1917List1730Chicago: Poole Brothers 1917. Folding map measuring 38 ½ x 26 ¾ inches. Tape repairs to verso some tears at folds and edges still bring and attractive good to very good overall with excellent restoration potential. A map of the canneries in Alaska British Columbia and Washington operated by the Deming and Gould Company who were influential in the growth of the Alaskan salmon trade. The map’s date of printing 1917 suggests that perhaps it was related to the war effort as salmon demand increased during this period. The Demings based in Chicago were influential in the growth of the salmon trade in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest founding Pacific American Fisheries Inc. in 1899 and continuing in various iterations until their sale of the firm in 1934 due to president E.B. Deming’s ailing health. The map shows seventeen different canneries several on the Alaska peninsula and the one in Bellingham. We find no record of this imprint only a later and small version held at the University of Washington. Poole Brothers unknown
92323s.l. Bologna 192. . Grande manifesto a doppio foglio cadauno di cm 665 x 100. Stampato in nero e bianco su sfondo uniforme azzurro pastello. Disegnato da Umberto Tirelli raffigura Ugo Lenzi intento a pescare lungo il Reno seduto sull'angolo superiore della squadra massonica; nel retino al suo fianco un unico grosso pesce il tincone tutto attorno a lui nell'acqua tanti pesci sbeffeggiano il pescatore e l'esca da lui usata un sole sullo sfondo il panorama di Bologna. Umberto Tirelli Modena 1871 - Bologna 1954 fu caricaturista e disegnatore collaborò con numerosi giornali a carattere satirico come Il Duca Borso La Secchia Il Fittone Il Giornale delle beffe . e altri. Nel 1923 inaugurò a Bologna il suo "Teatro Nazionale delle Teste di Legno". Le teste erano a grandezza naturale costruite in cartapesta e con caratteri somatici caricaturali. A questa esperienza del disegnatore fa ripensare la grossa testa del pesce che Ugo Lenzi ha preso l'esca a forma di sole potrebbe riportare al periodo della scelta fatta dall'avvocato bolognese quando il Partito Socialista stabilì l'incompatibilità degli iscritti con la Massoneria. Sembrerebbe quindi di poter datare questo manifesto attorno agli anni '20 del XX secolo. Piccoli strappetti ai margini e una vecchia ripresa al retro ma ottimo esemplare con solo alcune righe del testo leggermente ingiallite s.l. (Bologna) unknown

185189397New York: Stringer & Townsend 1851. New Edition Revised and Corrected. Octavo. 20cm. Later full bottle green morocco by Bennett of NY lavishly decorated in gilt with tooling of snipe duck and geese amid ruled gilt borders. 200pp.; 4 ads to rear original decorated brown cloth bound in at the rear. Strong tight and handsome all edges gilt; internally clean and fresh illustrated throughout. A very good clean copy of the 2nd edition overall and the first to be accompanied by llustrations from the author. <br /> <br /> Henry Herbert was a rather tragic figure seemingly continually falling short of his own expectations of himself and who only seemed to find any sort of steady personal voice in his works under the Forester pseudonym discussing the finer arts of shooting fishing and woodland stalking. A sort of wandering genetic remnant of several aristocratic British bloodlines but frequently financially wobbly and unable to get a steady footing Herbert seems to have alienated most people in his circle at one time or another and eventually shot himself in a full length mirror after having thrown a party to which many were invited but none attended. <br /> Although his output included a slew of adventure novels and various other literary exploits he is chiefly remembered for his wistful keenly observed and evocative accounts of woodland sporting activities. Scarce and collectable. Stringer & Townsend unknown

171521179London 1715. Broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Mild foxing. A rare British leaflet from the Fishmonger-Smackman Controversy of 1715. That year a bill was in motion before Parliament that would regulate various aspects of the fishing industry including fish size net use and mesh size and the importation of lobster. The latter issue ignited a significant controversy between and among British fish merchants and lobstermen with the most vocal merchants supporting a clause that would remove a ban on the sale of lobster caught by foreigners. In the present document the pro-free-trade-lobster fishmonger lobby responds to a recent leaflet by fellow fish merchants allied with the smackmen. An early example of commercial lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.
