‎[JACQUARD LOOM]‎

‎First in War First in Peace and First in the Hearts of his Countrymen‎

‎<p>FIRST "COMPUTER" PORTRAIT OF AMERICA'S FIRST PRESIDENT</p><p>Lyon Joseph Marie Jacquard 1856.</p><p>Silk machine-woven textile 49.8 x 42.2 cm. Mounted on old board. Edge wear some marginal tears and losses edge toning from mounting tape some damp staining and wrinkling. This said a remarkable survival.</p><p>Rare silk textile portrait of George Washington 1732-99 woven on the earliest programmable loom – the Jacquard Loom – which influenced the development of other programmable punch-card-driven machines that in turn would lead to the early versions of IBM's digital compiler. The present work thus may plausibly be considered the first 'computer' portrait of the first President of the United States. The textile carries the monogram 'JR' and is dated 1856 from Lyon the birthplace and home of Joseph Marie Jacquard 1752-1834 who invented his revolutionary device in 1804 to aid in the production of complex patterns of damask matelassé and brocade.</p><p>Based on Gilbert Stuart's 1755-1828 iconic portrait this two-color textile is inscribed with the famed line 'First in War First in Peace and First in the Hearts of his Countrymen' which is taken from Washington's eulogy delivered by Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee 1756-1818 a major general in the Continental Army a member of the Continental Congress governor of Virginia father of the famous Civil War general Robert E. Lee and a close friend of Washington.</p><p>Now rare the textile was apparently well known to American audiences for decades after its initial production: A certain R. H. Thurston for example in his 1880 inaugural address as president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers invoked history's greatest engineers including "Jacquard who perfected the pattern-loom which to-day weaves with equal facility the portrait of him who was 'first in war first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen' and the most beautiful and ingenious combinations of form and color of which decorative art is so wonderfully prolific" Thurston p. 9.</p><p>Provenance: Skinner Fine Books and Manuscripts 1 June 2013 lot 19.</p><p> J.

‎Archibald, Jo-ann; Friesen, Val; Smith, Jeff: Editors - Sterling, Shirley; Narration‎

‎Courageous Spirits : Aboriginal Heroes of Our Children‎

‎172 pages. "Aboriginal heroes are everywhere... Who is Yours?" With these words, the Aboriginal Heroes Contest on which this book is based was introduced to students and teachers across Canada. The heroes theme is an important one. The very concept of heroes invokes special images for nearly everyone - of someone who eximplifies courage, moral strength, or other sterling qualities which somehow allow them to exceed the normal bounds that seem to limit human endeavour. Aided by this book, teachers and parents can communicate to students that everyone has something of the heroic in her or him; that everyone can think deeply and feel deeply about issues of importance; and, as a curricular consideration, that everyone can learn to express those feelings in thoughts and written words. Moderate wear. Unmarked. Glossy colour illustrated covers. Two inch tear to top of front cover at spine. Children's hero stories are grouped by province/territory. Book‎

‎Bowering, George‎

‎Bowering's B. C. : A Swashbuckling History‎

‎416 pages including bibliography and index. Acknowledges that the province on the far left of the map has always been a pretty strange place, but it also tells a serious story of touchy race relations, heroic men and women, and the kind of romance that makes sensible people want to write books. It's a new kind of history - intensely personal, impeccably researched, intentionally provocative, unexpectedly spiritual, and laugh-out-loud funny - that encourages us to question received wisdom and ponder the elusiveness of history. Book clean and unmarked with moderate wear and slight lean to spine. Dust jacket with closed tear to top of back panel and moderate edgewear with one or two chips missing. Solid copy. Book‎
