ref. 3384Paris: Imprimerie et Librairie Administratives de Paul Dupont 1858. . Small folio late 19th century marbled boards cloth spine slightly abraded; original blue printed wrappers bound in; blindstamp of the Boston Public Library on the first page; unopened. The July 1858 issue of "Annales du Commerce Exterieur". The immediate cause of the 1857 panic was the failure of the New York branch of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Co. a major financial force that collapsed following widespread embezzlement. Others causes included the removal of funds from U.S. banks by British investors which raised questions about the overall U.S. economy. The fall of grain prices which spread economic misery into rural areas. The collapse of land speculation programs that depended on new rail routes ruining thousands of investors. Investor confidence was further shaken in mid-September when 30000 pounds of gold were lost at sea in a shipment from the San Francisco Mint to eastern banks. The gold and SS Central America sank during the North Carolina Hurricane of 1857. Public confidence in the government's ability to back its paper currency with specie was shaken as well. Eventually the panic and depression spread to Europe South America and the Far East. No recovery was evident in the United States for a year and a half and the full impact did not dissipate until the Civil War. The South was hurt less than the other regions of the country and many there concluded that the superiority of their economic system had been vindicated this has been posited as a contributing factor to the secession of many of the Southern States resulting in the Civil War. Pages 57-62 outline the trade between France and the United States during the years 1856-1857 with a retrospective look at past trade.

1876ref. 13129Philadelphia 1876. Chromolithographed trade card 3 x 6.5 inches. Minor wear paper and adhesive remnants on verso from removal from scrapbook or similar album. Overall very good. A bright and colorful trade card advertising one of Philadelphia's most successful businesses at the time of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in that city. John B. Stetson 1830-1906 was the son of a successful New Jersey hatter. After being diagnosed with tuberculosis and told he didn't have long to live Stetson traveled west to Colorado for the dry mountain air. Near Pike's Peak sometime in the early 1860s Stetson invented the cowboy hat -- lightweight wide-brimmed waterproof and made out of animal felt usually beaver or rabbit skins. Because it sat easily atop the head offered good protection from the sun could be used to fan the flames of open-air fires and could even carry water Stetson's "Boss of the Plains" style became the most popular hat in the American West. Stetson returned to Philadelphia in 1865 and set up a factory that would turn out millions of hats in the next century and a half. The present trade card emanates from the 1876 Centennial Exhibition celebrating the 100th anniversary of American independence. An illustration of two women and three men show them all wearing Stetson's trademark hats; his address at the time was 1748 to 1754 North 4th Street; his factory would eventually grow to encompass over nine acres and produce over two million hats a year. By 1886 Stetson was the most prolific hat maker in the world. unknown
