Acquisition Information Bulk of the collection purchased, 1966; donation, 1970, from Mrs. Lawrence B. Romaine; other small purchases, 1970s-1980s. Biography Lawrence B. Romaine (1900-1967) was an antiquarian book dealer, who bought and sold rare books, manuscripts, trade catalogs, and other Americana. Romaine was recognized as the leading expert in the U.S. on trade catalogs, and was the author of A Guide to American Trade Catalogs, 1774-1900 (New York: R. R. Bowker Company, 1960), the standard reference work in this field. Romaine was born in Morristown, New Jersey, and graduated from Williams College in 1923. He had a brief career as a real estate agent and worked as an advertising agent for the New York World covering Wall Street. He later was an advertising agent for John B. Woodward, Inc. of New York. In 1933, Romaine and his wife Elizabeth moved to Middleboro, Massachusetts, where he established himself as an antique book dealer. His business, "Weathercock House," was located on Route 28 in North Middleboro. Romaine spent approximately 30 years collecting over 41,000 trade catalogs from the 19th and early 20th centuries, on every imaginable product from agricultural implements, clothes, medical and surgical instruments to weathervanes and windmills. The bulk of his collection focused on machines, tools, engines and other hardware used in agriculture and manufacturing industries. In addition to trade catalogs, Romaine acquired popular culture materials, including tracts, brochures, popular books on topics such as tobacco, alcohol, early plays, school texts, sermons, slavery, suffrage, politics, religion, education, and entertainment. He also collected almanacs, early American bibles, 18th century and early 19th century imprints, posters, books on printing, poetry, flowers and animals, New England, and first editions of F. Marion Crawford and Mark Twain. At the local level, Romaine actively organized and participated in local community events in Middleboro, from planning parades to writing editorials for the local newspaper. He also was recognized as the Middleboro local historian, and authored two books: The Weather Crows (1955) and Cambridge to Champlain 1776 (1957). Romaine's efforts as collector and historian have contributed significantly to the history of American technology. As he noted in A Guide to American Trade Catalogs, 1774-1900: "If a complete history of American manufacturers is ever to be compiled, American trade catalogs will unquestionably be one of the most valuable sources of material available." Scope and Content of Collection The Romaine Collection contains two major series: Subject Files and The Weathercock House Archive. Series I: Subject Files is the largest part of the collection, with more than 41,000 trade catalogs that Romaine collected and which are arranged along the lines of Romaine's Guide. These were cataloged as a separate collection, with access via subject or name of company. Subjects are arranged alphabetically; with box numbers beginning anew for each subject/category. Many subjects have been further divided into categories, frequently arranged alphabetically. Arrangement and box numbers have been retained as found since they are embedded in the existing box-level cataloging records. As a result, similar materials or materials from a given company sometimes are found in more than one box, and in other cases apparently dissimilar materials may be located within a given box. It should be noted that the catalogs are those that Romaine collected, not those listed in his Guide and which are housed in nearly 200 separate institutions across the United States. Materials in the collection include bound volumes, Brochures, single sheets, samples, and other ephemera.

    Consuming Fin De Siécle London: Female Consumers in Dorothy Richardson’S Pilgrimage

    Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 4.1．December 2010．57-80. Consuming Fin de Siécle London: Female Consumers in Dorothy Richardson’s Pilgrimage Han-sheng Wang ABSTRACT As an emerging site of female consumption, the West End of London in the fin de siècle period registers especially women‟s greater mobility in public consuming spaces. Along the central streets of the West End, with its mushrooming of shops, department stores, theaters, cafés, female clubs, and cinemas around the turn of the century, women increasingly manifest their visibility as purchasers, pleasure-seekers, and window-shoppers on the public street and the hetero-social urban space. Established during the same time, situated in the same neighborhood, and courting the same consuming public, these institutions address middle-class women as target customers and, through inviting them to purchase goods and services, contribute to the disruption of the long-held Victorian separate spheres and to the increased female public visibility at the turn of the century. This paper would thus examine female consumption as manifesting fin de siècle women‟s complicated involvement in the city‟s consuming spaces and commodity culture, which is represented by Dorothy Richardson in her fictional narratives about female consumers emerging in fin de siècle London, a phenomenon historically experienced by women of the 1880s and 1890s who increasingly found London‟s West End a site of consumption and female pleasure. KEY WORDS: Dorothy Richardson, Female Consumption, Fin de Siècle London,
