‎Remarkable bespoke bound collection of Civil War extracts illustrations and ephemera‎

‎1880. Newspaper clippings maps and illustrations laid down on card stock and bordered in black ink others extracted complete plus some contemporary photographs engravings and other pictorial material. 31 vols. 4to & large 8vo. Half contemporary morocco and marbled boards spines & boards gilt t.e.g bookplate of C.B. Farwell to front pastedowns. Newspaper clippings maps and illustrations laid down on card stock and bordered in black ink others extracted complete plus some contemporary photographs engravings and other pictorial material. 31 vols. 4to & large 8vo. A remarkable collection of newspaper dispatches maps plans portraits and illustrated scenes of battles and views. The maps portraits and illustrations are drawn from a variety of published sources including The New York World but many are coloured or engraved and on heavier stock. This set provides an incredible overview of how the Civil War was not only reported but depicted in a multitude of media. <br/><br/>The bulk of the set consists of fourteen volumes of "Dispatches to the World Newspaper" spanning the period between January 1861 and June 1865. The New York World newspaper commenced publication in 1860 and was ongoing until 1931. It was a major organ for the Democratic Party and Joseph Pulitzer was its head from 1883-1911. In its first years however it was run by Manton Marble. In 1864 the paper was shut down for a short period having printed a document purportedly by Lincoln but obviously forged. <br/><br/>A third of the set is devoted to the Southern Rebellion. The ten volumes illustrating it are as follows: Plans maps and battlefields; Forts and batteries Military uniforms; Battle scenes and incidents; Emblems Arms and Endurance; portraits; war pictures many coloured patriotic covers by Charles Magnus a full page watercolour of greiving soldier2 vols; scenes and views 3 vols. The remainder of the set comprises: Portraits of Army Officers 3 vols; Portraits of US Representatives 2 vols; Portraits of US Senators; and Portraits of Distinguished Men.<br/><br/>The set was formerly owned and likely compiled for C.B. Farwell whose bookplate adorns the front pastedown of each volume. This would be Charles B. Farwell 1823-1903 the former US Senator and Member of the House of Representatives. Farwell was a Democrat and this is certainly the type of set that might be owned by a politician whose philanthropy extended into education. Furthermore the bookplate itself was printed in Chicago and Farwell was a representative for Illinois. He was a major benefactor of Lake Forest College. unknown books‎

‎SURRENDER OF GEN. LEE‎

‎Philadelphia: John Smith 1865. Lithograph 21 1/4 x 26 1/2 inches. Margins with surface rubbing and soiling. Four-inch closed tear in upper margin descending into the image two-and-one-half- inch closed tear in lower margin ascending into the image no paper loss in either case. Backed by later paper mending tears and a few small chips in edges of sheet. Very nice tone to the image. Good overall. Apparently a rare unrecorded proof of this lithograph commemorating the meeting between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9 1865 at which Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia and the Civil War essentially came to an end. This print is not only important as a proof giving evidence of how the image was reworked for final publication but also as part of a series of prints commemorating Lee's surrender that did so much to bolster the image of Grant as the "savior of the Union." "No single event of Ulysses S. Grant's life inspired more prints than the surrender he accepted at Appomattox." - Neely & Holzer. <br> <br> The present image bears the title SURRENDER OF GEN. LEE only with no publication copyright or artist information. In the image Grant and Lee meet in the open air before a large tree not indoors as was actually the case. Grant standing to the right holds the surrender terms in his right hand extended toward Lee. Lee one gloved hand on his hip and the other on the hilt of his sword stares steadily at Grant but makes no move toward the paper. Grant and Lee are each accompanied by a pair of aides who gaze at each other suspiciously. In the receding background thousands of troops are shown formed in long curving lines while a handful of officers ride horses. In the version of this print as finally published by John Smith of Philadelphia the positions of Grant Lee and their aides have been reversed and Lee extends his hand toward Grant ready to accept the terms of surrender. The configuration of the armies in the background has been modified and a prominent scar has been added to the trunk of the tree between the two leaders. In both this proof and the final version of the print Grant's uniform has been improved from what he actually wore - he still does not match the splendor of Lee but he is not shown wearing the uniform of a private with the straps of a Lieutenant General. "Here" as Neely & Holzer observe "the lithographer's notions of creating a picture for posterity do battle with widely reported truth." The title of the final version was modified to THE SURRENDER OF GENERAL LEE AND HIS ENTIRE ARMY TO LIEUT. GENERAL GRANT APRIL 9th 1865 Library of Congress control number 2015647830.

‎Fredericksburg 1862. 4pp. Folio. Old folds. Tanned light wear and soiling several very small holes. Good plus. An anti-secession newspaper published in Confederate Virginia by Unionist James W. Hunnicutt. Hunnicutt published his paper until August 1862 when he fled Fredericksburg because of his Union sympathies. How he got away with it as long as he did is remarkable when one reads the contents. This issue includes a report on Rebel cruelty news of the continued fighting in Charleston updates on the activities of the Army of the Potomac and an interesting column outlining twelve ways in which those advocating secession lie just like the devil: <br> <br> "We have always known and ever maintained that the only security the South and Southern institutions had was contained in the provisions of the Federal Constitution. We indignantly spurn the base imputation and pronounce it an unmitigated secession falsehood. The traitors and enemies of the South are the Secession leaders of the South. Where are the men who fired up the Southern heart and precipitated this once glorious independent prosperous and happy country into the present terrible revolution.Abolitionism and secession combined to effect the overthrow of our government - the downfall of our country - Great God!

June 27 1864. 1 p. 9 x 10¾ in.<p>A New York Tribune reporter praises the performance of the USCT: <i>"I find that in my account of the assault upon the rebel works in front of Petersburg I hardly did the colored troops justice. As before stated they held a position on the Jourdan Point road.They were first directed to assault the earthwork.the charge upon the advanced works was made in splendid style; and as the 'dusky warriors' stood shouting upon the parapet Gen. Smith decided that 'they would do' and sent word for them to storm the first redoubt. Steadily these troops moved on led by officers whose unostentatious bravery is worthy of emulation. With a shout and rousing cheers they dashed at the redoubt. Grape and canister were hurled at them by the infuriated rebels. They grinned and pushed on and with a yell that told the southern chivalry their doom rolled irresistibly over and into the work. The guns were speedily turned upon those of our 'misguided brethren' who forgot that 'discretion was the better part of valor.' </i></p><p><i>Another redoubt was carried in the same gallant style and the negroes have established a reputation that they will surely maintain."</i></p><p>With a discussion on using monies gathered from draft exemption payments to give bonuses when recruiting black troops in the South: <i>"as the government will continue to receive exemption money why should it not devote the sums which are likely to be thus gathered to bounties for soldiers white or black enlisting in the South. In that way the ranks could be kept full."</i></p><p>With reports on how the Southern planter aristocracy hates Lincoln and Johnson as running mate because both rose through the ranks of the <i>"common"</i> people.</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The Boston-based New England Loyal Publication Society and the Loyal Publication Society of New York was founded in 1863 to bolster public support by disseminating pro-Union news articles and editorials to newspapers around the country.

The language of these three oaths differs slightly but each requires the signer to "defend the Constitution of the United States" particularly in reference to the emancipation of slaves.<br /> Davis's oath taken in the District of Columbia is printed at page 105 of Stanley Turkel's book "Heroes of the American Reconstruction" 2005.
