Beschreibung

You will be hard pressed to find another of these! Founded in 1851, the Boston Young Men's Christian Union was founded because Unitarians were excluded from the evangelical Boston YMCA. One of the panels on the exterior of the brochure has a handsome engraving depicting the Young Men's Christian Union Building , No. 48 Boylston Street in Boston. The building is still in use today (sans the tower). This is an original brochure from 1897. It provides a schedule for the evening classes available and lists the instructors for those classes. The classes were given in the Boston Young Men's Christian Union at 48 Boylston Street. The building shown on this pamphlet still stands and is now apparently used as an athletic club. The YMCU night classes included lessons in languages, taught as part of a Berlitz program; various types of drawing instruction; a class in legislative assembly; book-keeping; short-hand; penmanship; hygiene and more. Members could enroll in any class for $1.00 for the entire set of lessons! Both men and women were invited to join and enroll. ****************************************************** This is a small, folded pamphlet, printed on card-stock, the folds creating three panels; 3" X 5" folded & 5" x 9" opened. ***************************************************** CONDITION : - VERY GOOD - There one light crease and several spots of foxing on front and two large patches of toning on the illustration of the BYMCU building, and on the rear panel (as show in view provided). Otherwise, clean, unmarked and quite presentable. This is museum quality ephemera. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1155
