1955137035Los Angeles: Joseph Cossman 1955. Original merchandising poster for a non-existent film circa 1955 created by entrepreneur Joseph Cossman for no other purpose than to sell the poster via mail order to individuals who wished to live in a world where they co-starred with Jayne Mansfield as their romantic female lead. In this case the lucky man was Ernie Cisney. <br/><br/>The poster was printed first as a four-color poster lacking the name of the co-star below Jayne Mansfield's and when the orders came rolling in the purchasing party's name would be added. Apart from the names of Cossman apparently the inventor of "Cosmo-Color" and Mansfield-along with a wild appropriation of the Fawcett Gold Medal logo at the top right corner-none of the names on the poster represent real persons in the film industry. <br/><br/>Cossman was a mail-order magnate responsible for the invention and marketing of such memorable 1950s products as the Spud Gun and the Ant Farm marketed entirely through comic books newspapers and magazines. The poster here represents an attempt on Cossman's part to sell posters as inventions rather than an advertisement of an actual film. Though it no doubt never crossed Crossman's mind a fascinating early example of meta-advertising. <br/><br/>Research has produced two other examples of the poster images only with the same design but different fictional names this being the only actual example of the poster we have handled or seen. <br/><br/>17.5 x 28 inches. Folded with a few pinholes at the corners a couple of short separations at the folds and a tiny chip at one corner. Very Good overall. Joseph Cossman unknown books

Mansfield Lovell and the War Office in Richmond regarding New Orleans' defenses. Upon his resignation as deputy street commissioner of New York City Lovell was made a major general in the Confederate army charged with the defense of New Orleans. His constant want of arms and men is borne out in the present correspondence as is his desire to keep the transmissions as secret as possible. His material insufficiencies compelled him to evacuate the city nearly guaranteeing Union control of the Mississippi. A Confederate board of inquiry judged him responsible for the loss and he was barred from any further major command. Important background to one of the most important Union victories of the war. Quite scarce. HOWES L523 "aa." PARRISH & WILLINGHAM 2316. GENERALS IN GRAY p.194. R.M. Smith unknown books

Illustrated with 160 =159 as there is no Figure 50 intratextual figures diagrams & schematics. 8vo: A8 -A1 = 2L1 a4 -a4 a4 B - 2K8 2L1. 7-5/8" x 5" <br/><br/>Mansfield was known primarily for his work as the chemist who developed a process for extracting benzol from coal-tar thereby laying the foundation for the aniline industry as well as for his publication 'Theory of Salts' which is viewed as his most important contribution to theoretical chemistry. Mansfield's scientific orientation is notable in the perspective & approach displayed in this work where he devotes much thought & consideration to motive & powered aerial navigation as then current LTA efforts were subject to the whims of nature as they had been for the most part ever since Montgolfier. This publication along with all of his other works though written in the early 1850s was issued posthumously Mansfield having died prematurely at the young age of 36 from burns suffered during a laboratory accident. The DNB describes this title as "one of the most striking and suggestive works on its subject." MacMillan & Co hardcover books
