Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture on the Diseases of Cattle in the United States
Washington: Government Printing Office 1871. 4to. 290 x 230 mm. 11 1/2 x 9 inches. 4 205 pp. Illustrated with 7 chromolithographic plates 6 micro photographs and one lithograph. Bound in contemporary pebbled morocco spine and tips over marbled paper boards; edges rubbed but a sound and attractive copy. First illustrated edition; the text was published in an abbreviated form in 1869. This report was initiated by an outbreak of disease in a large number of Texas cattle that had been shipped north and landed in Cairo Illinois. The disease quickly spread and a government response was requested through the House of Representatives. A team lead by the English Professor of Veterinary Medicine James Gamgee and the botanists H. W. Ravenel of South Carolina traveled to Texas to find the origins of the diseased live stock. In an attempt to better illustrate their findings of the impact of the disease on the lungs spleens hearts and kidneys they employed the latest technology of chromolithographic printing and micro photography to produce highly legible detailed images of damaged organs. The color printed plates and photographs were produced in Baltimore by the Hoen & Co Chromolithographers and they demonstrate the use of color printing for medical research. 295.

Fruit Produce Butter and Eggs Shipper Journals
Chicago 1870s-1890s. Extensive information on growers and producers and the networks required to feed America at the time. The assumption of Chicago for the first journals is based on the bookseller labels in the journals and the accompanying letterhead. The Boston location was determined by reference to Boston based individuals in the journal and the address on the accompanying envelopes. All of these materials were found in one location without further information. A collection of five journals for Fruit Vegetable Butter and Egg Shipper Journals from the 1870s-1890s. The four larger format journals are most likely from Chicago detailing the various farms from which they received their product. Four of the journals list out each farm and their location and are believed to be from the 1870s-80s. They are accompanied by a letterhead for J. C. Wallace Commission Merchant Jobber and Shipper in Foreign and Domestic Fruits Nuts Produce etc. Chicago 1875. The titles of these four journals are: "Early Fruit and Vegetable Shippers No. 3 Bermuda Veg. Shippers" "Butter and Eggs" "Shippers of Early and Late Potatoes" and "Shippers of Blueberries Blackberries Raspberries Huckleberries Gooseberries Whortleberries Snowberries Dewberries Currants Cherries and Winter Green Berries and Elderberries". Each of these journals is approximately 120 pages long with an alphabet index tab on the side. The shippers are organized alphabetically by last name followed by their location. With the exception of the "Early Fruit and Vegetable" journal which also includes locations in Bermuda all the farming locations are from various towns all over the United States. Often within each letter there are subcategories mostly references to either 'early' or 'late' seasonal shipments. However the Berry Journal is also subdivided by individual berry type all of which were listed in the title of the journal and the Butter and Egg Journal which has the subcategories of Butter and Eggs Creamery Butter Roll Butter and Pickled Eggs. The locations are predominantly Midwest and southern states including Illinois Michigan Tennessee Louisiana Kentucky Florida Mississippi Arkansas etc. Butter and eggs journal also includes Missouri Wisconsin and Iowa. Black leather covers measure 13" x 8". The fifth fruit journal is a smaller ledger with a variety of information in it. It starts with a list approximately 37 pages long of shippers of fruits and vegetables. It is most likely from the Boston area from the late 1890s. This journal was accompanied by envelopes from the New England Fruit & Produce Co. The is an average of 8 shippers listed on each page which includes their names and locations as well as the exact items they are shipping. Such as peaches asparagus tomatoes grapes melons onions or pears. The next 24 pages of the ledger lists the sales from September 20 1897 to October 9th 1897. These daily sales lists are either detailed list of each product sold that day or a more simple list which simply totals the amount of cash sales for that day. Measures 11 3/4" x 5 1/4". <br/><br/> hardcover books

WOODBLOCK PRINTING
COLLECTION OF OFUDA CHARMS IN THREE ALBUMS
WOODBLOCK PRINTING A COLLECTION OF OFUDA CHARMS IN THREE ALBUMS. Slightly over 1200 ofuda ranging in size from that of a grain of rice there are 97 of these up to 21.5 x 31 cm. However the majority are approximately 15 x 5.5. cm or thereabouts with most having similar vertical proportions. All but three are laid down in the three albums. Two of the albums are matching double-sided accordion-fold albums with brown paper boards 23 x 16 cm each with a calligraphed title slip. 116 and 118 pages respectively including pastedowns. One of them opens with a large sheet of text 31.5 x 18 cm laid down. These albums are made from printed books that have been repurposed: the printed texts two long sheets each printed on one side only and bound parallel to each other back-to-back between the boards were detached and flipped over leaving the blank side of each exposed and then reattached to the boards. There is some ghosting of the printed text in areas that are not covered by ofuda and a few blank pages. The third album 100 pp. including pastedowns has worn cloth-covered boards 27 x 20.5 cm and an abraded title slip. It opens with two manuscript pages and there are a couple of notes within the album. Otherwise it is full of charms pasted down on every page. The album pages are foxed but not the charms. For further interesting information on ofuda charms and other popular printed genre I recommend Rebecca Salter's excellent book: https://www./Japanese-Popular-Prints-Votive-Playin g/dp/0824830830 A wonderful older collection of an ephermeral genre which is by no means easy to find either in collection or singly. unknown books
