2025réf. 142149Ann Arbor MI: The Legacy Press 2025. hardcover sewn. 10 x 7 inches. hardcover sewn. 248 pages. 66 full-color illustrations. What do today's collectors and scholars know about the conditions that existed in a nineteenth-century commercial lithography shop Most of what we do know comes from the prints themselves - places of publication dates names of publishers and artists/draftsmen appearing below the images. That information is supplemented by bare-bones information found in city directories and occasional advertisements for lithography firms and specific prints. But there is one very important primary resource that Peter Marzio introduced to print scholars in his book The Democratic Art 1979 namely the unpublished manuscript Lithography: Its Theory and Practice by Charles Hart which is held by the New York Public Library. Hart worked in the commercial firm established by George Endicott in New York City for twenty years from 1839 to 1859. His manuscript provides personal accounts of many aspects of that firm's business including observations about the lithographic process and commercial printers and artists who worked during this period and later. Georgia Barnhill edited and annotated Hart's manuscript that the late Jay Last had had transcribed and additionally she has provided images of lithographic prints copies of which are among the pages of Hart's manuscript.

2012réf. 114981Worcester Massachusetts: American Antiquarian Society 2012. paperback. 8.5 x 11 inches. paperback. 100 pages. First edition. A near fine copy. With a French Accent: American Lithography to 1860 from the American Antiquarian Society features five essays from Georgia B. Barnhill Lauren B. Hewes Catherine Wilcox-Titus Marie-Stéphanie Delamaire and Helena E. Wright that explore several topics of interest to scholars of American print publishing. Together the essays examine the impact of French lithographic practice on the American lithographic industry and American visual culture; the circulation of French imagery in the United States with a case study on portraits of Napoleon and Lafayette; Goupil's French lithographs after American genre and history paintings; and the use of French lithographs in didactic displays at the Smithsonian Institution in the late nineteenth century. The book explores the variations in quality among early American lithographs. The first essay by Georgia Barnhill closely looks at this phenomenon and examines the work of several academically-trained French lithographic artists who worked in New Orleans New York Philadelphia and Boston from the mid-1830s to 1860. The essay by Lauren Hewes looks at the circulation of French imagery in the United States. Some lithographs in the American Antiquarian Society collection were published in France for an American market and there is a selection of sentimental prints and portraits that were printed in the United States but were French in derivation. The book provides reasoning for why prints of Napoleon and Lafayette were moved into the American culture. Using the paintings and prints of these two political leaders as a case study Catherine Wilcox-Titus reveals the importance of lithography to the dissemination of fine art to a large mass audience. Next the essay by Marie-Stéphanie Delamaire considers how the American paintings reproduced by Goupil Vibert and Company led to the transatlantic cultural understanding and exchange. Because Goupil published so many lithographs for American and European audiences he is an important part of the link between French and American lithography. The last essay by Helena Wright provides thoughts on the afterlife of French lithographs in American culture and the collecting and use of French lithographs in the United States National Museum. Illustrated with black-and-white and color prints this publication will be an excellent resource for the study of American prints and the French influence on the development of early lithography in the United States.

1870réf. 12823Newnan Ga: October 1 1870. Broadside 7.75 x 9 inches with engraved vignette at center. Old folds moderate foxing and dust-soiling light staining. Short closed tear to bottom edge. Overall very good. A delightful mid-19th-century Georgia railroad broadside advertising changes to the ticketing system for one of the southern rail lines owned by William Byrd Berry. Here rates for travel between Berry's hometown of Newnan and Carrollton or Bowdon are specified and the rates for children under the age of 10 are noted as half price. Further the broadside stipulates baggage is capped at fifty pounds and the excess will be charged "Express rates." The work is signed in type by "W.B. Berry & Co." and dated October 1 1870 in Newnan. The text is enhanced with a striking central vignette of a locomotive pulling several railcars through a mountainous region. William Byrd Berry 1831-1902 was a prominent businessman and landowner born and raised in Newnan Georgia. He served as president of various banks and was involved in a number of railroad interests in the state. As far as we can tell the present broadside is unrecorded. October 1 unknown books

The Confederate States purchased it in 1863 at Dumbarton Scotland. The ship was outfitted with guns and commissioned as the CSS Georgia under the command of William Lewis Maury. She captured nine prizes but was sold in June 1864 to a Liverpool merchant in spite of protests from the United States Minister to Great Britain. The ship returned to sea in August 1864 and was captured by the US Navy frigate Niagara off Portugal. She was then sent to Boston and sold as a lawful prize. unknown books
