1901ref. 20022Boston: Bay State Card and Paper Company 1901. NA. Very Good. Unusual promotion for a card and paper company. One flips a flap on a rear case being transported on the back of a delivery tricycle and revealed are many infant heads! Based on the captioning below which reads: "This is a sample of our Families Supplied Novelty at $10.00 per thousand List" this is a promotion for the sort of clever work this stationary printer could do for customers as opposed to selling the particular card. Indeed we don't quite get who would order this card which would seem to turn on punning the word "Delivery" in a manner that seems strained to us although a recipient of the card would probably be mildly charmed by the gimmick and after all the company is promoting its facility with novelty cards. There is charm also in the chromolithographic image even without the flap with its young delivery cyclist from a bygone era a sort of delivery that only recently has staged a major comeback. The card is one folded sheet of card stock. Closed it is oblong measuring 7 by 11 cm and open it is 14 by 11 cm. Moderate wear with a few short surface cracks that run like short veins not tears that cut all the way through and light soiling here and there. Bay State Card and Paper Company unknown books

Edges slightly browned; small publisher's handstamp to first several leaves. A revised edition of Charpentier's best-known opera. In four acts to a libretto by the composer or by Saint-Pol-Roux Louise was first performed in Paris at the Opéra-Comique Salle Favart on 2 February 1900 under Albert Carré. Considered to be his most recognized work "Louise is a supreme example of Charpentier's ability to suit contemporary Parisian taste." Robert Orledge in Grove Music Online. "Even before the première the work had become something of a cause célèbre: rumours circulated about the immorality of the subject matter as well as about the revolutionary nature of the score. In fact it is far from unconventional owing much to Gounod and Massenet; and Massenet admired it. There are however moments of originality . The work's allegiance to the realist cause its rich orchestral palette - which includes instruments as different as the viola d'amore . and the sewing-machine foreshadowing the use of everyday 'instruments' such as the typewriter in Satie's Parade - and the memorability of the set-piece 'Depuis le jour' have assured it a unique place in the repertory." Richard Langham Smith in Grove Music Online. Heugel & Cie. [PN. H. et Cie. 19,659] unknown books
