A dramatic scene after Arthur Tait full of movement: a pair of retrievers quest for their master's quarry one successful holds aloft a bird the second has spotted the second injured bird. In the background their master urges them on.<br/> <br/> Tait spent the first three decades of his life in England and arrived in New York in 1850. A follower of Edwin Landseer and the style of the Pre-Raphaelites he established himself as a realistic painter of animals and sporting scenes. He kept a summer studio at a camp in the Adirondack Mountains where he painted sporting scenes. He and Nathaniel Currier sometimes hunted together. 'These wilderness scenes often composed around an anecdote appealed to a wide popular audience and from 1852 Currier & Ives as well as Louis Prang published a number of lithographs and chromolithographs of his work.'

New York: Currier & Ives 1861. Hand-coloured lithograph by Charles Parsons signature in image. Expert marginal repairs. Sheet size: 22 1/2 x 32 inches. Image size: 17 1/2 x 27 1/4 inches. A magnificent Currier & Ives portrait of one of the premier yachts in the New York Yacht Club: the yacht that beat the "America" in her speed trials.<br/> <br/>The Stevens brothers listed in the title were members of a prominent American family their father had served in the American Revolution. John Cox Stevens was one of the founding members of the New York Yacht Club the first Commodore and one of five sponsors of the "America" the yacht that went to England in 1851 and won the race thereafter known as the America's Cup Race. His brother Robert L. Stevens designed the "Maria" which beat the "America" during the series of speed trial races to Sandy Hook prior to the latter's epoch-making trip to England. The "Maria" was one of the most beautiful yachts in an era of exceptionally beautiful boats: an icon amongst American yachts. It was estimated that the Stevens spent a total of $100000 on experiments and alterations involving Maria in the 22 years that she was in the family. A 1914 article in the New York Times described her as "a scientific racing machine the first of her kind" cf. NYT 17 May 1914.<br/> <br/>Conningham 6805; Gale 7360. Currier & Ives unknown books

CURRIER & IVES publishers After Francis F. PALMER
High Water in the Mississippi
New York: Currier & Ives 1868. Hand-coloured lithograph by James Merrit Ives after Fanny Palmer. A poignant image demonstrating the triumph of the human spirit and depicting the twin stack steam paddle wheel and riverboat "Stonewall Jackson."<br/> <br/>In the foreground uprooted trees bob in the current using a roof as a raft two men pole themselves and nine others to safety one of their companions holds tight to reins of a mule swimming beside the roof whilst two others rescue furniture and a barrel. In the mid-ground: a large white-painted house with second-floor balconies front and back and a smaller cook-house off to the right side. Two men in a row boat approach the back of the house a lady stands on the balcony speaking to the men; on the widow's walk on the roof a man and a woman stand: the man waves a handkerchief to the twin-stack riverboat. The riverboat "Stonewall Jackson" is travelling at speed: the near-side paddle creates a substantial wake the flags fly in the stiff breeze and the smoke from the stacks steams backwards: passengers line the rails attracted by the human drama they are passing. The overall impression is of a crisis that is being survived and dealt with by man's ingenuity whilst life continues.<br/> <br/>Conningham 2819; Gale 3057. Currier & Ives unknown books

Custer, Elizabeth Bacon.
FOLLOWING THE GUIDON

Spine lettered in gilt. Covers clean and corners sharp. Spine and cover gilt bright. The author of this book was the wife of General George Armstrong Custer. She spent most of their marriage in relatively close proximity to him despite his numerous military campaigns as a commanding officer in the United States Cavalry. After his death, she became an outspoken advocate for her husband's legacy through her popular books and lectures. Largely as a result of her endless campaigning on his behalf, Custer's iconic portrayal as the gallant fallen hero amid the glory of 'Custer's Last Stand' was a canon of American history for almost a century after his death.

Ung bon ouvrier nomme Marquet Caussin, Peinture et enluminure en Hainaut avant Simon Marmion. Ung bon ouvrier nomme Marquet Caussin
Hardback with dusjacket, IX 502 pages., 46 b/w ill. 400 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, Languages: French. ISBN 9782930054179. Contributions to the Study of the Flemish Primitives(CSFP 12) Until now, little was known about manuscript illumination in Hainault before the arrival of Simon Marmion at Valenciennes around 1458. This monograph intends to bridge that gap by highlighting the work of Marc Caussin, a Hainault miniaturist active in Valenciennes from the 1430s to the 1470s. An existing Cambrai missal paired with by a highly detailed contractual account has led to the attribution of fourteen manuscripts to Caussin. Alongside standard devotional books, Caussin illuminated more personalized commissions such as a copy of the Chroniques martiniennes for Philippe de Croy, count of Chimay. Caussin also worked for other renowned bibliophiles, the most illustrious being the Duke of Burgundy himself, Philip the Good. Caussin?s activity could be placed in context thanks to an abundance of archival sources. Some fifty documents give unique information concerning his family background and his professional network in Hainault and other cities in the southern Netherlands. Exploited for all the richness of their content, the manuscripts grouped around Marc Caussin have allowed us to reconstruct an artistic, social, religious and intellectual milieu about which very little was previously known.

DARLY, Mary & Matthew, publishers
24 Caricatures by Several Ladies Gentlemen Artists &c. & Caricatures Macaronies & Characters by Sundry Ladies Gentle.n Artists &c
London No. 39 Strand: M. Darly 1771. Ninety-Six Hand Colored Etched Plates Lampooning Contemporary Fashion and Manners<br /> Scarce Ladies and Macaronies depicted by Mary Darly the Mother of Pictorial Satire<br /> <br /> DARLY Mary and Matthew. 24 Caricatures by Several Ladies Gentlemen Artists &c. 1771. & Vol II of Caricatures Macaronies & Characters by Sundry Ladies Gentlemen Artists & c. 1772. & Vol III of Macaronies Characters Caricatures &c Design'd by the Greatest Personages Artists & c. 1772. & Vol IV of Macaronies Characters Caricatures & c. by M. Darly. 1773.<br /> <br /> First edition. Four octavo volumes bound in two 8 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches; 222 x 140 mm. Four hand-colored decorative titles one leaf of engraved text in volume 1 and ninety-six vividly hand-colored etched plates. All plates mounted on stubs and interleaved. Some very occasional and mainly marginal spots lower blank margin of plate 12 in volume I with light stain plates 2 & 3 in volume II and plate 8 in volume III with expertly repaired marginal tear. Still the finest and most complete example of this great rarity that we have ever seen.<br /> <br /> Early twentieth-century dark brown morocco by Rivière. Covers elaborately paneled in gilt with a gilt center lozenge spines with five raised bands elaborately decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt board edges and turn-ins all edges gilt marbled endpapers. With the armorial bookplate of The Duke of Gloucester on front paste-downs.<br /> <br /> First edition complete of this 18th century collection of caricatures satirizing the fashionable manners of contemporary London society particularly its dandies known as "macaronis." Created by the husband-and-wife team Matthew fl. 1741-1778 and Mary Darly fl. 1756-1779 these prints pioneered a new British genre of caricature. Each features a single figure set against a plain background with identity conveyed through dress pose and a few well-chosen props. The term macaroni prints aptly reflects their inspiration-caricature drawings by Pier Leone Ghezzi which Grand Tourists brought back from Rome. This substantial collection includes contributions from several notable London artists such as James Sayer Matthias Darly H. W. Bunbury Sir Edward Newenham Elizabeth Bridgetta Gulston J. Williams and Edward Topham.<br /> <br /> The "macaroni" was a prominent social archetype in 18th-century England representing a flamboyant effeminate and fashion-obsessed young man. Noted for their extravagant adoption of Italian and French styles macaronis were distinguished by their elaborate clothing meticulous grooming and ostentatious mannerisms - often seen as lacking in substance or seriousness. By the 1770s "macaroni" had become a popular slang term for a dandy or fashion victim.<br /> <br /> Matthew Darly was a respected designer and printseller known for his involvement in publishing Robert Manwaring's The Chair-Maker's Guide 1766 and Chippendale's The Gentleman's and Cabinet-Maker's Director 1754. He also collaborated with ornithologist George Edwards on A New Book of Chinese Designs 1754. In 1749 Matthew was questioned by the government regarding the sale of satirical prints mocking the Duke of Cumberland. He admitted to acquiring a hundred many of which had been sold by his wife in exchange for a book of ornament-likely his own recently published New Book of Ornament 1749 ODNB. By 1762 Mary Darly had taken on the role of publisher for satirical prints though the exact date of their marriage remains uncertain. It is possible she was the same wife referenced in 1749 as she earlier described herself as a "Fun Merchant at the Acorn in Ryder's Court Fleet Street." However there is reason to believe she may have been Matthews' second wife. By 1766 the couple had firmly established their business at 39 Strand.<br /> <br /> As political tensions escalated in the early 1770s caricaturists shifted their focus from attacking political and aristocratic figures to ridiculing the exaggerated fashions and mannerisms of the macaronis. This publication proved highly popular prompting a reprint in 1776. True to her bold style Mary Darly advertised it as "the most entertaining Work ever published in Europe."<br /> <br /> Despite their contemporary wide popularity and broad distribution and their importance in the history of British caricature the albums of Mary Darly are of phenomenal scarcity. Of the volumes under notice OCLC/KVK locate just three copies of the first volume 1771: Yale University Library University of Texas Harry Ransom & University of Virginia and three copies of the second volume 1772: Los Angeles County Museum of Art Harvard University and Princeton University.<br /> <br /> Provenance: Prince Henry Duke of Gloucester 1900-74 bookplates collector and member of the British royal family being the third son of King George V and Queen Mary.
