Description:
London, [1852].. [4]pp. Folio. One sheet folded, two leaves resultant. Three horizontal crease lines where folded in fours. Dampstain at fore- edge, heavier on second leaf. Printed down full face of first three pages, last page with auction details printed over one quarter, as folded. Overall, very good. The particulars of an auction where four adjacent Jamaican plantations are to be sold as one lot. The estates to be offered are Marlborough Mount and Morehead, Cedar Grove, Hanover, and Wilton Pen, the first three in the parish of Manchester, the last in St. Elizabeth. Though the abolition of the slave trade in 1838 hurt sugar plantations the most, it was extremely detrimental to the economics of the plantation as a whole, sparking a depression and civil unrest. The purchaser of these plantations would have difficult times ahead, with the British military moving in to suppress local self- government from 1865 to 1884.

Columbus: Long's College Book Co, 1951. xvii,601,[2]pp. plus frontispiece portrait and seventeen plates. Large octavo. Original pebbled maroon cloth, gilt spine title, front board with embossed portrait and title gilt. Moderate shelf wear, interior clean. Very good. This is the "special definitive edition" of the 1924 original, an expanded edition printed in a limited run of 1,000 copies signed by Alter.

He lived and worked all over the American West and the Rockies, and his biography describes a number of his interactions with early Mormons, his conflicts with the Native Americans, and various other expeditions and adventures. This volume also contains a reprinting of Union officer Grenville M. Dodge's short biography of Bridger. HOWES A191, "a." FLAKE 55 (ref)

New Have: Overland Press, 2008. 46pp. Quarto. Printed pictorial wrappers. New. J.O. Lewis produced the first major color plate book on American Indians, published in Philadelphia between 1835 and 1838. Lewis, a self-taught artist, based the hand colored lithographs in the book on original paintings done mostly around the Great Lakes in the 1820s. This work provides biographical details on Lewis, as well as examining in detail the somewhat mysterious history of his book, the ABORIGINAL PORTFOLIO. Extensively illustrated with images from the PORTFOLIO, the present work also provides an ideal plate order for the eighty unnumbered plates found in a complete set. An essential reference work in American color plate books, Western American art, and American Indian iconography.

JANESVILLE DAILY GAZETTE. FRIDAY, 10 A.M., JULY 4, 1862. EXTRA. LATE NEWS FROM THE ARMY BEFOEE...

Show Details

Description:
Janesville, [Wi.], July 4, 1862.. Broadside, 8½ x 6 inches. Light wear and foxing. Very good. An unrecorded Civil War broadside publicizing a dispatch from Union Gen. George B. McClellan following The Seven Days' Battles, which occurred between June 26 and July 2, 1862. In the course of that week Union and Confederate forces fought a series of battles in five different locales. At the end of these engagements the Confederates withdrew to Richmond. This EXTRA provides information about losses and casualties, and states: "Gen. McClellan and his big staff all agree that the position of our army is far more advantageous as a base of operations against Richmond than that hitherto occupied." Although most of the battles in the Seven Days can be considered Union victories, the overall outcome of the campaign was still not particularly successful for the Union, due to McClellan's weaknesses as a commander in the field. Afterwards, the Union's Peninsular Campaign was abandoned and the majority of McClellan's… Read More

Internally clean with only minor foxing. Very good. THE JAPAN ADVERTISER, founded in 1897, was one of the leading English-language newspapers in Japan in the early 20th century. The paper reported on local events as well as U.S. and British news, eventually merging with its major competitor, THE JAPAN TIMES, which continues as Japan's longest- running English language newspaper and as a publisher of Japanese-language textbooks used worldwide. This is the paper's first printed style guide, considered particularly important as "In addition to the usual responsibilities of the press, THE JAPAN ADVERTISER has a triple obligation: the fair interpretation of the East to the West and the West to the East, and the maintenance of a high standard of grammatical excellence for the benefit of those who use the paper as a text book for the study of… Read More

[Off the coast of Japan, ca. 1805].. Watercolor on paper, 6½ x 9¾ inches. Original manuscript caption attached to verso. Small chip in upper left corner, else near fine. Mounted at upper corners onto heavier paper stock. Archival matting, and protected with mylar sheet. A fine watercolor view of a Japanese merchant ship plying the waters off the coast of Japan. The work was done during the Krusenstern expedition, the first major Russian scientific voyage in the Pacific and the first circumnavigation of the world by a Russian ship. It was executed by the expedition's artist, Wilhelm Gottlieb Tilesius von Tilenau. The detailed work gives an excellent view of the technical aspects of Japanese vessels commonly used in the coastal trade, showing the ship's high bow, its rigging, the long rudder used to steer the vessel, and six crew members hard at work. The insignia of the ship is clearly shown on its stern. The crests or flags used by four other merchants are shown on the same paper along the right… Read More

Large wood block print, comprised of two sheets, showing the disposition of the Japanese soldiers and ships in preparation for the arrival of Commodore Perry's American fleet, seen sailing into Tokyo harbor at the right side of the image.

In July, 1863, the U.S.S. Wyoming, which had been sent to the Pacific during the Civil War to search for pirate vessels in the service of the Confederacy (among them the notorious raider, the Alabama), was attacked by Japanese forces in the strait, and retaliated. The United States and other nations called on the Japanese to provide an indemnity for the attacks, and the Japanese paid a… Read More
