"This was Connett's first major work in fine book production. It was contracted through Ernest Gee and Mr. Woodward spared no expense ." Siegel p. 52. The idea had come to Mr. Woodward whose Belair Stables bred some of the greatest racehorses of the 1920s and 1930s to do a book about the portraits he owned after listening to Mr. Vosburgh regale him with stories about them one Sunday afternoon. The portraits include Stubbs' 'Godolphin Arabian' and a vast stable of paintings by Herring Senior racing scenes and other works.<br /> "The twenty-one copy edition of Cherished Portraits of Thoroughbred Horses is one of the rarest works of its kind in America. . It was Connett's most amibitious project and if produced today would easily cost several thousand dollars per copy" Siegel p. 174.<br /> <br /> Unique survival of the production process for one of the great American sporting books of the interwar years and a testament to Woodward's close involvement with the book.

1850205961850. Albumen carte-de-visite depicting a woman dressed in a dark riding habit holding a slender riding crop in her right hand and resting her left on a desk. C.a. 1850s-70s. 2.5" x 4" on cardstock mount. There are no markings on the photograph indicating the woman's identity though her long-sleeved fitted bodice and full skirt are characteristic of American equestrian fashion in the mid-19th century. Riding habits of this period often adapted the tailored silhouette of men's coats paired with practical yet elegant skirts suitable for sidesaddle riding. The riding crop in her hand was both a functional tool for controlling a mount and a fashionable accessory in formal equestrian portraiture. Women's participation in equestrian activities in the 19th century was often associated with skill refinement and social standing with formal portraits like this serving as lasting representations of their horsemanship and style. Overall very good condition. A fine example of mid-19th century equestrian portrait photography. unknown

Slight soil to vellum. Top edge gilt. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are clean crisp and unmarked. NO foxing. Illustrated with 9 portraits including a tissue-guarded frontispiece. Tribute to geologist and mining engineer Clarence King 1842-1901 published for the King Memorial Committee of the Century Association by G. P. Putnam's Sons. This volume contains the first appearance in book form of King's 38-page short story HELMET OF MAMBRINO. However the bulk of the volume consists of personal memoirs and biographical sketches of King -- with chapters contributed by James D. Hague John Hay William Dean Howells Henry Adams John LaFarge Edmund Clarence Stedman William Crary Brownell Edward Cary Samuel Franklin Emmons Daniel C. Gilman and Rossiter W. Raymond. Bibliography of King's publications. Synoptic Index. When Congress established the United States Geological Survey in 1878 it was King who was put in charge. King initiated the practice of using Hoffmann's contour lines to denote topography on maps and was among the first to make extensive use of the laboratory to solve geophysical problems. In addition to his many scientific contributions "from early youth King had shown literary qualities of a high order and it has always been a source of regret among his friends that he left so little evidence of it. A series of sketches appearing first in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY and afterward in book form under the caption of MOUNTAINEERING IN THE SIERRA NEVADA 1872 and his HELMET OF MAMBRINO in the form of a letter to his friend `Don Horacio' Horace F. Cutter in San Francisco published in the CENTURY MAGAZINE May 1886 serve but to show his latent capability." -- DAB p. 386. Cowan p. 328 A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA 1510-1930. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good condition. 8vo. vii 429pp. G. P. Putnam's Sons Hardcover
