Very good. Rare broadside advertising gold jewelry and "Patent Embossed Carte de Visites.of all noted personages." from Salisbury Bro. & Co. of Providence Rhode Island. The text describes a large stock of photographs offered at wholesale prices to retailers across the country. The broadside has a vignette of the Salisbury factory in the top quarter of the sheet with a dense cascade of text in a variety of different fonts below. The lower third of the sheet is devoted to descriptions of images of Lincoln and the Civil War advertising three different Lincoln images and the promise "Our Picture of Lincoln is the best ever taken. All others as good as ever sold by any one." They also offer images of other prominent Civil War personages as well as "Booth the Assassin Robert E. Lee Jeff Davis and other prominent Rebels all at the same price. Also we have the ASSASSIN'S VISION and the ASSASSIN'S DOOM on full Cards." This broadside is primarily directed towards retailers as opposed to private customers and provides costs for bulk orders of up to 1000 cartes de visite.

Although Salisbury Bros. & Co.'s cartes de visite and other photographic products are easily accessible in many libraries we could find no record of this broadside. An interesting record of the mass-marketing of photographic images in the post-Civil War era. Salisbury, Bro. & Co. unknown books

SALE OF . . . THE FOLLOWING ESTATE . . . BEING HIS MANSION HOUSE AND LAND" - An apparent proof of broadside announcing an estate sale of a prominent New England landowner that was sent to the family patriarch probably for his approval

1846009697Hingham and Quincy Massachusetts to Bedford New Hampshire 1846. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This broadside which advertises an estate sale to be held on 26 August 1846 measures approximately 13" square has been folded to facilitate mailing. It was printed in Quincy Massachusetts by the auctioneer on 21 August 1846 and sent the following day probably for approval to the family patriarch in Bedford New Hampshire by the guardian of the deceased's children in Hingham Massachusetts. The broadside bears a circular Hingham postmark in red and a black manuscript "2" postal rate the correct cost to send printed matter by mail. It is in nice shape with light toning and wear. The broadside announces two simultaneous auctions to dispose of the estate. "Sale of Real Estate at Bent's Point in Quincy . . . being the property of Mary E. Riddle Charles L. Riddle and Adeline L. Riddle minor children of David Riddle deceased. . . "One undivided fifth part of a certain piece of Land with a Dwelling house and other Buildings . . . containing two acres more or less . . . being formerly the property of Isaac Riddle Esquire deceased being his Mansion House and Land. . . "At the same time and place . . . four-fifths of the above estate will be sold under the direction of Gen. Wm. P. Riddle in behalf of the remaining heirs. . . ." . The Riddles were a prominent and prosperous New England family. Isaac the original owner of this property had also owned property in Bedford as well as the first mill to be built at Merrimack New Hampshire. He and his brother or possibly cousin William P. Riddle formed a militia company of exempts i.e. self-armed and equipped volunteers over 40 years of age who although exempt for military duty chose to organize as a militia unit. The company drilled daily in expectation that as a result of heightened Anglo-American tension over the Oregon-Canada borderit would be called on to fight the British at Portsmouth. But that never happened the unit remained active and grew following the war. Although Isaac apparently lost interest William continued his service and rose to the rank of Major General in the New Hampshire militia before resigning in 1835.

RARE FIRST PRINTING OF TWO OF PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S FINAL THREE PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATIONS

1865WRCAM53482Washington D.C. 1865. Broadside 13 x 8 1/4 inches. Faint dust-soiling minor edge wear with a few short marginal tears repaired on verso. Very good. A rare first broadside printing announcing two of President Lincoln's three final proclamations "Closing Certain Ports" and "Port of Key West to Remain Open" both issued on April 11 1865. President Lincoln issued these proclamations just three days before he was cut down by assassin John Wilkes Booth. Both proclamations are signed in type by Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward. The first proclamation "Closing Certain Ports" shut down a large number of Confederate ports all listed on the proclamation and indicates that "all rights of importation warehousing and other privileges shall in respect to the ports aforesaid cease until they have again been opened by order of the President; and if while said ports are closed any ship or vessel from beyond the United States or having on board any articles subject to duties shall attempt to enter any such port the same together with its tackle apparel furniture and cargo shall be forfeited to the United States." It was President Lincoln's 126th proclamation. The second proclamation "Port of Key West to Remain Open" was issued to amend the previous proclamation. It states that "the port of Key West in the state of Florida was inadvertently included among those which are not open to commerce" and declares that "said port of Key West is and shall remain open to foreign and domestic commerce." It was President Lincoln's 127th proclamation. These two documents constitute the antepenultimate and penultimate proclamations issued by President Lincoln; his last entitled "Claiming Equality of Rights with All Maritime Nations" was promulgated the same day. An important pair of proclamations among the last acts of the Great Emancipator before his untimely demise. unknown books
