Download or read book Nathaniel Crosby III Collection written by Nathaniel Crosby (III) and published by . This book was released on 1857 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nathaniel Crosby III collection is comprised of a journal covering Crosby's voyage from Hong Kong to San Francisco in the summer of 1857 on the Chilean vessel, Mercedes. The collection also contains documents and newspaper articles regarding the Crosby family housed in Folder 1. In December of 1856, Nathaniel Crosby III's father died in Hong Kong, and so he and his mother sailed there the following year. His journal in Folder 2 chronicles their voyage home from Hong Kong to San Francisco, and includes an inventory of items--including articles of clothing--and their monetary value. According to the daily entries, the Mercedes left Hong Kong on 7 July 1857 and arrived in San Francisco on 27 August. The entries are all handwritten in brown ink, and range from a single sentence to half a page long. The entries include meteorological information, and cover the daily activities of the ship's crew. Following the last entry, on the next page is a smaller sheet of white paper titled, "American Clipper Ship 'John Wade'". The handwritten document notes a trial of a "first officer Carpenter," and a "second officer Steward" who were accused of murdering a crew member of their ship, the John Wade, "...in Hong Kong harbor - commenced July 6th..." The writer goes on to explain that there was sufficient evidence, and Carpenter and Steward will most likely be executed and will be transported, but it is not specified where they will be transported. The captain of the John Wade is described as "an accessory after the fact--not having been present at the time of the murder--will probably receive some lighter punishment, and may possibly escape entirely." It is unknown why this handwritten sheet of paper has been pasted inside the journal. Following this document there is a set of blank pages, and then what appears to be a personal balance sheet of a "L.R. Crosby" for the month of March 1910. The handwriting is different from the journal entries, and is written in a different color of ink. Folder 1 contains 5 documents. The first document is a speech made by Charles A. Burr to commemorate the Daughters of the Pioneers of Washington's acquisition of the Tumwater Crosby House (now called the Crosby House Museum) in 1947. Burr refers to Nathaniel Crosby III as "Uncle Nat," and mentions that several members of the Crosby family are present. The second document is a photocopy of a 1962 News Tribune article that explains that a Washington State Historical Society staff member showed a copy of the journal to Bing Crosby. The next two documents are newspaper articles about the Crosby House, and the fifth document is an old WSHS "biographical sketch" of Nathaniel Crosby III.

Download or read book Njideka Akunyili Crosby written by and published by Victoria Miro. This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Begun in 2014, Njideka Akunyili Crosby's ongoing series, The Beautyful Ones is comprised of portraits of Nigerian children, including members of the artist's family, derived from personal photographs and, more recently, from images taken during her frequent visits to Nigeria, where Akunyili Crosby lived until the age of sixteen.Its title is taken from the 1968 novel by the Ghanaian writer Ayi Kwei Armah, The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born, a book whose influence endured during the artist's adolescence in the 1990s and is still felt today. In it, the author laments the lost idealism of a generation in the 1960s for a better Africa, post-independence.In, The Beautyful Ones the artist reinstates this optimism in her own and subsequent generations while offering a powerful perspective on the complexities of a contemporary diasporic experience.Crosby is one of the most distinctive voices of her generation, and this book, only the second publication on the Los-Angeles based artist. It features extensive illustrations of works in the series and an essay by Siddhartha Mitter, who, reflecting on the work's complex history, weaves together the social, cultural, personal and political strands of its making.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Njideka Akunyili Crosby: The Beautyful Ones at Victoria Miro, Venice (8 May - 13 July 2019).

Download or read book Black Sun written by Geoffrey Wolff and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-04-18 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes an afterword by the author. Harry Crosby was the godson of J. P. Morgan and a friend of Ernest Hemingway. Living in Paris in the twenties and directing the Black Sun Press, which published James Joyce among others, Crosby was at the center of the wild life of the lost generation. Drugs, drink, sex, gambling, the deliberate derangement of the senses in the pursuit of transcendent revelation: these were Crosby’s pastimes until 1929, when he shot his girlfriend, the recent bride of another man, and then himself. Black Sun is novelist and master biographer Geoffrey Wolff’s subtle and striking picture of a man who killed himself to make his life a work of art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first monograph on the internationally celebrated Nigerian American painter who blends her personal history and African diasporic identity in layered compositions “Critics have often (and rightly) marveled at the care and finesse with which Akunyili Crosby assembles vast multiplicities of time and place into singular sites of visual contestation.” —Frieze Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s work unites multiple places and temporalities, reflecting both personal and universal dimensions of contemporary life and, in particular, the intricacies of the African diasporic identity. This first monograph on Akunyili Crosby brings together nearly fifty paintings, made from 2010 to 2023, that chart her methodical practice of layering painted representations of people, locales, and aspects of her own experiences with transferred images sourced from her personal collection, Nigerian publications, and other outlets. Akunyili Crosby reveals and revisits distinct realms, from lush gardens to domestic, interior worlds related to motherhood, family, marriage, the body, and personal identity. New texts from Jareh Das, Helen Molesworth, Jason Rosenfeld, and Drew Thompson focus on a range of themes in Akunyili Crosby’s work, including her visual language and material practice, her mixing of Western and Nigerian imagery and forms, and her use of photography in portraiture and figuration.

Download or read book Good Intentions Gone Awry written by Jan Hare and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emma Crosby's letters to family and friends in Ontario shed light on a critical era and bear witness to the contribution of missionary wives. They mirror the hardships and isolation she faced as well as her assumptions about the supremacy of Euro-Canadian society and of Christianity. They speak to her "good intentions" and to the factors that caused them to "go awry." The authors critically represent Emma's sincere convictions towards mission work and the running of the Crosby Girls' Home (later to become a residential school), while at the same time exposing them as a product of the times in which she lived. They also examine the roles of Native and mixed-race intermediaries who made possible the feats attributed to Thomas Crosby as a heroic male missionary persevering on his own against tremendous odds.
