réf. a93481Photograph album of unknown male . Photographs on first 10 pages or so have location and date given; only a handful of later photographs are identified and/or dated. There is a newspaper clipping August 16 1911 Florida Morning Tribune mounted with the photographs about three men taking a car ride from Thomasville to Tampa "Pull out of mud with block and tackle" and identifies the 3 men as: J W L Gates E McMath and E Schmelter. The article is followed by 12 photographs of the 3 men and their car trip including the block and tackle and being pulled out of the mud; one of the photos even has "Thomasville to Tampa 1911" in ink on lower edge of image. So.it seems very likely that the owner of this photo album was either Gates McMath or Schmelter. There are quite a few pictures of Florida at the beginning but most of the photographs are of New York City eg the Bronx in 1909 and New York State. Photographs are dated from 1909 to 1922 when they are dated which is not often. They show a man clearly an engineer who was very interested in early aviation there are several photographs of early airplanes flying in Mineola and Hempsted on Long Island and two short newspaper clippings tipped in with the photos about airplane crashes there. There is a photograph of a crashed plane next to the article so perhaps the album owner watched the crash. There are also many photographs of early cars. There is a internal shot of the office of F. Haryansen Bridge Engineer of the Long Island Rail Road dated 1912 which hints that album owner worked at the LIRR. Later there is a view of the J. G. White Engineering Corporation again suggesting owner was an engineer. Man later meets his wife- both are gunowners. They go camping fishing and hunting often and do some skiing. The 430 photos are mostly quite small 1x2; 2x3 1-1/2x2-1/2 inches; a few are larger. Good but Album lacks cover completely. Photos are mounted on black paper 8-1/2 x 11 inches bound by heavy metal 3 ring bar. Almost all photographs are not identified. Several pictures of the album owner standing as he ages over the years. Pictures available on request. . unknown

1852réf. ST20768London: Simpkin & Marshall 1852. FIRST EDITION. 153 x 102 mm. 6 x 4". 64 pp. Publisher's deluxe red pebble-grain morocco gilt covers with graceful Romantic-style frame central panel of upper cover with gilt lettering that of lower cover with gilt ornament spine blind-stamped to resemble raised bands panels with gilt ornament gilt turn-ins pale yellow endpapers all edges gilt. With title page vignette frontispiece portrait of Wellington and three full-page engravings of battles. Printed entirely in gilt on "enamel" gloss paper. Front free endpaper with faint pencilled signature. Binding very slightly soiled joints and extremities a little rubbed trivial soiling to front endpapers otherwise quite a fine copy the text entirely clean fresh and bright with sparkling gold. This now-scarce luxuriously produced little volume celebrates the life and military achievements of Arthur Wellesley Field Marshall and 1st Duke of Wellington perhaps the most widely admired Briton of the 19th century--and does so in glittering fashion. The key facts of Wellington's life and the decisive battles of his storied career are related here in sparkling gold text and images on alabaster white pages. Poet laureate Tennyson's funerary ode described Wellington 1769-1852 as "the last great Englishman" and his death evoked great mourning in response to his life of public service. DNB notes that his defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo crushing the emperor's ambition for European dominance put him in a class of his own: "No man certainly no Briton had ever been in such a situation before in Europe the object of universal hero-worship and gratitude." Wellington was particularly notable among senior military officers for his determination to lead his troops on the frontline in battle. The three battles depicted in the illustrations here attest to this: in "The Battle of Assaye" we see him on horseback two horses were shot from under him during the conflict wielding his sword as he bears down on enemy cannon. At the "Battle of Vittoria" he is shown leading the infantry to face the enemy with bayonet fixed. And in the decisive "Battle of Waterloo" scene he is once again with the cavalry wheeling to attack the advancing French. The frontispiece shows Wellington astride his famed horse Copenhagen who was his mount at Waterloo. Our volume concludes with a chronology of principal events in the duke's life. It is notable that such a handsome memorial work was produced so quickly after Wellington's sudden death on 14 September 1852: a contemporary ad in Bent's Literary Advertiser notes our title was published on 15 November three days before Wellington's state funeral on the 18th. Copies of this work are rare: we could trace no auction sales and OCLC records only seven copies just one in North America. Simpkin & Marshall unknown

1849réf. 74700Boston 1849. Original stampless ms. letter from agent E. P. Pratt to Company Secretary Guy. R. Phelps. The letter on typical blue paper is dated March 13 1849 and concerns policies on two very well known California '49ers; Augustus Elliott and John Webber Jr. Red circular date stamp on verso of March 14. Some age blurring but still extremely legible.Much of the letter concerns a plea for multiple copies of the company's Annual Report but at the top we read - Augustus Elliot ins'd by Policy No. 2660 goes to Calif in Barque Sangrange. At the end of the letter just prior to the salutations we read - John Webber Jr. ins'd by Pol. No. 1401 is going to California overland and wants a Permit; he is in a hurry for it as he starts shortly."A year after Elliott reached California he organized his Atlantic and Pacific Express Company to carry mail and packages between the east and west coasts of America personally accompanying each shipment by steamer across the Isthmus from San Francisco to New York and back again a “superior advantage” especially for those who wished to send gold dust to eastern banks. Offering such illustrious references as the US Senators from Massachusetts and the first federal official in San Francisco he soon added the service of assisting emigrant families to make the trip “on most favorable terms”. This was more than a year before Henry Wells organized the Wells Fargo Company to extend his eastern Express service to California.Unlike Elliott who soon sailed for the Isthmus of Panama Captain John Webber Jr. a heroic veteran of the Mexican-American War was selected to lead the 50 men of the “California Mutual Protection Association” overland to the Gold Fields. Well-equipped with a dozen other military veterans in uniform four musicians “two black servants and six dogs” they left Boston on March 19 a week after this letter was written their six month journey on the Oregon Trail recorded in a diary now held by the Bancroft Library. By the time Webber – portrayed as a U.S.Grant-type soldier in the Discovery Channel dramatization “Gold Fever” – reached Utah on July 31 only four of his group remained. They did not reach Sacramento until September"B. McMakin. unknown
1906réf. 74686San Francisco: A. M. Robertxon 1906. First edition of this scarce Gold Rush account printed for private distribution. Octavo. Frontispiece portrait 87 1 pp. plus 5 full page illustrations. Publisher's 3/4 blue roan leather over marbled boards gilt spine lettering. Front endpaper with strange discoloring and a bit of rubbing to leather but overall a very good copy with a fine inscription by the author.Inscribed by the author son of Pierre Barlow Cornwall. "To my warm friend Milton Eisner Bruce Cornwall." Milton Daniel Eisner was born in San Francisco on July 15 1886. His father Milton S. Eisner was a prominent San Francisco attorney his mother Lena Reinstein Eisner was a member of a prominent San Francisco family her brother Jacob B. Reinstein having served as a Regent of the University of California at the turn of the century. Both of Eisner's parents were native Californians.P. B. Cornwall was an adventurous fellow. In April of 1848 he set out from St. Joe to California. "The narrative records the encounter with the Mormons four thousand strong under Brigham Young at Council Bluffs following the expulsion from Nauvoo; the capture of Cornwall and his companions by Indians; their final escape and arrival at Fort Laramie" Eberstadt 114. They eventually made it across the Rockies but lost their guide Fallon to Native American depredations. Using Fremont's map they crossed the desert and the Sierra Nevada Mountains and arrived in California. Upon their arrival they were $8000 in debt but by the end of their first year had acquired $500000. Pierre Cornwall went on to lead a very active political life in early California. "The Black Diamond Coal Mining Company the Uellingham Bay and British Columbia Railroad the California Electric Light Company and the Mutual Electric Light Company were organized or promoted by him. He had a wide grasp on commercial problems and remarkable foresight and his ventures . were correspondingly satisfactory. Active in business Mr. Cornwall found time for attending to other interests. Never seeking office for himself he was a hard worker for the success of Republicanism in California. He was chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. He was the last surviving member of the first California Legislature and also of the first California constitutional convention. He was a president of the Society of California Pioneers and a member of the Board of Regents of the University of California." San Francisco Call; 9/26/1904. A. M. Robertxon hardcover
