The Burial of Marie-Adrienne Chameroy.
Paris: N/P 1802. An attractive hand coloured lithograph undated but 1802. Two panels on one sheet laid onto a brown card backing sheet. The hand colouring is of a high quality and the sheet is in good clean condition. Although the artist is unknown "Les Musées de la Ville de Paris" state that this is from an album called simply "Caricature" and that it was sheet XIX The two panels show the burial of the actress and dancer Marie-Adrienne Chameroy. She had died of consumption in 1802 six months after the resumption of worship being permitted at the age of 23. When her large entourage and coffin arrived at St Roch church the doors were barred shown here with a man and dog barring the way in the first panel. The nature of the crowd attending is displayed in the buxom nature of the women in the funeral train. Allegedly the refusal to bury her was based on the morality of her life and a long standing tradition of barring actresses from church. The act caused much upset even to the level of Napoleon himself. The procession then made its way to the church of the "Filles Saint Thomas" where mass was duly said. The panels are 22cm x 17cm. and the sheet is 31cm x 215cm. First edition. Paris Musées inventory G.27615. British Museum 18560712.663 second panel only. . Une jolie lithographie coloriée à la main non datée mais datant de 1802. Deux panneaux sur une feuille posés sur une feuille de support en carton brun. Le coloriage à la main est d'une grande qualité et la feuille est en bon état. Bien que l'artiste soit inconnu "Les Musées de la Ville de Paris" indiquent que cette feuille provient d'un album intitulé simplement "Caricature" et qu'il s'agit de la feuille XIX. Les deux panneaux montrent l'enterrement de l'actrice et danseuse Marie-Adrienne Chameroy. Elle était morte de consomption en 1802 six mois après la reprise du culte à l'âge de 23 ans. Lorsque son entourage et son cercueil sont arrivés à l'église Saint-Roch les portes ont été barrées comme le montre le premier panneau avec un homme et un chien qui barrent le passage. La nature de la foule présente est illustrée par les femmes plantureuses du train funéraire. Le refus de l'enterrer aurait été motivé par la moralité de sa vie et par une longue tradition qui voulait que les actrices ne soient pas admises à l'église. Cet acte a suscité beaucoup d'émoi jusqu'à Napoléon lui-même. Le cortège s'est ensuite rendu à l'église des "Filles Saint Thomas" où une messe a été dite en bonne et due forme. Les panneaux mesurent 22 cm x 17 cm et la feuille 31 cm x 215 cm. Première édition. Paris Musées inventaire G.27615. British Museum 18560712.663 deuxième panneau seulement. N/P unknown

The History of Simple Simon.
New York: John McLoughlin 1860. First edition. An attractive children's chapbook with hand coloured wood engravings. Pink soft covers with old tape reinforcement to the spine. Otherwise reasonably clean if a little darkened. Inside are eight pages each with a half page hand coloured illustration and half page of verse. Clean but a little darkened. Adverts for the publisher to the rear cover. Would be an excellent copy if not for the tape. 15cm x 11cm. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 33100846 with the curious exception that all the records record it as "the story" rather than "history." John McLoughlin was a Scottish-born coach maker who became a prominent figure in the New York publishing industry during the 19th century. He began in 1819 after moving to New York and initially worked for the Sterling Iron Company where he developed an interest in printing. By 1828 he had established his own printing business on Tryon Row in Manhattan focusing on publishing semi-religious tracts for children under the title McLoughlin's Books for Children. In 1840 McLoughlin partnered with wood engraver Robert H. Elton to form Elton & Co. which specialised in toy books comic almanacs and valentines. His son John McLoughlin Jr. eventually took over in 1850 when both senior partners retired. The firm of McLoughlin Brothers is listed at 24 Beekman St. in the New York directories for 1858 to 1862 McLoughlin Bros. was located at 30 Beekman St. New York between 1863 and April 1870. Under John Jr.'s leadership the company became known as McLoughlin Brothers and pioneered the use of colour printing technologies including chromolithography for children's books. This innovation made their publications visually striking and widely popular. The McLoughlin Brothers expanded their offerings to include games puzzles paper dolls and other children's products. By 1870 they had opened the largest colour printing factory in the United States. Their works often featured adaptations of British stories by illustrators such as Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway. The company thrived until it was sold to Milton Bradley in 1920. Despite this transition the McLoughlin imprint continued to produce children's books into the early 20th century. John McLoughlin paperback

The Hobby Horse 1819.
The Leadenhall Press 1894. . Hand coloured engraving showing a rural scene near London with fashionably dressed gentlemen riding the newly invented 'hobby horse'.<br /> The forerunner of the bicycle the 'hobby' or 'dandy horse' was invented by the German Baron Karl von Drais in France in 1817. It was introduced to England the following year by Denis Johnson a coachmaker of Long Acre London who described it as a 'Pedestrian Curricle'. Hobby horses had no pedals or brakes but were propelled by the rider pushing on the ground with his feet and dragging the feet to slow the machine. Johnson started a school where prospective purchasers could learn how to ride the machine and in 1819 fashionable London society was briefly gripped by a craze for riding a hobby horse. <br /> The Leadenhall Press, [1894]. unknown

Recent paper wrappers. In 1853 Mr Chambers was given leave by parliament to introduce a bill to the Commons. The premise of the bill 'A bill to facilitate personal liberty in certain cases' gave wide access to a panel of commissioners to enter Roman Catholic convents with the aim of securing the freedom of those held there against their will. Catholics viewed this as a scurrilous anti-Catholic attack and denied that any nuns were prisoners. They viewed the legislation as a reaction to the recent restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales. The list of signatories to the rear begins with the Lords whose names are led by Charles H Clifford & Francis Stonor. unknown

The Trial of Colonel Despard and his Associates for High Treason and a Conspiracy &c. &c. Before Lord Chief Justice Ellenborough and the other Commissioners at the New Sessions-House in the County of Surry Great Britain 1803. Published from the London Morning Chronicle
<p>New York: Printed by George F. Hopkins at Washington’s Head No. 118 Pearl Street 1803. Octavo signed in fours. 1–3 4–56 2pp. Heavily foxed removed from a nonce volume; a good sound copy.</p> <p>First American edition and reasonably scarce to commerce. Born into a military family in Queen’s County Ireland Edward Marcus Despard 1751–1803 joined the British Army as an ensign in 1766 and quickly rose through the ranks distinguishing himself as a military engineer and gaining recognition for his efforts during the capture of Fort San Juan from Spain in 1779. ODNB</p> <p>Despard’s career took a controversial turn when he became involved in revolutionary activities upon his return to Britain. He became affiliated with radical groups such as the London Corresponding Society and the United Irishmen ultimately leading to his arrest in November 1802 for allegedly plotting a coup against the government. At his trial in February 1803 Despard was found guilty of treason despite efforts to paint him as a victim of government conspiracy. He was executed on 21 February 1803 leaving behind a legacy marked by both his military service and his radical political ambitions. ibid</p> <p>Shaw & Shoemaker; 4076.</p> unknown

The Wife and The Mistress or The Italian Spy. A Domestic Tale from the Milanese: Containing Matrimonial Infelicity Intriguing Countess Fascinating Marchioness and Her Green and Silver Ridicule with Many Other Particulars of A Noble and Well Known Family in the Last Century
London: J. Bailey 116 Chancery Lane 1820. First Edition. Slim Twelvemo. 18cm. Late 19th century half mottled calf over marbled paper covered boards by Bayntun of Bath with a red title label to the spine titled in gilt very much in the style of an older binding. 24pp. with 24pp binder's blanks to rear to stabilize the binding. Light scuffing to corners and spine ends darkening to spine label and a little dulling of the gilt strong tight and handsome; internally clean all edges gilt marbled endpapers later ex libris to front pastedown with traces showing removal of an older one visible beneath hand colored frontispiece illustration with later tissue guard and a small archival tissue repair to a small tear on the fore-edge offsetting of the color and some light soiling to title page the work would originally have been issued as a chapbook in paper wraps. A very good attractive copy of an obscure piece of early 19th century pop culture.<br /> John Bailey was one of those highly-energetic and slightly scurrilous printer-publishers of the early 1800's running alongside Stockdale Dugdale Duncombe and the like in a frenetic race to recognise the current zeitgeist and mine it for pamphlets chapbooks and on occasional multi-volume exposés until the vein ran out and they moved on to the next thing. It could be the sporting Fancy the murky doings of the Ton memoirs of ladies of negotiable virtue the scandalous habits of the French or the diabolical behavior of home grown rakes; if it could be illustrated with a lurid cut and sold to popular acclaim but no legal outcry then it was prime for publication. <br /> This is an indicative offering; a tale of a lady maligned a wandering-handed husband and some untrustworthy foreign types Italians in this case portrayed as being of a nation of bandits promoting the popular and rather thrilling idea that nobody really knows what the aristocracy gets up to but slim little volumes like this can give you a fair idea. Unusually studded with relatively competent verse commentary and enough arch detail for the suggestive reader to wonder whether it is entirely fictional. <br /> It isn't in case you were wondering; it forms part of the Caroline Scandal blizzard of pamphlets and cartoons directed at the indiscretions and marital strife of Caroline of Brunswick the oft estranged wife of King George IV. George despised his wife even after the birth of their daughter and Queen Caroline retired to Italy where her chief advisor and confidante was a gentleman named Bartolomeo Pergami - in short order Caroline and Pergami were rumored to be lovers accusations of adultery and possible treason flew in all directions and a legal deadlock began with both parties George and Caroline whose middle name was of course Amelia denying infidelity whilst pointing the finger at each other. The "Green Ridicule" is a reference to the bags presented at the reading of the bill intended to grant the King a divorce; large green sacks of "evidence" collected by the Milanese authorities much of which was rather hilarious and involved a lot of innkeepers and coachmen testifying to having seen Pergami in flagrante whilst within 20 feet of the noble lady. The resulting legal wrangling and backstabbing had the opposite effect from the one desired by George and rendered Caroline something of a public and political heroine misused by her abusive husband and adopted by reformist political figures seeking to gain ground on an increasingly eccentric and damaging monarchy. <br /> The tone of the tale is therefore rather sympathetic to Lady Amelia in keeping with public sentiment. It is also stated to hopefully be the first part of a series of exposures of the travails of "Lady Amelia" and her somewhat ungallant spouse which suggests it was rushed out mid-trial and may have had subsequent installments as the proceedings continued through 1820. The title itself is possibly a riff on Mary Charlton's work; she published a substantial and popular work with a similar title a few years earlier. Scarce and a little obscure with three holdings in US institutions. J. Bailey, 116 Chancery Lane unknown

Two albumen photographs of Paris
Paris: N.D. Photo / X. Photo. C1875. Two attractive albumen photographs of Paris pasted onto two sides of the same piece of stiff card. Both are 21cm x 28cm. One is a view of the Champ Elysées taken from on top of the Arc de Triomphe. A good clean and bright image showing quite a crowd of carriages on the road with pedestrians on the wide pavements to the side. The view fades into the distance. Clean and good photograph. The second side shows the front of the National Opera with carriages omnibuses and pedestrians milling around. What is particularly interesting in this shot is that the lamp posts are being installed in Front of the Opera. These enable us to date the photograph as they were originally installed in 1875. These form part of the "Ring of Light" Ceinture de Lumière a set of 60 lighting fixtures designed by architect Charles Garnier as integral to the opera house's exterior when it opened on January 5 1875. A nice photograph if slightly faded. The backing card is 25.5cm x 30.5cm and has a couple of closed tears to the edges. not affecting the prints. The sheet has obviously been removed from an album at some point. . Deux superbes photographies sur papier albuminé représentant Paris collées sur les deux faces d'un même carton rigide. Elles mesurent toutes deux 21 cm x 28 cm. L'une représente une vue des Champs-Élysées prise depuis le sommet de l'Arc de Triomphe. Une image nette et lumineuse montrant une foule de voitures sur la route avec des piétons sur les larges trottoirs latéraux. La vue s'estompe au loin. Une photographie nette et de bonne qualité. Le deuxième côté montre la façade de l'Opéra national avec des voitures des omnibus et des piétons qui s'affairent. Ce qui est particulièrement intéressant dans cette photo c'est que des lampadaires sont en cours d'installation devant l'Opéra. Cela nous permet de dater la photographie car ils ont été installés à l'origine en 1875. Ils font partie de la « Ceinture de Lumière » un ensemble de 60 luminaires conçus par l'architecte Charles Garnier comme partie intégrante de l'extérieur de l'opéra lors de son ouverture le 5 janvier 1875. Une belle photographie bien qu'un peu décolorée. La carte de support mesure 255 cm x 305 cm et présente quelques déchirures fermées sur les bords qui n'affectent pas les tirages.

Union Soldier in the Andersonville Prison. caption title of illustrated broadside
<p>N.p. n.d. ca. 1880s–1890s. 10¼ x 7¼ inches. Printed via a photomechanical process. A very good example.</p> <p>This broadside poem voices the imagined last words of a dying Union soldier held at Camp Sumter more widely known as Andersonville. The text is set in display type with decorative borders and features a central image of a flag-bearing Zouave soldier rendered in a style simulating a wood engraving.</p> <p>The anonymous verse describes thirst starvation and emotional torment portraying the prison as a “cruel rebel den.†It emphasizes separation from home appeals for letters and rescue and ends with a vision of death as release. The soldier dreams of water“green fields in which to roam†and peace beyond the “Dead Lineâ€â€”a reference to the real boundary in Andersonville beyond which prisoners were shot. </p> <p>Poems like this circulated widely in the decades following the war reinforcing narratives of Confederate cruelty and the martyrdom of Union soldiers. Likely produced in the 1880s or 1890s using a photo-mechanical process this piece reflects the ongoing work of remembrance in the North through inexpensive printed ephemera.</p> <p>Curiously the broadside is printed on a single sheet of paper with a soft matte vermilion-pink wash applied only to the verso. Unrecorded in OCLC.</p> unknown

The work appears to be a piece being prepared for a publication. There are pencil grid lines to the the edge. The "splatter effect" on the wall also continues beyond the pencil margin of the page although doesn't affect the sign so applied where the artist wanted. Although virtually finished on close inspection the fox figure may not have been completed or may be intended to be a black and white figure. A little edgewear to the top right corner. A surreal scene. 50cm x 35cm. . Première édition / œuvre d'art originale. Anonyme et non signée. Illustration originale à l'aquarelle d'un renard s'observant ou observant ses voisins à travers un système complexe de tuyaux. L'œuvre semble avoir été préparée pour une publication. Il y a des lignes de quadrillage au crayon sur le bord. L'effet d'éclaboussure sur le mur se prolonge également au-delà de la marge de crayon de la page bien qu'il n'affecte pas le signe il a donc été appliqué là où l'artiste le souhaitait. Bien qu'elle soit virtuellement terminée en y regardant de plus près la figure du renard n'a peut-être pas été achevée ou est peut-être destinée à être une figure en noir et blanc.
