airily waved his hand and said he would attend to all that and went out intimating we did nothing of the sort!" the gentle bantering and arguing continues until they do indeed arrive too late to be seated in the theatre. In at least one of the years covered in the 4 volumes, the Flints had come to Europe so Dr. Flint could attend a medical conference (1909). In 1909 and 1911 they were clearly enjoying the summer vacation months in Europe. All four volumes are in Good plus condition, binding secure and text clean. light cover wear. The volumes are not a complete run: 1st volume covers October 14, 1905 thru February 27, 1906; 2nd volume covers Feb 28, 1906-April 25, 1906; 3rd volume covers Dec 30 1906 to March 23, 1907; 4th vol July 2, 1909 thru September 30, 1909; 5th volume August 12, 1911 thru September 22, 1911; 6th vol Oct 3, 1925 to March 15, 1926. **LAID IN are two small (1x2 inch) original photographs presumably of Dr. Flint and a newspaper article with brief biography and a reprinted letter written by Dr. Flint. Set of 6 volumes. (Please note we offer an additional diary of A A Flint listed separately. See item a82520)) (a88029)
