Louise Clarkson Whitelock b. 1865 a noted artist who published works on home decoration and art instructionpenned the poems included here and illustrated them with etchings and lithographs.The other poems on lilies and flowers beautifully illuminated with heavy inking and rather oily colours were a deliberate effort to imitate oil paintings by the artist and printer. A. Hoen -- considered one of the finest lithographic printing firms in America -- printed the first colour cards ever produced in the United States and the first lithographic maps printed in the country as well in 1842 for the Fremont Reports. August Hoen patented in the 1860s what he termed the Lithocaustic method of lithography which allowed for easier viewing of the etching in the stone while in process making the shading of gradients and halftones a much more exact and faster process. He received critical acclaim at the 1876 Exposition for this process. See: BAL 11428 Indian Summer; Bill Edwards A. Hoen & Co. J.L. Sibole Publisher, A.

[CIRCUS -- SUFFRAGE/WOMEN]. [TIEMANN, Hermann Newell (Photographer)].
Excellent silver gelatin photograph of Madison Square Garden in New York City featuring the Barnum & Bailey Circus which presented their elaborate Cleopatra-themed show during their run in 1912. This was also the site of the circus suffrage event organized by the women performers of the Barnum & Bailey circus led by Jodie De Mott and Zella Florence.
New York: H.N. Tiemann Co. 4 East 30th St. March 1912. One silver gelatin photo. 7.5 x 8.5 in. w/ embossed photographer’s stamp at lower left corner pencil annotations on verso of photo 1 corner w/ very slight loss still VG image with bright strong contrast. This image depicts the famed Renaissance Revival structure based on the Moorish Giralda Tower in Spain at Fifth & Madison Ave. in March 1912. Designed by Stanford White for McKim Mead & White this historic venue included the largest amphitheater in America equipped with a tank for aquatic shows a rooftop theatre cabaret restaurant and concert hall. The Cleopatra spectacle featured 1500 performers including the African-American minstrel troop organized by James Wolfscale featuring his three sons and the rest of the musicians mounted on camels playing their instruments. The show which ran from March 23 - April 22 1912 is perhaps best remembered for the widely reported suffrage rally held by 75 women circus performers of the world’s first “Circus Suffrage Society†and notably snubbed by the socialite Suffrage Movement leaders including Harriet Stanton Blatch. Led by Josie De Mott a bareback trick rider acrobat Zella Florence and included women animal trainers wire walkers hand balancers dancers acrobats and the renowned female Hercules -- Katie Sandwina. This Madison Square Garden was demolished in 1924 after the New York Life Insurance Co. which held the mortgage built their landmark Cass Gilbert-designed New York Life Building and another Madison Square Garden venue was opened on 8th Ave. between 49th and 50th.

[Civil War – Women – Illinois] Dutton, Rosina
A Pair of Letters Written by the Wife of a 105th Illinois Officer at the Close of the Civil War Centered on a Suspicious Figure Carrying a Valuable Object and the Fear of Deception and of Losing Her Husband: “He has told half a doz different stories already about his capture … Such conflicting ones create suspicion.â€
Sycamore DeKalb County Illinois 1865. Two autograph letters signed “Rosa†docketed on rear likely in Everell Dutton’s hand 4 and 5 pages 8 x 5 inches. Folded at center else fine. Two letters written in the final weeks of the Civil War by Rosina Adelpha Paine Dutton of Sycamore Illinois to her husband Everell Fletcher Dutton then lieutenant colonel of the 105th Illinois Infantry engaged in the closing campaigns of the war. The couple had met through their mutual friend Helen Barns Woodmanse and began an unusually close correspondence at the outset of the war at times exchanging two or three letters a day through 1863. They married in Sycamore on December 31 1863 and spent several months together in Nashville while Dutton was detailed to the Examination Board residing at Mrs. Jernigan’s boarding house before Rosina returned to Illinois and Dutton rejoined his regiment in the field. Rosa wrote a considerable amount of letters to her husband during the war some of which were collected by the Sycamore History Museum for the exhibition General Dutton’s America. <br /> <br /> The two letters here written a week apart show Rosina’s fears and the general mood in the days prior to Lincoln’s assassination with a focus on a mysterious favor done for an unsavory character. The April 2 letter reflects Rosina’s anxiety as she awaits news from the regiment:<br /> <br /> “Five hours later. I got to feeling so badly I could not write. I will now resume my chat. I know dear one you are tired of receiving dark gloomy letters from me but you must not hope for better while you remain in the army. Love you know is always strongly anxious when the loved one is absent. I would give everything we possess in the world if it would but bring you safely home. I am in hopes we will hear something definite from the Regt. tomorrow. I am so anxious and yet I tremble to hear from the Regt… O my Husband if you should be taken from me.†<br /> <br /> She searches the newspapers repeatedly—“no list of casualties in the Tribune … sent Ida after the Times … sent Winnie & Mary … for the Evening Journalâ€â€”but finds “no relief of mind.†The strain is constant: “whenever I spoke … the tears would come†and even at church “I could not keep the tears from my eyes.†She notes that the 105th “could not have been through so severe a contest without losing very many men.â€<br /> <br /> The April 12 letter is dominated by Rosina’s pointed suspicion toward a man she calls “Gerret†who appears to have entrusted Dutton with a valuable object: <br /> <br /> “Gerret said you had in your valise for him said it was worth $500.00. If I were in your place I would get rid of it if I had to burn it. I wouldn’t carry anything five miles for that miserable scamp. No one scarcely believes his story about being captured &c. They think he made his way home as best he could & I would not be at all surprised if that were the case. He has told half a doz different stories already about his capture. He ought to have learned his story before he came home and then told it. Such conflicting ones create suspicion. Father said if he were in your place he would turn it over to Government & then bid it in.â€<br /> <br /> No individual of this name appears in the rosters or known correspondence of the 105th Illinois and the tone of the letter suggests he was not a member of Dutton’s regiment. <br /> <br /> She closes: “My darling husband do come and thereby make me the happiest woman in the world . try dear one. I don’t believe but that they will accept resignation now before long. May the good Father of us all take care of you is my constant prayer. Devotedly yours for all eternity. Rose.†<br /> <br /> Overall an interesting pair of letters from a well documented and significant correspondence. unknown

[Civil War] [Women] [Cushman, Pauline] Sutterley & Co
Carte-de-Visite of Pauline Cushman
Virginia City: Sutterley and Co 1867. Albumen photograph on mount 4 x 2 ½ inches. Pauline Cushman was an actress and one of the most successful spies for the Union Army. She ingratiated herself with the Confederate army by toasting Jefferson Davis after one of her performances. She was eventually caught and sentenced to death by hanging. She was spared only due to the arrival of the Union Army. <br /> <br /> After the war she toured the country giving lectures and performances recounting her experiences as a spy. She eventually headed west marrying in 1872 in San Francisco and eventually working a range of jobs in Arizona Territory Texas and eventually back in San Francisco where she died in 1893 at age 60 from a morphine overdose. <br /> <br /> We find no record of this portrait which was taken by the Sutterley brothers James and Clement in their Virginia City Nevada studio somewhere between 1864 and 1867. The Sutterleys operated out of their studio on the Union block of Virginia City for five years before dissolving their partnership in 1867. It is likely that the portrait was taken during one of Cushman’s tours throughout the region during these years. <br /> <br /> A beautifully preserved example in very good condition with a small chip to upper margin and some fading. Though Cushman ostensibly would have sold cartes-de-visite in support of her touring few survive on the market today. Sutterley and Co unknown

It is not possible, neither would it be desirable, accurately to represent the consequences which ensued ; the atmosphere of the rooms, the ferocious manners and expressions of the women toward each other, and the abandoned conduct of all around, were wholly indescribable. The Governor himself felt it necessary to request Mrs. Fry to leave her watch before she entered amongst these wretched beings, observing, that even his presence would not prevent its being violently torn from her.

First edition thus of this exceptional portfolio reproducing the exquisite and fanciful botanical settings landscapes and allegorical Chinese figures from this extraordinary artist. His chinoiserie engravings exaggerated the wispy and delicate qualities of the style portraying the world as a fairyland fileed with colour and fantasy. His 18th-Century Rococo designs were wildly popular by decorative arts manufacturers and applied to silk textiles porcelain pottery wallpapers and even silver. Pillement 1719-1808 had developed by 1764 a new method of printing on silk with fast colours and that also encouraged the durability and legacy of his designs. The majority of these were engraved by the noted woman artist & engraver Anne Allen a British artist who not only was the second wife to Pillement but created etchings based on his paintings by using the “a la poupee†or multi-colour Intaglio copperplate engraving style of printmaking which breathed life into the intricate scenes. This portfolio reproduces many of her portfolios as well as those executed by Gauthier Dagoty Canot Avril and Robert Cooper. Ernst Henri, hardcover

They left the sternwheeler and packing three children their belongings and camera equipment they secured a camping spot. However their daughter Norma climbed on an old stump to get a better view and “put her foot in a yellow-jacket nest and the way she climbed down from there and screamed was enough to bring everyone from the other camps . . . we fought yellow-jackets and ran a half mile to keep up with Norma.†The family does manage to find an abandoned house to camp in manage their breakfast and then hike and travel along the rim into Oneonta Gorge and decided later to return back home “on account of Elvah’s back.â€Reck records one of his many photo shoot excursions when on April 3 1910 he takes off with fellow enthusiast and machinist Ed Leppert to take photos at Cazadero OR at the time a stop on the Estacada Interurban Railway Line of the PRL&P Co. catching Train No 62 shot logging pictures below Boring OR and then fishing near the Clackamas River at Eagle Creek OR.

First edition of this very uncommon Progressive Era police department history issued to raise funds for the nascent pension fund for Dayton Ohio police officers in the first decade of the 20th Century. The Dayton Police Department was at the cutting edge during the Progressive Era not only hiring and incorporating African-Americans and Women into their police force but also one of the earliest in the U.S. to adopt the Bertillon System for criminal identification pre-dating fingerprint identifications by 15 years and in 1879 was one of the earliest to require photographs taken of all arrested “noted criminals and suspicious characters.†This work contains an excellent photograph of William Jenkins b. 1865 the first African-American hired by the Dayton OH police in 1898 and would continue serving with the city until 1917 when he was forced to retire after suffering serious injuries arresting four of six members of the notorious local “Alabama Gang†in November 1916. Renowned for running down suspects his left hand right hip and eye nerves were injured in the fight and after retirement became a security guard for National Cash Register. The second African-American was Ptl. Lucius Rice b. 1876 who had recently been appointed patrolman in 1909 after serving with Company C of the Ohio National Guard winning in 1908 the government medal for marksmanship rose to Sergeant in 1916 the first African-American to hold a supervisory rank and continued his career until killed in the line of duty after a 1939 shoot-out with a suspect. Of additional interest are the second and third Dayton OH police department employees Ida Van Skaik d. 1922 who served as jail matron onsite and traded off 12 hour shifts with the other Kate Allen who served until 1927 and was the first policewoman to receive a pension from Dayton OH.
