Collard Elizabeth.
THE POTTERS' VIEW OF CANADA: CANADIAN SCENES ON NINETEENTH-CENTURY EARTHENWARE.
Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press 1983. 194 pp large 8vo 9 3/4" H. B&w photographs reproductions marks. "This is the first book to be devoted exclusively to potters' views of Canada. The potters' views of Canada have a many-sided appeal linking the world of artists printmakers and photographers to the ceramics industry. Covering the period from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the end of Queen Victoria's reign this volume focuses chiefly on wares made for the dinner table or the washstand. All are earthenware decorated by transfer printing and produced by British potters. The scenes they depict range from the awesome falls at Niagara to early steamboats on the St Lawrence from igloos in the Arctic to a governor's residence in New Brunswick. Elizabeth Collard traces the evolution of these wares placing them in their historical setting and identifying the sources from which many of the views were derived. She also provides much detail on the English and Scottish potters and on the artists whose work they adapted to their own use." Very minor edge wear at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has very light edge wear/wrinkling - mainly at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds light rubbing to glossy surface. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.

Signature and Inscription / Calling Card / Unsigned Portrait
This Maryland attorney took on high profile cases such as that of Sanford in the Dred Scott case General Fitz-John Porter in his court martial trial after Second Manassas and Mary Surratt the alleged Lincoln assassination co-conspirator; as a statesman he served Maryland in the Senate 1849-50 1863-68 and acted as Zachary Taylor's Attorney General 1849-50 and as U.S. Minister to Great Britain 1868-69. Inscription and signature clipped from letter on a 4�" X 2�" slip n.p. n.y. pencilled note on verso states Baltimore 1865 June 24. Very good. Faint age toning; mounting traces on verso. A large and bold "with pleasure / yr obdt. servt / Reverdy Johnson" in brown ink in Johnson's usual hurried sloppy script. Another hand inks a miniscule "Senate Maryland 1865" above his signature. Accompanied by a fine example of Johnson's 3" X 1 3/4" buff heavy stock calling card with "Mr. Reverdy Johnson" in italic typeface at center and also a 5 3/8" X 8�" steel-engraved head-and-shoulders portrait of Johnson in later years undated but accomplished while Attorney General thus circa 1850. Very good. Lightly age toned with a bit of foxing. A fine trio. unknown
