1863réf. 182911863. Maine Farmer. January 8 1863 prints the full text of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation within one week of its issuance providing contemporaneous evidence of how federal emancipation policy was circulated to the Northern public during the Civil War. Published just days after January 1 1863 the issue situates emancipation alongside ongoing war reporting integrating the declaration of freedom for enslaved people in Confederate states into the broader military and political narrative of the Union war effort. Introduced under the subheading "The following is the text of the President emancipating the slaves in the rebellious states" the proclamation asserts federal authority through wartime powers declaring that "all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are and henceforward shall be free" and further authorizes the enlistment of Black men into the armed forces. The proximity of this text to battlefield reports and personal correspondence underscores the immediacy with which emancipation entered public discourse as both military strategy and social transformation. Maine Farmer. Vol. not stated. Maine January 8 1863. 4 pages. Newspaper format. The Emancipation Proclamation appears in full on the second page accompanied by additional Civil War coverage including reports of troop movements battle outcomes and casualties. On the same page a letter from a Union soldier of the 16th Maine Regiment written at the Battle of Fredericksburg reads in part: "Dear Father I write you while lying on the battlefield wounded perhaps fatally. Tell mother I think of her while lying here and wish I had her to be with me in my last parting moments." An editorial note explains that the letter was written in pencil on the battlefield the paper "tinged with blood" and that the soldier died the following day linking the proclamation directly to the lived experience of wartime sacrifice. Issued at a turning point in the Civil War the publication captures the intersection of emancipation policy military necessity and public communication in the Union states. The inclusion of both the proclamation and firsthand testimony from the battlefield demonstrates how questions of slavery citizenship and national survival were experienced simultaneously at the level of policy and individual life. Newspapers such as this served as primary vehicles through which federal decisions reached civilian audiences shaping understanding of the war's aims and consequences. Small edge tears and light foxing present not affecting text. Overall very good. unknown books
1865réf. 136231865. Lincoln Abraham. Late Civil War portrait of Abraham Lincoln derived from a February 1865 photograph taken during the final months of the American Civil War. The image records Lincoln near the conclusion of the conflict that preserved the Union and ended legal slavery in the United States. Created shortly before his assassination in April 1865 the portrait captures a visibly worn president whose appearance reflected the physical and political strain of leading the nation through four years of war. The photograph was long attributed to Mathew Brady but was actually taken by government photographer Lewis Emory Walker and issued commercially through the New York photographic publishers E. & H. T. Anthony. The portrait belongs to a group of late images that document Lincoln's appearance in the closing weeks of the war. Stereoview photograph published by Keystone View Company reproducing the 1865 Walker portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Keystone stereograph number 92. The mount bears the Keystone biographical text about Lincoln on the verso together with the company's copyright notice. A handwritten pencil notation on the reverse references the earlier attribution of the photograph to Mathew Brady. The portrait shows Lincoln with closely cut hair a style that contemporary accounts suggested was recommended by his barber in preparation for the creation of a life mask by sculptor Clark Mills. Photographic portraits of Lincoln produced during the final months of the Civil War became some of the most widely circulated visual representations of the president after his assassination in April 1865. Images such as this stereographic reproduction contributed to the creation of Lincoln's public memory in the late nineteenth century when photographic publishers issued stereographs and other prints that allowed Americans to view notable figures through emerging visual media. Stereographs played an important role in popular visual culture during this period offering audiences three dimensional photographic views through stereoscopic viewers and distributing portraits of political leaders to a wide national audience. Light wear consistent with age and handling. Overall condition good to very good. unknown books

These include the "Gevurot Hashem" from the Maharal of Prague Judah Loew ben Bezalel writings by Rabbi Moshe Alshich and "Olelot Ephraim" a collection of ethical homilies by Rabbi Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz. However Abravanel's commentary is present following Yishtabach through the end of the Seder and in the initial six-leaf section preceding the text of the Passover seder which discusses the laws of Passover.

réf. 37867Warsaw: NP n.d. Softcover. g. Octavo. 4 page folded pamphlet. Orange label with black text tipped on the cover titled "Objasnienie" Explanation. The publication offers an explanation of Genesis 49:1 in which Jacob offers his sons a prediction of the end. Basing himself on the 15th century biblical commentator Isaac Abarbanel R. Abraham Kupfersztoch's father took each letter from the verse and produced a prophecy about a world war in which the Russians English Serbians French Italians and Romanians fight against Germany and Turkey. Germany would invade and defeat Russia Poland would gain its independence and the Jews would return to Israel. This process was done in a similar fashion to modern day biblical interpretations known as the "Bible Code". This brand of apocalyptic prophecy was influenced by Abarbanel who read Daniel as predicting an apocalyptic war between Christians and Muslims. Kupfersztoch's prediction was made in 1905 and it appeared to be on its way to fulfillment with the beginning of World War I. His empathy for Polish nationalists is quite striking as it goes against the common view of Polish-Jewish relations as being uniformly negative. Text in Hebrew and Polish. Some marking in pen and underlying in crayon. Overall in good condition. Abraham Isaac Kupfersztoch aka Kupperstock Poland - 1940 Berlin the author was an eccentric Hassidic Rabbi originally from Warsaw. He aided Germany during World War I by providing secret plans of the layout of Russian defenses. His reasons for doing this were based both an personal animus he harbored towards the Russians for executing some of his students years earlier and also likely in connection with this prophecy. As a consequence of his actions during the war he was granted German citizenship. He lived in Berlin and operated a Yeshiva there up through the Nazi period. He was even given financial support from the government and amazingly was one of an extremely rare class of Jewish citizens to have actually been given protection from anti-Semitic actions and persecution during the period. An extraordinary story reports that his yeshiva was in fact guarded from violence during the infamous Kristallnacht by a squad of SS members. Upon his death of natural causes in 1940 his students were subsequently no longer shielded from the Holocaust and were sent to concentration camps. NP unknown books

Image area 19 1/2 x 13 1/2 inches in 28 x 23 inch mat. Abraham Ortelius 1527-1598 was a Flemish geographer of German origin. His major work Theatrum Orbis Terrarum 1570 with later revisions and addenda was the first modern atlas. It was based on contemporary charts and maps and contained a collection of plates engraved by Franz Hagenberg in a uniform size and format. The Theatrum preceded the first Atlas of Ortelius' good friend Gerardus Mercator. In fact popular and sentimental legend has it that Mercator delayed publication of his own work so that his younger friend's would appear first. although this simply is not true Mercator wasn't ready the legendary cartographer did compliment Ortelius for the "care and elegance" he put into his "Theatrum. unknown books
