‎THE YOUNG RIFLEMAN'S COMRADE: A Narrative Of His Military Adventures, Captivity, And Shipwreck.‎

‎308 p. Light age stain. Deckle edges. 12mo. 210 mm. Original cloth spine over plain paper covered boards, worn. Original paper spine label. Loss at head of spine. Hardbound. Very Good. The Young Rifleman's Comrade may be a translation of the third volume of Maempel's 'Der junger Feldjager.' Edited by Goethe, an edition, says the translator, whose fame is even more extensively European than the adventures of the hero. The hero's adventures take him from Germany through France, Spain, Italy and England. The last part of the volume describes his shipwreck off the African coast near Mauritius, and his adventures before reaching safety. This English translation first appeared in London, 1826. It is attributed to John Kincaid (1787-1862). First American edition. SCARCE. S&S/AI 29614. PAIMP 23‎

‎JACQUES’ ADVENTURES AT SEA: A RARE PRINTED TEXTILE FROM 19TH-CENTURY FRANCE <br> Maritime Story of Jacques Va-de-Bon-Coeur.‎

‎<p>Textile 81.5 x 70.5 cm Fabric images printed from copperplate with maroon body color printed by woodblock. Occasional very minor toning otherwise very well preserved with printing clear and color still fresh.<br /></p><p>Highly attractive and unusual mid-19th-century printed textile illustrating an archetypal story of the ideal French mariner a fisherman's son named Jacques who left home as a boy to sail to the Antilles with the merchant marines met with many adventures on the high seas shipwreck pitched battle on deck encounters with natives and years later returned home to raise his children to follow his example of maritime heroism.</p><p>Such printed handkerchiefs a specialty of Rouen most notably associated with the shop of the engraver/printer Narcisse-Alexandre Buquet 1825-94 formed a category of popular imagery in which a textile was printed with an engraved plate and sometimes as here enriched with woodblock color. The ephemeral "<i>mouchoir illustré rouennais</i>" depicted a broad range of scenes taken from daily life contemporary domestic and foreign politics and even served as practical technical reminders for servicemen known as "<i>mouchoirs d'instruction militaire</i>". These highly perishable items are all today very rare with many examples known only from archival proofs printed on paper see Bassargette for an introduction to the <i>mouchoir illustré rouennais</i>.</p><p>The present handkerchief is particularly lively illustrating the life of the seaman Jacques in 9 rather romantic scenes each of which is provided with an extensive caption. The story seems to harken back to a nostalgia for French maritime exploits during the Napoleonic Wars and while some details seem drawn from history and popular periodical literature the tale was apparently invented specifically for this piece. The scenes read from left to right can be summarized as follows: 1 Jacques the eldest son of a fisherman's widow in order to support his family signs on with the merchant ship Sainte-Adelaïde sailing for the Antilles. 2 In the Gulf of Mexico the ship is caught in a storm and springs a leak. The crew promises to make a pilgrimage to Our Lady of Mercy if they are saved. Jacques plunges into the hold and plugs the leak. 3 In port the crew fulfill their pilgrimage vow. Sailors place an <i>ex voto</i> of a ship on the church altar. 4 Jacques signs on with the battleship <i>Hercules</i> where he is bullied by the "old sea wolf" named Lartigot but he eventually wins the admiration of the crew. 5 A heavily armed enemy vessel attacks the <i>Hercules</i>. Grappling irons are thrown the bugle blows the enemy vessel is boarded and Jacques hatchet in hand saves the surrounded Lartigot. 6 Now in the Pacific the <i>Hercules</i> anchors at the Navigator Islands Samoa. A party goes ashore in search of water and encounters natives eager to trade. The lieutenant is injured in a melee but Jacques saves him. 7. The <i>Hercules</i> sails for France and back home Jacques is decorated for his bravery is promoted marries Lartigot's beautiful daughter and settles down in St. Malo. 8 One day a ship founders off the coast of St. Malo. Jacques hears the alarm and rope tied around his waist he swims into the sea and saves eight sailors. 9 Jacques is given the nickname "<i>Va-de-bon-coeur</i>" in recognition of his eager courageousness is appointed head of the coast guard and is given a seaside house where he raises his children to follow in his footsteps.</p><p>E.

‎Partially-Printed Notice Completed in Manuscript With Two Photographs Detailing the Disappearance of a German-American Woman and Her Son Who Perished Aboard the Ocean Liner Elbe When It Sank in the North Sea‎

‎Washington DC: April 2 1895. Good. 4pp. on a single folded sheet with two small photographs tipped in. In German. Quarto. Old folds some separation along central horizontal fold small chip to first leaf minor soiling. One photograph chipped. A sad document detailing the plight of a mother and son who perished in the sinking of the German transatlantic ocean liner Elbe on January 30 1895. The document seeks to detail exactly the times of death of the mother and son in order to determine whether the heirs of the mother or son have title to the property belonging to the family. Translated into English a portion of the opening reads: "She left some property here in Germany. If her son survived her if by a minute he inherited that property and it now belongs to his heirs; but if death overtook him before his mother the property never belonged to him or now to his heirs but to other people. The matter is now before the court."<br /> <br /> The Elbe collided with a Scottish ship called the Crathie in the North Sea on January 30 1895 while on the way from Bremen to New York City; the Elbe was a very popular ship amongst immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe looking to make their way to the United States. The two victims detailed in the present document were a German-American immigrant mother and son who had previously settled in Indianapolis and then moved to Washington D.C. Sophie and Eugene Rhodes. At the time of their deaths Eugene was a student at Heidelberg University in Germany. The present document opens with a typed notice from the counsel to the family detailing their presence on the Elbe and asking for details of their deaths. This is followed by photographs of both Sophie and Eugene tipped to the second page then two pages of questions attempting to locate the missing travelers. Brief answers to the questions were supplied in ink by Ernst Linkmeyer assistant engineer on the Elbe and one of only twenty survivors of the wreck. The survivors of the wreck of the Elbe included just four passengers and sixteen crew members who crowded onto the only rescue boat that survived the collision. The death toll of the wreck of the Elbe totaled 334 including Sophie and Eugene Rhodes. April 2 unknown‎
