Rare Book Set for Auction: The National Magazine (1852-1858)

Rare Book Set from the collection of George Bustin ‘70 The National Magazine: Devoted to Literature, Art, and Religion Vols. 1-5 and 7-13, covering the period from July 1852 (Vol 1) until December 1858 (Vol. 13) with only Vol. 6 missing.

Although this is called a "magazine" these are in fact bound books with rather fancy engravings and illustrations, typical of good quality publishing during the period. They are bound in a combination of cloth and leather. There is some "foxing" (light brown spots on some pages). One volume has some damage to the back binding.

Individual volumes (in lesser condition) typically sell for $30 or more at on-line rare book dealers. If you are looking to complete the set, some vendors sell print on demand versions for $30 to $100.

This exhibit covers the history of banknotes (paper money) from early Chinese banknotes, the earliest European paper money and focuses on the design elements of money. It merges the university's US and Confederate paper money collections and Princeton resident (and PA3 Vice-President) Sev Onyshkevych’s collection of 50,000 worldwide banknotes. A highlight includes the earliest known work by John James Audubon (an engraving for a New Jersey banknote), which is shown along with the Princeton first edition of Audubon’s folio as well as a steel printing plate of Audubon’s Birds of America. Banknotes designed or printed by Ben Franklin, Paul Revere, Alfonse Mucha, Eero Saarinen and numerous others are also part of this historic exposition.

Sept 12 - PA3 Post Pre-Rade Gathering at Triumph

After cheering on the Class of 2014, please join the PA3 for a social gathering at Triumph Brewing Company (138 Nassau Street) following the Princeton Pre-rade. Pre-rade starts at 4:00 on Sunday, September 12, so we'll be heading across the street around 5:00.

"What is the Princeton Pre-Rade?" you ask.. It's a new "tradition" for incoming freshmen at the beginning of Freshman Week. The freshmen, typically wearing t-shirts of their residential colleges, follow the university band through Fitz Randolph Gate, march across Nassau Lawn and continue onto an arch sing at Blair Arch. Local alumni and parents of the new Princetonians cheer them on. Alumni typically wear their reunion p-rade costumes, class jackets and other gaudy orange and black attire. It is not a replacement for p-rade, but an interesting ceremony welcoming the next class of undergraduates.

If you haven't been to a Princeton Pre-Rade, it's time to check it out (and continue the party at Triumph). If you see a lost looking parent, please invite him/her to join us, as well.
