1860rif. 5152New York: John McLoughlin 1860. First edition. An attractive children's chapbook with hand coloured wood engravings. Pink soft covers with old tape reinforcement to the spine. Otherwise reasonably clean if a little darkened. Inside are eight pages each with a half page hand coloured illustration and half page of verse. Clean but a little darkened. Adverts for the publisher to the rear cover. Would be an excellent copy if not for the tape. 15cm x 11cm. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 33100846 with the curious exception that all the records record it as "the story" rather than "history." John McLoughlin was a Scottish-born coach maker who became a prominent figure in the New York publishing industry during the 19th century. He began in 1819 after moving to New York and initially worked for the Sterling Iron Company where he developed an interest in printing. By 1828 he had established his own printing business on Tryon Row in Manhattan focusing on publishing semi-religious tracts for children under the title McLoughlin's Books for Children. In 1840 McLoughlin partnered with wood engraver Robert H. Elton to form Elton & Co. which specialised in toy books comic almanacs and valentines. His son John McLoughlin Jr. eventually took over in 1850 when both senior partners retired. The firm of McLoughlin Brothers is listed at 24 Beekman St. in the New York directories for 1858 to 1862 McLoughlin Bros. was located at 30 Beekman St. New York between 1863 and April 1870. Under John Jr.'s leadership the company became known as McLoughlin Brothers and pioneered the use of colour printing technologies including chromolithography for children's books. This innovation made their publications visually striking and widely popular. The McLoughlin Brothers expanded their offerings to include games puzzles paper dolls and other children's products. By 1870 they had opened the largest colour printing factory in the United States. Their works often featured adaptations of British stories by illustrators such as Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway. The company thrived until it was sold to Milton Bradley in 1920. Despite this transition the McLoughlin imprint continued to produce children's books into the early 20th century. John McLoughlin paperback

1875rif. 5523Paris: N.D. Photo / X. Photo. C1875. Two attractive albumen photographs of Paris pasted onto two sides of the same piece of stiff card. Both are 21cm x 28cm. One is a view of the Champ Elysées taken from on top of the Arc de Triomphe. A good clean and bright image showing quite a crowd of carriages on the road with pedestrians on the wide pavements to the side. The view fades into the distance. Clean and good photograph. The second side shows the front of the National Opera with carriages omnibuses and pedestrians milling around. What is particularly interesting in this shot is that the lamp posts are being installed in Front of the Opera. These enable us to date the photograph as they were originally installed in 1875. These form part of the "Ring of Light" Ceinture de Lumière a set of 60 lighting fixtures designed by architect Charles Garnier as integral to the opera house's exterior when it opened on January 5 1875. A nice photograph if slightly faded. The backing card is 25.5cm x 30.5cm and has a couple of closed tears to the edges. not affecting the prints. The sheet has obviously been removed from an album at some point. . Deux superbes photographies sur papier albuminé représentant Paris collées sur les deux faces d'un même carton rigide. Elles mesurent toutes deux 21 cm x 28 cm. L'une représente une vue des Champs-Élysées prise depuis le sommet de l'Arc de Triomphe. Une image nette et lumineuse montrant une foule de voitures sur la route avec des piétons sur les larges trottoirs latéraux. La vue s'estompe au loin. Une photographie nette et de bonne qualité. Le deuxième côté montre la façade de l'Opéra national avec des voitures des omnibus et des piétons qui s'affairent. Ce qui est particulièrement intéressant dans cette photo c'est que des lampadaires sont en cours d'installation devant l'Opéra. Cela nous permet de dater la photographie car ils ont été installés à l'origine en 1875. Ils font partie de la « Ceinture de Lumière » un ensemble de 60 luminaires conçus par l'architecte Charles Garnier comme partie intégrante de l'extérieur de l'opéra lors de son ouverture le 5 janvier 1875. Une belle photographie bien qu'un peu décolorée. La carte de support mesure 255 cm x 305 cm et présente quelques déchirures fermées sur les bords qui n'affectent pas les tirages. La feuille a manifestement été retirée d'un album à un moment donné. N.D. Photo / X. Photo. unknown
1980rif. 5249France: S.P. C1980. First edition / original artwork. Anonymous and unsigned. An original water colour illustration of a fox watching himself or his neighbours through a complex system of pipes. The work appears to be a piece being prepared for a publication. There are pencil grid lines to the the edge. The "splatter effect" on the wall also continues beyond the pencil margin of the page although doesn't affect the sign so applied where the artist wanted. Although virtually finished on close inspection the fox figure may not have been completed or may be intended to be a black and white figure. A little edgewear to the top right corner. A surreal scene. 50cm x 35cm. . Première édition / œuvre d'art originale. Anonyme et non signée. Illustration originale à l'aquarelle d'un renard s'observant ou observant ses voisins à travers un système complexe de tuyaux. L'œuvre semble avoir été préparée pour une publication. Il y a des lignes de quadrillage au crayon sur le bord. L'effet d'éclaboussure sur le mur se prolonge également au-delà de la marge de crayon de la page bien qu'il n'affecte pas le signe il a donc été appliqué là où l'artiste le souhaitait. Bien qu'elle soit virtuellement terminée en y regardant de plus près la figure du renard n'a peut-être pas été achevée ou est peut-être destinée à être une figure en noir et blanc. Le coin supérieur droit est légèrement usé. Une scène surréaliste. 50cm x 35cm. S.P. unknown
1750rif. 5729S.P.: S.P. 1750. Circa 1750. A lovely hand coloured vue d'optique of the storming of Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands by the French. This occurred as part of the War of the Austrian succession in the late 1740's. This image is quite closely cropped so there are no printer engraver or title visible. Still attractive colouring and in excellent condition. The title is written in French in pencil to the passe partout. Engraving is 23cm x 27cm. The passe partout is 33.5cm x 48cm. Passe partout has a touch of marking only. Curiously there are also examples of this engraving offered suggesting it was by Robert Sayer and showed the siege of Barcelona in 1713. However we go with the majority of museums that this is the French in the Netherlands ! . Vers 1750. Une ravissante « vue d'optique » coloriée à la main représentant la prise de Bergen op Zoom aux Pays-Bas par les Français. Cet événement s'est déroulé dans le cadre de la guerre de Succession d'Autriche à la fin des années 1740. L'image est cadrée de très près de sorte qu'aucun nom d'imprimeur de graveur ou de titre n'est visible. Elle présente néanmoins une coloration attrayante et est en excellent état. Le titre est inscrit en français au crayon sur le passe-partout. La gravure mesure 23 cm x 27 cm. Le passe-partout mesure 335 cm x 48 cm. Le passe-partout ne présente que quelques légères traces d'usure. Curieusement on trouve également sur le marché des exemplaires de cette gravure attribués à Robert Sayer et représentant le siège de Barcelone en 1713. Nous nous rallions toutefois à l'avis de la majorité des musées selon lequel il s'agit bien des Français aux Pays-Bas ! S.P. unknown

La plupart des affiches sont en parfait état n'ayant jamais été utilisées.

Leurs dimensions varient légèrement mais elles mesurent généralement 530 × 780 mm 20¾ × 30¾ pouces. Shanghai Education Publishing House unknown
