From the heading 'Voyage aux Etats-Unis / 1876-1877' on the first page of this album as well as from the wording of the captions to the drawings it is clear that these highly accomplished watercolours are the work of a French-speaking visitor to North America in 1876-1877. They include 14 views of Lake George and its vicinity including one of Caldwell now Lake George Village and one of Tea Island. Also included is a single view of a rocky outcrop and trees in Central Park another of Glenn Falls on the Hudson and a third of the Montmorency Falls just outside Quebec as well as two fine but rather unexpected Swiss views of Amphion Lake Geneva both dated 1877. unknown

Notes bibliographiques et historiques: Cette anthologie graphique et poétique a été mise en œuvre par l'éditeur bernois E.W. Kornfeld qui devait en assurer la diffusion et Sam Francis, qui en était l'editeur avec l'auteur Walasse Ting ; ils en partagèrent les frais. Le livre lui-même fut réalisé à Paris; les lithographies furent tirées chez Maurice Beaudet et la typographie par Georges Girard. Antoine Coron souligne le caractère de global book de “1¢ Life”, ses deux pôles étant New York, centre du pop art américain - une douzaine d'artistes se rattachent à ce mouvement - et Paris, mais un Paris peuplé d'Américains installés ou de passage, de Belges, de Néerlandais, de Danois... Dix nationalités sont représentées dans le livre où les seuls Français sont ses artisans imprimeurs. “1¢ Life” apparut comme le livre d'une génération de peintres américains et européens, dont certains (Walasse Ting et Sam Francis parmi les Américains) avaient vécu et s'étaient connus à Paris durant les années 50. [...] Livre de peintres par excellence, étonnant par la profusion de ses contributions graphiques, l'invention colorée de sa typographie, “1¢ Life”, comme “Poésie de mots inconnus”, fait tomber toute réticence face aux livres collectifs. Pourtant, à la différence du livre d’Iliazd, ce n’est pas la fermeté de sa construction qui en assure l’unité, mais la surprise que ménage le renouvellement constant de sa mise en pages (Antoine Coron). -- SHORT ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: A superb copy of Ting's collaborative masterpiece.

"The Big Apple in two stunning views"Measures each 56,5 x 85 cm, in custom-made mats and fine old frames.Two colored lithographs after the original painting by Charles R. Parsons (1844-1920) and Lyman W. Atwater (1835-1891) representing two different views of the Port of New York. They were published by Currier and Ives, who used to call themselves the "Printmakers to the People". Founded in 1834, they produced high-quality lithographs until the business closed in 1907: hundreds of images that chronicled the growth of the United States. These stunning bird's-eye views show typical boats and ships of the late 19th century veering in and around Staten Island, Governor's Island, part of Brooklyn, New Jersey and Manhattan, and include several points of interest. At the center of the first view is Castle Garden, originally an island and cultural hub with a world famous theater. The view of the Port is titled "Bird's eye from the Battery".

1726ref. 58548New-York: William Bradford 1726. Early New York Laws Including for the Suppression of Slave Revolts from an Important Printer with Distinguished Provenance The Henry F. DePuy copy of Bradford's important early printing of the New York Acts of Assembly collecting all legislation passed between 1691 and 1725. Included are acts "for quieting and settling the Disorders that have lately happened within this Province" 1691 "for restraining and punishing Privateers and Pyrates" 1693 and 1698 and "against Jesuites and Popish Priests" 1700 as well as numerous acts "for Regulating Slaves" and one for "Baptizing them" 1706. A law of 1712 is "An Act for Preventing Suppressing and Punishing the Conspiracy and Insurrection of Negroes and Other Slaves" and a law of 1716 prevents the "Selling and giving of Rum or other Strong Liquors to the Indians." Other acts relate to Queen Anne's War as well as the continuing conflicts with the French and Indians. The final twenty pages contain additional ordinances for "Regulating & Establishing Fees" for various public officials and for "Regulating the Recording of Deeds and other Writings." William Bradford 1663–1752 was the "pioneering printer of the English middle colonies" the first in both Pennsylvania and New York DAB. He originally settled in Pennsylvania where he began operating a printing press in 1685 and a bookstore in 1688. Controversies within the Quaker community with Bradford supporting the dissident George Keith led to the temporary seizure of his types and paper in 1692 and in 1693 he moved to New York as the colony's first public printer. Bradford's "accomplishments were not inconsiderable and his importance as a printer remains untarnished. His establishment was a veritable seed farm for future printers having had as apprentices John Peter Zenger Henry DeForeest James Parker and his own son Andrew; and he was himself the progenitor of four generations of printers and publishers. He printed New York's first lawbook 1694 the first published proceedings of an American legislature New York 1695 the first New York paper currency 1709 the first American Book of Common Prayer 1706 the first history of New York 1727 and the first copperplate plan of the city 1730 as well as New York's first newspaper" Wall. Henry F. DePuy 1859–1924 was an important collector of early Native American material particularly captivity narratives as well as American colonial material and Constitutional history. DePuy was also well respected as a scholar publishing a bibliography of colonial treaties with the Native Americans and another on Jesuit missions in America. At the time of his death he was working on a bibliography of Bradford. There is also a typed note laid in from George Parker Winship on John Carter Brown Library letterhead discussing typographical details of this volume. The bookplate of William Smith is accompanied by a note in DePuy's hand: "This bookplate I bought from a dealer and inserted in this book for the reason that when I bought the book in 1902 from A.S. Clark he told me that he had bought this book with others which he showed me from Mr. DeLancey who had told Mr. Clark that when Wm. Smith the Historian of New York left the country at the close of the Revolution he had left these books with Mr. DeLancey's family for safe keeping. At least one of the other volumes that Mr. Clark obtained at the same time had Wm. Smith's book plate—it was The Laws of N.J."

ref. 20272Oblong 4to. 9 original unsigned photographs 352 × 272 mm each with contemporary ink captions mounted on guards. Contemporary black shagreen title gilt on upper cover. Binding somewhat restored. Unrecorded photographic album documenting the spectacular illuminations and decorations of New York City in honor of the visiting British and French War Commissions in May 1917 shortly after the United States entered the First World War. These large-scale civic receptions formed part of a coordinated series of public demonstrations celebrating Allied solidarity and America's entry into the conflict. The photographs present rare night views of the city's wartime festivities including: City Hall Building; Washington Arch views looking south and north; Lafayette Statue Union Square; entrance to the "Golden Way" Fifth Avenue from Madison Square; Court of Honor with the New York Public Library; Pulitzer Monument at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street; Joan of Arc statue on Riverside Drive; and the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument Riverside Drive. Such events were widely photographed most notably by the Wurts Brothers whose images are preserved in major institutional collections but night views of these illuminations appear to be unrecorded making this set particularly rare. In 1917 New York likewise staged elaborate decorations for other Allied missions including Italian Japanese and Russian delegations at sites such as Battery Park City Hall Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art underscoring the city's role as a stage for wartime diplomacy and public spectacle. PROVENANCE: René Viviani 1863-1925 his name gilt on upper cover. In April–May 1917 the former French Prime Minister led a high-level French war mission to the United States accompanied by Marshal Joseph Joffre to coordinate war efforts and strengthen Franco-American cooperation following the U.S. entry into the war.
