Richard S. Roberts photographed excellent pictures Home What Happened on Your Birthday? Search the Registry by Category ... Contact May 4 Richard S. Roberts The birth of Richard Samuel Roberts in 1880 is celebrated on this date. He was an African-American still photographer. From South Carolina, he was a self-taught photographer; Roberts operated his own studio in Fernandina, Florida, where he gained a reputation as a portrait maker. Success was achieved as a result of long hours of study that could only be done after he had finished his day's work as a stevedore and later as a fireman laborer. He read books and magazines on photography, becoming familiar with the nuances of lighting, angles, shadows and backgrounds. His dream was to become a master portrait-maker, with every picture a true reproduction of the subject. Roberts and his wife moved to Columbia, South Carolina in 1920. Working as a post office custodian, he soon rented a studio on Washington Street in 1922. For the next 14 years, the thousands of pictures that Roberts took comprise a stunning visual history of every aspect of the African-American community in South Carolina's capital city. He frequently took his camera into the heart of the segregated black District of Columbia an also to other towns and cities in the state. He did not, however, restrict his photography to African-Americans. He made portraits of all people, regardless of race or economic conditions. Roberts was an innovator and a perfectionist.

Roberts Public Affairs ABOARD USS SAMUEL B. ROBERTS, At Sea (NNS) USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG 58), working with Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment (LEDET) 403, recently detained eight suspected drug traffickers and recovered more than 7,000 lbs. of cocaine from an ablaze vessel while at the mid-point of a record-setting counter-drug deployment. Roberts was ordered to intercept and question a suspicious vessel that was being tracked by the ship's embarked helicopter, Magnum 450, from Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron, Light (HSL) 44 Det. 7. But initial attempts to establish communications received no response. Finally, the suspected vessel sent a message stating there was an emergency aboard and that the vessel was taking on water. Immediately, the LEDET headed to the vessel aboard Robert's Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB), while the bridge watchstanders monitored the vessel for signs of an emergency. Abruptly, and to the dismay of Robert's crew, the smell of fuel oil became evident, even from a distance of several hundred yards.

In the Path of Virtue: by Samuel K. Roberts Author: Samuel K. Roberts The African American Moral Tradifion "The cultivation of virtue has provided the basis for the development of a distinct social consciousness within the historical experience of African Americans. This consciousness has been forged in the crucible of the bitter experience of slavery and further deepened in the political and social constraints imposed upon black people even during the years of freedom." —from In the Path of Virtue The cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance) have long been a part of Western moral thought. In this engaging historical survey of the African American concept of virtue in the 18th and 19th centuries, Samuel Roberts explores how virtue became "a vision of a divinely ordered life that impelled its adherents to struggle against the injustice of slavery and to forge communities and structures that could ensure the development of the furthest mental and material capabilities of African Americans." SAMUEL K. ROBERTS is professor of Christian ethics and director of the doctor ministry program at the Virginia Union University School of Theology.

Pirate Links Bartholomew Roberts plunders the Samuel On May 29, 1720, Captain Samuel Cary of the merchant ship Samuel left the port of London bound for Boston with a cargo of ironware, forty-five barrels of gunpowder, and an assortment of English goods in bales and trunks. She had a crew of ten men to work the ship, and carried several passengers. All would have been fine had she not fallen under the guns of Black Bart the scourge of the seas. On July 13 the (Vessel's Name) Samuel was forty miles east of the banks of Newfoundland when two ships hove in sight. (Captain's Name) Captain Cary watched their approach with increased concern, and his worst fears were confirmed when the two ships fired their guns and hoisted pirate flags. The larger vessel was a three-masted ship of about 220 tons and was armed with twenty-six guns. From her main topmast head she flew a black flag on which a skull and cutlass were clearly visible. The flag of the dreaded pirate Bartholomew Roberts. The smaller vessel was an 80-ton sloop of ten guns flying a Union flag emblazoned with four blazing balls. Captain Cary reconed that there were about one hundred men on board each of the vessels, which meant that he and his crew were outnumbered by twenty to one. The Samuel had only six guns mounted on carriages, so she was completely out-gunned as well.

80. Etherington & Roberts. Dictionary--Mearne, Samuel The same set of tools can be traced from samuel Mearne to Elliott, by way of Charles Mearne, Robert Steele, and Jane Steele. http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/don/dt/dt2203.html

Bookbinding and the Conservation of Books A Dictionary of Descriptive Terminology Mearne, Samuel ( 1624-1683 ) An English publisher, bookseller, and bookbinder, about whom little definitive knowledge exists. While Mearne's name is associated with the splendid COTTAGE STYLE , some authorities have expressed doubts that he actually bound any books himself, but rather that the famous Mearne bindings were executed by the Dutch bookbinder Suckerman, and that Mearne was a publisher, not a bookbinder. It has been established, however, that Mearne's second apprenticeship was with Jeremy Arnold, a bookbinder and it is therefore argued that he must have learned the craft, the question being how many books he actually bound. It is probably unlikely that he would have taken the time to bind books following the Restoration, because he quickly became an important figure in the book trade. Mearne acquired the posts of Stationer and Bookseller to the King, and thereafter became Master of the Stationers' Company. It is probably reasonable to assume, however, that, considering his knowledge of bookbinding, he would have continued to take an interest in the work of his bindery. Regardless of its origin. the cottage style came to be regarded as distinctively English, and attained a popularity which endured with minor variations until the first quarter of the 19th century, thus lasting for a longer period than any other style of book decoration.
