The Trent Affair; Including a Review of English and American Relations at the Beginning of the Civil War

18962306289Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company 1896. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 0x0x0. First edition. Rebacked with original backstrip laid down new end sheets. Spot on page ridge. 1896 Hard Cover. 288 pp. "The Trent Affair was a diplomatic incident in 1861 during the American Civil War that threatened a war between the United States and the United Kingdom. The U.S. Navy illegally captured two Confederate diplomats from a British ship; the UK protested vigorously. The United States ended the incident by releasing the diplomats. On November 8 1861 the USS San Jacinto commanded by Union Captain Charles Wilkes intercepted the British mail packet RMS Trent and removed as contraband of war two Confederate diplomats: James Murray Mason and John Slidell. The envoys were bound for Britain and France to press the Confederacy's case for diplomatic recognition and to lobby for possible financial and military support. Public reaction in the United States was to celebrate the capture and rally against Britain threatening war. In the Confederate States the hope was that the incident would lead to a permanent rupture in Anglo-American relations and possibly even war or at least diplomatic recognition by Britain. Confederates realized their independence potentially depended on intervention by Britain and France. In Britain the public disapproved of this violation of neutral rights and insult to their national honor. The British government demanded an apology and the release of the prisoners and took steps to strengthen its military forces in Canada and the Atlantic. President Abraham Lincoln and his top advisors did not want to risk war with Britain over this issue. After several tense weeks the crisis was resolved when the Lincoln administration released the envoys and disavowed Captain Wilkes's actions though without a formal apology. Mason and Slidell resumed their voyage to Britain but failed in their goal of achieving diplomatic recognition. The Bowen-Merrill Company hardcover

Chippeway Squaw & Child

18387304Philadelphia:: F.W. Greenough 1838. First edition. Fine. Fine condition. Original lithograph drawn printed and coloured at J.T. Bowen's Lithographic Establishment No 94 Walnut Street Philadelphia. Folio 15 x 21.25 inches. Full sheet with minor edge tear on bottom right yet with rich original color. Matted in Rag Board. As the oil on canvas portrait of Chippeway Squaw & Child by Charles Bird King after painting by James Otto Lewis was destroyed by fire in 1865 this original hand-colored lithograph by JT Bowen is the only surviving rendering of this essential chapter of Americana. During the first quarter of the nineteenth century as the Native American people traveled to Washington DC to discuss their plight; the loss of their lands and destruction of their people they appealed to Thomas McKenney the then Chief to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in whom they found a sincere advocate in the efforts to improve the welfare of the Native American people. After meeting to discuss the situation McKenney invited every one of his guests to sit for formal portraits and included all members; not only the Chiefs but also the Warriors Braves and Women. A pioneer in the study of North American ethnology and superintendent to the Bureau of Indian Affairs under John C. Calhoun Thomas Loraine McKenney Chestertown MD 1785-1859 assembled in his War Department office a virtual archive of the American Indian; a large collection of books manuscripts artifacts and paintings that constituted the first museum in Washington DC. The core of the collection was a gallery of 150 portraits of prominent Indian men and women most of them painted by Washington artist Charles Bird King Newport RI 1785-1862 during official visits to Washington. In addition King copied and painted several portraits after James Otto Lewis 1799-1858. These portraits were later published as part of a mammoth lithography project that McKenney conceived of and launched with the aid of writer James Hall Philadelphia 1793-1868. Known as the History of the Indian Tribes of North America the publication features the portraits and biographies of 120 Indian men and women from McKenneys collection. The entire archive eventually ended up at the Smithsonian Institution where the portraits were destroyed by fire in 1865. ANB. 0300320 Single sheet matted in rag board F.W. Greenough, unknown

He started by taking visiting Native American dignitaries to the studio of Charles Bird King in Washington who would paint their portraits in oil some copies for the dignitaries and some collected by McKenney. These portraits were eventually preserved in the War Department's "Indian Gallery" becoming part of the Smithsonian in 1858. The collection boasted 147 of McKenney's portraits of Native Americans alongside about 200 paintings by John Mix Stanley when it burned to the ground in 1865.Thankfully beginning in 1829 McKenney had embarked on a project to preserve his oil portraits in lithography rescuing most of these important projects for posterity. In September 1829 he signed a contract to publish a work to consist of a history biographies and 120 lithographed plates. The works were issued serially in wrappers and the first volume was collected and published in 1836. By the time the 3rd volume appeared in 1844 15 years after the first contracts were signed the monumental work had consumed six publishers and employed 5 different lithographers."Its long and checkered publication history spanned twelve years and involved multiple lithographers mainly Peter S. Duval and James T. Bowen and publishers but the final product is one of the most distinctive and important books in Americana. Almost all the plates are portraits of individual Native Americans the majority painted from life by Charles Bird King" Reese.This copy in its original contemporary binding is from the contemporary American publisher Louis A.

They were chiefly painted by Mr. King an artist of high repute who has been remarkably successful in transferring to his canvas the strong lineaments of the Indian countenance. Col. M'Kinney sic who was for many years superintendent of Indian affairs at Washington and was thus brought in constant association with the principal men of the nations and tribes which sent representatives to the seat of government conceived the plan of making this rare and curious collection more valuable to the world by publishing a series of engraved portraits exactly copies and colored from these paintings. With each portrait is connected a biographical sketch of the individual whom it is intended to represent interspersed with anecdotes and narrations.
