Description:
1912. Hardcover. Very good condition. 34 gelatin silver venacular photographs, a wonderful visual record of American house construction at the turn of the century in New York state. This is the fine residence of Edward B. Kear at 360 Underhill Avenue, Yorktown Heights NY. Mr. Kear was one of the founders of the Yorktown Telephone Company, and also served as town clerk, county registrar of deeds, justice of the peace, justice of the court of sessions and town supervisor. Yorktown Telephone Company operated lines in Westchester County, and was incorporated in 1900 with capital stock of $2,500. Judging by the quality of the design and the materials used for Kear's finished home, he did very well financially. Kear's imposing residence has been restored; it is known as the Grace Building and is the office of Yorktown's current town supervisor. The album is complete with dated handwritten descriptions of the construction process, and shows the owner's pride in this fine home. Starting with ground…

London: F.G. Moon, 1849. Very good condition. Hand colored lithograph from the deluxe edition of Robert's 'The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia', the greatest lithographically illustrated work of the 19th century. This hand tinted lithograph was produced by Louis Haghe, the finest lithographic draughtsman of his time, and probably colored by him in a very small edition. David Roberts (1796 - 1864) was a Scottish painter who traveled to Egypt in 1838 on the recommendation of his friend and colleague, J. M. W. Turner. He went up the Nile River through Egypt and the Holy Land, and arrived in Jerusalem in 1839. Roberts left from Beirut in May of 1839, having traveled through Lebanon. Roberts recorded his impressions of landscapes, temples, and people in a series of sketchbooks and watercolors, and, working with Haghe as lithographer produced these lavish plates. The 'Holy Land', issued over a period of 7 years from 1842 to 1849, was funded through advance subscriptions, Queen Victoria being the first…
