13933This American opera coloratura soprano's debut in 1926 at age 19 made her the youngest prima donna to premiere at the Metropolitan Opera as gilda in Verdi's "Rigoletto" and briefly made her the toast of the town -- heard on the radio and seen and heard in some of the first short sound films; but her decline was just as meteoric as her rise and her career fizzled and sputtered afterward. PS Peyton 8" X 10" n.p. 1926 May 10. Fine. Formal half-length portrait of the 19-year-old star boldly signed and dated in black ink in a light area near the bottom.

PS 8½" X 11" n.p. 1945 November 4. Very good. Small glue stain at upper right well away from image. This most unusual PS does not depict Teillard herself but rather is a thermofax copy of a 3½" X 3½" portrait of a young Ward Hill Lamon centered and with large margins. Early head-and-shoulders portrait showing a youthful Lamon with long curly hair and flowing goatee. On the ample lower margin his daughter inscribes it big and bold: "With regards of / Dorothy Lamon Teillard / November 4 1945." Though written while well into her 80s Teillard's script is fluid and attractive. A quite uncommon autograph in an unusual form. unknown

14695Influential British locomotive engineer executive and innovator; as Locomotive Superintendent of the London & North Western Railway Company from 1871 to 1903 his word was law and in the city of Crewe where the L. & N.W.R. operated its "Crewe Works" he was known as "The King of Crewe." Rare signed production photograph most likely a heliotype heavy stock 24" X 16" Crewe England 1891. Very good. Light even age toning except verso where acidic backing has darkened unevenly; several small archivally closed on verso edge tears; very slight waviness at some edges. This piece actually consists of three separate images tipped to the heavy 24" X 16" sheet: Center image 14" X 11½" shows this locomotive in close-up profile left side image 3½" X 11½" shows a frontal view and right side image also 3½" X 11½" shows a rear view. Titled "Eight-Wheeled Compound Express Passenger Locomotive" in large typeface below the center image with "F.W. Webb's System" below that in smaller typeface and two lines of technical statistics at the bottom "High-pressure Cylinders 15 in. diam. x 24 in. stroke. Low-pressure Cylinder 30 in. diam. x 24 in. stroke. Driving Wheels 7 ft. 1 in. diam. / Leading Wheels radial. Fixed Wheel base 8 ft. 3 in. Trailing Wheels ½ in. side play.". In the latter part of the 19th century Webb took a leading role in the development of compound locomotives -- those in which the steam operates more than one set of cylinders. The locomotive depicted here is part of the "Greater Britain" class a type of eight-wheeled express engine featuring an extra long combustion chamber and distinguished by their 7 foot 1 inch driving wheel; of these Webb designed ten models. The first of these appeared in 1891 -- and may well be the version depicted in this print. At the lower right corner above the printed text "Crewe Works 1891" Webb signs big and bold. Verso of this print bears an oval inkstamp of the L. & N.W.R. Mechanical Engineer's Office dated 30 September 1893. A superb and significant piece ideal for display. unknown

36435This long-term Republican representative from U.S. Grant's adoptive hometown of Galena Illinois served this district in Northwestern Illinois for fourteen terms 1933-61. Partly-printed DS 1p 8½" X 11" Jo Daviess County IL 1926 October 15. Very good. Faint age toning. "Declaration of Intention" document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Naturalization Service for one Andrew Boeckl a 24-year-old marble worker from Bavaria Germany who had arrived in New York in 1924. Most interesting is the printed text noting that "It is my bona fide intention to renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince potentate state or sovereignty and particularly to The German Reich" these last three words inked in -- but better yet is the following printed text: "I am not an anarchist; I am not a polygamist nor a believer in the practice of polygamy." Entirely filled out in Allen's attractive hand in black ink and at lower right as clerk of the circuit court he signs boldly. A delightful provocative period piece reminiscent of the oaths of allegiance signed by Confederate soldiers at the close of the Civil War. The Third Reich and anarchy statements are classic 1920s with fascism encroaching upon Europe and anarchists such as Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman capturing the headlines. The polygamy content seems a bit less obvious no waves of anti-polygamy sentiment sweeping the country but simply represents a typical post-World War One reaction against extremism of any sort. unknown
17454Partly-printed AD 1p 8½" X 6" New Orleans LA 1842 July 1. Fine. Partly-printed "Manifest of the Cargo of the Flat Boat No. 47" listing a cargo of 14 casks of bacon 75 kegs of lard and 5 tons of bacon being taxed by the city $2.34. On the verso is a printed "Extract from an Ordinance passed by the Council of the Second Municipality of New-Orleans June 21 1842." Interesting bit of pre-Civil War Louisiana maritime history. unknown
40809This amiable American leading man of the late 1930s best known for "The Story of Alexander Graham Bell" appeared in dozens of films well into the 1990s; he became more popular than ever late in life appearing in "Trading Places" 1983 and winning an Oscar for the 1985 film "Cocoon." Partly-printed TDS 1p 9¼" X 3" Hollywood CA 1936 August 8. Near fine. Pale orange check drawn on the California Bank typed out to "CASH" in the amount of $150.00 and boldly signed in black ink by Ameche. Normal bank perforation cancellations not touching signature. An attractive piece from quite early in Ameche's career -- his film debut had only occurred the previous year. It wasn't until 1939 that his most famous role as Alexander Graham Bell would make him a household name -- and actually make the name "ameche" synonymous with the telephone as in "You're wanted on the ameche!" Accompanied by an 8½" X 11" reproduction of an early head-and-shoulders caricature of a smiling young Ameche. unknown
41819This son of the first white child born in Chicago daughter of pioneering fur trader John Kinzie served with the 1st Michigan Infantry in the Civil War later serving as a battalion commander at the frontier in 1869 in General Nelson Miles' "Yellowstone Campaign."

Notes receipt of two "Common Tents" two sets of "Common Tent Poles" and five sets of "Common Tent Pins" noting their condition as "Serviceable" and "New." Penned just four weeks after the Battle of Little Big Horn and from the military post where Sitting Bull would later be kept. Scarce and unusual. unknown

Attorney Bee ten a member of the Commons House witnesses a subpoena issued to Andrew Cunningham. Also signed by THOMAS KNOX GORDON South Carolina chief justice. Bee signs a second time simply "Bee" on the verso. Picturesque and interesting. unknown
31816This self-styled "nephew" of Mark Twain was actually his third cousin twice removed but nevertheless made a career of editing and publishing sentimental scholarly questionable works about Samuel Clemens such as "Gold Rush Days with Mark Twain" 1930 "Mark Twain and Mussolini" 1934 "My Cousin Mark Twain" 1939 and "Young Sam Clemens" 1942 along with editing the "Mark Twain Quarterly" upon its establishment in 1936 and founding the International Mark Twain Society. Partly-Printed ADS 1p 6¼" X 2 3/4" Kirkwood Missouri 1967 January 15. Check drawn on the First Security Bank in Kirkwood on pale blue stock filled out and signed entirely in Clemens' large bold hand in black fineline made out to John Dos Passos in the amount of five dollars. Usual red inkstamped cancellation. Near fine. DOS PASSOS 1896-1970 was the prolific American novelist best known for his "U.S.A." trilogy. He boldly endorses the check on the verso in blue ballpoint. An interesting pairing of literary figures. unknown
