Description:
Chicago: Chicago Corset Co., n.y. [ca. 1880s]. Single heavy stock card. 3" X 4 3/4". Very good. Mild bit of quite minor soiling. Color lithograph on recto depicts a Victorian parlor with a white-haired granny seated reading the "Morning News" featuring the headline cited above. One child clutching a book sits next to her, another stands behind her reading over her shoulder, and two white puppies are seated by her feet -- the picture of domestic bliss. The all-text verso proclaims "Guarantee," which states: "Any Lady purchasing one of BALL's Coiled Spring Elastic Section CORSETS can return it, after wearing it three weeks, to the dealer from whom it was bought, if not found Perfectly Satisfactory in Every Respect...." This colorful card has been handsomely free-floated against a blue matte and framed in a ½" ornate gilt frame (overall dimensions 5¼" X 7") with a copy of the all-text verso mounted on the back of the frame.

Description:
London: British Overseas Airways Corporation, n.y.. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Blue cloth with gilt lettering, dust jacket. (Ca. 100pp), 24pp. Extensive color maps. Near fine/very good. Mild jacket wear, mainly a slightly age-toned spine with chips at head and tail. Probable first and sole edition. Handsome and tight world atlas published by the British state-owned airline, which in 1974 became British Airways. Undated, but seemingly of 1950s vintage, this diminutive atlas demonstrates that as one leaf advertises "BOAC Flies to All Six Continents," and its many excellent maps all show flight routes. Scarce, especially in the dust jacket.

Charlotte, NC: Heritage Printers, Inc, 1969. Hardcover. Wide 12mo. Green cloth with gilt spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. 56pp, (4pp). Numerous illustrations, genealogical chart. Fine/near fine. Superb and tight first edition of this account of the Tar Heel background of the Illinois governor and two-time Democratic presidential candidate (1900-65) -- and a choice presentation copy, as the half-title page is handsomely inscribed and signed large and bold in black ink " For Adlai / from his / Aunt Buffie / Christmas 1969." Elizabeth "Buffie" Stevenson Ives (1898-1994) was the sole sibling of the governor, who named his eldest child after himself -- Ives's nephew was Adlai E. Stevenson III (1930-2021), who served as U.S. senator from Illinois (1970-81). A better association copy could hardly be imagined.

Description:
N.p.: N.p., n.y.. Paperback. Illustrations by Wilhelm Schäfer. Small 4to. Stiff pictorial wrappers. (14pp). Numerous color illustrations. Very good. Binding a bit edgeworn and faintly scuffed. Bibliographically-challenged German-language edition of this old children's rhyme, whose title translates "Bake, Bake a Cake: Old Rhymes with New Pictures." Likely published in Germany around the turn-of-the-century, to which a pencilled ownership signature dated 1903 on front flyleaf lends credence. Apparently published without title page, though the publisher identifies this title as "No. 839" on the front wrapper. It also follows the quirky binding pattern of the first three text pages running on the left-hand side, followed by a charming centerfold (pp. 7-8) and the final three text pages running on the right-hand side. Numerous small illustrations throughout are bright and quaint.
