Miniature Painter's Card. James W. Williams
Calling Card Jas. W. Williams 204 Chestnut Street
Philadelphia Pa. 1840. Calling Card printed one side only. 40 x 75 mm. 1 ½  x 3 inches. Painter's name scratched out and "Miss Louise Bradley West Springfield" is penciled in Engraved border pinholes.  James W. Williams was a miniature portrait painter. He also experimented with early photographic processes to produce his portraits. He was born in England about 1787 and set up shop in Philadelphia. The Smithsonian holds two of his works; a Talbotype paper print with applied color of Edward Robinson Squibb and an ivory type of two girls untitled. Ivory types were positive photographic prints resembling a hand-painted ivory miniature and were first produced in the mid-1850s. As the term suggests some of these images were made on thin sheets of actual ivory or artificial ivory made of pigmented and hardened gelatin. Louise Bradley 1818-aft 1880 of West Springfield Massachusetts acquired Williams's calling card and used it as her own in this instance since she crossed out his name and penciled in her own. She married a farmer Charles White and lived and died in West Springfield. Portrait miniatures began to flourish in 16th century Europe and the art was practiced during the 17th century and 18th century but the development of photography contributed to the decline in the popularity of miniatures. . unknown books

Handy edition of the redoubtable Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary with its marvellous definitions. Published in 1800 during the raging Napoleonic wars with France see also the somewhat later inscription to a French ship's captain below. Samuel Johnson 1709-1784 or more commonly "Dr. Johnson" or "the Great Cham" was a brilliant English writer devout Anglican and Tory who made his reputation as a poet essayist moralist literary critic biographer editor and most lastingly as a lexicographer. His Dictionary of the English Language is noteworthy for its extent comprehensiveness and use of pithy definitions. James Boswell of course memorialized the life and sayings of the great doctor.

The eighth edition of A Dictionary of the English Language appeared in 1799; the ninth edition in 1805. The upper cap of the spine is missing and the volume is rubbed with wear evident along the hinges and corners but the sewing is strong and the pages are clean with minimal toning.
