‎Scenery of Great Britain and Ireland in Aquatint and Lithography 1770-1860 in 4 vols‎

‎San Francisco: Alex Wofsy Fine Arts 1991. Later edition. Reprint authorized by the trustees of J.R. Abbey and Dawsons. Four folio volumes measuring 310 x 232 mm. Faux leather with gilt to spines all in Fine jackets. Collating xx 399; xxi 428; xiii 299; xiv 301-675: complete including 633 illustrations. A pleasing set in all. <br /> <br /> Drawing from his own collection Major J. R. Abbey producied the following representation of landscape and architecture of the 18th and 19th centuries. "I have for over a quarter of a century been collecting books on the Scenery of Great Britain and Ireland illustrated with aquatints or lithographs published between the years 1775 and 1860. In this Bibliographical Catalogue the word 'Scenery' is not strictly confined to landscape but includes architecture and urban and social scenes. I have found it a fascinating subject and a field in which there seem to have been few serious collectors. Many of the illustrations are of real beauty and the fact that a large number are from books of the greatest rarity and therefore known to few in their original form gives added significance to those which are reproduced in this catalogue. It is perhaps true to say that the thirty-five plates are a microcosm of the English scene as well as showing something of the social life of the period. Alex Wofsy Fine Arts unknown‎

‎[Travel] Twain, Mark.‎

‎The Complete Travel Books of Mark Twain in two Volumes. Edited with an introduction by Charles Neider.‎

‎<p>Both volumes are Near Fine copies with a bookplate in each volume in Fine dust jackets. "The Complete Travel Books of Mark Twain" is a complete collection of Mark Twain's books on his travels – including 'The Innocents Abroad' 'Roughing It' 'A Tramp Abroad' 'Following the Equator' and "Following the Equator"- presented in two volumes. Based on a series of letters Mark Twain wrote from Europe for San Francisco and New York newspapers as a roving correspondent The Innocents Abroad published in 1869 is a caricature of the sentimental travel books popular in the mid-nineteenth century. Mark Twain's fresh and humorous perspective on hallowed European landmarks lacked reverence for the past and was as mocking about American manners as it was about European attitudes.</p> Doubleday, hardcover‎

‎[Travel]. [Missouri]‎

‎Letter Written by Jonathan Koiner to His Brother Absalom Regarding Travels in Iowa and Missouri in Search of Possible Emigration Destinations‎

‎Flat Woods Va: December 10 1855. Very good. 4pp. on a folded folio sheet. Old fold lines. Minor wear. A detailed record of one man's travels upriver and overland to Missouri in search of a place to resettle. Jonathan Koiner 1820-1889 of Flatwoods West Virginia went on a western tour in 1855 to scout potential emigration destinations. He traveled with his brother Absalom who quite abruptly stepped off the steamboat in northern Iowa leaving Jonathan to continue alone. Most of this letter describes Jonathan's travels in Missouri: from Hannibal by hack to Paris and then 25 miles on foot to Mexico. There he saw a prairie fire a bustling courthouse with judges and lawyers chomping on cigars and several relatives of his wife's. He took a carriage thirty miles to Columbia "the Athens of the state where the state university is situated & several fine female institutions." At Marshall his westernmost point he saw the 300-acre hemp farm of a man named Bruce who "has a good many slaves but he is one of the largest hemp growers in the U.S." He also witnessed "scores of wild cranes & wild geese one cloudy day in the corn fields above Marshall." He met the well-known pro-slavery jurist William Barclay Napton "the great antagonist of T.H. Benton"; former governor Meredith Miles Marmaduke; and numerous extended family members and friends who had already made the move west. On his way home he was inspired by St. Louis and Cincinnati with their "living moving masses of men & things!" He concludes with his decision to sell his Virginia land and move his young family west though census records suggest that he never did so. An informative missive of an exploratory emigration journey. December 10 unknown‎

‎[Travel]. [Automobiles]. Hubbard, John M.‎

‎U.S. Circumference Tour. July 10 -- August 20 1948. Traveled by John M. Hubbard and Brad Randall Jr. caption title‎

‎New York 1948. Very good. 23pp. of typescript on rectos only. Minor wear inner margins punched with two holes for storage in an album or folder. "The purpose of this Tour around the United States was to fulfill a suppressed desire to see our country while we were still young and free." So begins this original typescript of a 1948 trip around the country by two young Connecticut men John M. Hubbard and Brad Randall Jr. in a 1938 Plymouth sedan with 97130 miles "on the speedometer to start with." The text was written by Hubbard who often references Brad within the narrative. The trip took the two young men from New York City to Florida and then across the Southwest to California then eastward again over the course of just over a month in the Summer of 1948. The men mostly camped out in hammocks set up near their car. On their first day they attempted to make it to Cape Charles Maryland though they fell twenty miles short instead spending the night in a trailer park near "a squalid negro section with tumbled down houses." Their trip continues down the eastern seaboard partly by ferry to North Carolina. They spend a few days swimming fishing and staying with Brad's family in Fort Myers Florida before turning westward.<br /> <br /> Along their way westward through the "southland" of Tallahassee Mobile and New Orleans they encountered "a colored porter" at a motor lodge passed by "an occasional plantation framed in giant oaks covered with spanish moss" described the area between Mobile and New Orleans as "the Riviera of the U.S." and more. Next they visited various Texas locales on the Gulf Coast including Beaumont Houston and Galveston where they spent time golfing at River Oaks Country Club and took dates to Galveston's Turf Athletic Club "a very swanky gambling club that the Texas Rangers have been trying to raid for months." They then continued west through Texas visiting San Antonio Marfa and El Paso on their way to Tucson and Yuma Arizona.<br /> <br /> The two men reached El Centro California on July 31. They spent almost two weeks in California visiting San Diego Coronado Island Los Angeles San Francisco Berkley Sacramento and Lake Tahoe while passing through many other named cities along the way. Hubbard often provides wonderful descriptions of their various stops as well as interesting observations on locals landscapes wildlife their meals and experiences at country clubs their visits with friends and more. They also mention at least twice their attendance at the movies watching Key Largo in Houston Foreign Affairs in San Diego and an unspecified movie at Grauman's Chinese Theatre "where the movies first make their appearance.and where the stars put there sic initials and hand and foot prints on the sidewalk." While in California they also attended car races went fishing saw the world's biggest bowling alley and spent at least one day "job hunting."<br /> <br /> By mid-August Hubbard and Randall turn for home visiting a few towns in Nevada Carson City Virginia City and Reno and Utah Salt Lake City before visiting the Continental Divide at Berthoud Pass Colorado and proceeding thence to Denver. They then raced for home through Kansas Illinois Ohio West Virginia Pennsylvania and New York before Hubbard took a train to Hartford Connecticut. His mother planned to meet him there for the final leg to his home in Pomfret Connecticut.<br /> <br /> 1948 was a banner year for intrepid travelers heading out on the open highways of America -- the same year Jack Kerouac began work on his seminal Beat novel On the Road which was based on his own adventures on the American open road between 1947 and 1950. The present travel account has echoes of the freedom of Beat literature in its descriptions. Hubbard also mentions that they visited a "war buddy of Brad's" in Columbus Ohio; cross-country travel was a particular feature of the lives of war veterans in the late-1940s and 1950s as returning soldiers sought to see the country they fought so hard to defend in Europe and the South Pacific. The present travel narrative is a brief but albeit descriptive and interesting account of a cross-country jaunt by two well-to-do Connecticuters who saw a great deal of the United States in just over a month in 1948. unknown‎
