181318282Philadelphia: Redwood Fisher 1813. First edn. 8vo pp. 91. Untrimmed and uncut little soiled sewn self-wraps a very good copy . Imprints 28087 ArSC OCLaw. Scarce. With a very small Navy the US and its New England merchants paid a stiff price for the Napoleonic Wars. The situation continued to retrict US exports and the northeastern merchants were by no means enthusiastic supporters of the policies that brought on the War of 1812. Indeed Massachsetts merchants tried to employ the use of British licenses to insure their safety on the seas. This offers the case histories of four shipsthat were seized by the British.

RPPC-1455<p>It seems this building went up in 1900. I assume The Royal was a theater of some sort as there is a cheery guy waving from a box office. Casley's Studio stocked Kodaks and picture frames. I found a few mentions of Casley's work online. The ID and date are on the back. The photo is in very good condition with some fade.</p>

These items were produced and manufactured by and for white audiences that enhanced the perception of white racial superiority and class status. These type of items are particularly challenging to many communities however many scholars and private collectors alike agree these materials are historical records and reminders of the racist history of the United States and should not be invisible. The puzzle postcard is an example of mass produced racial stereotyping manufactured for an actual mailing enclosure.

Accredited to Mrs. Rundell of New Systems of Domestic Cookery fame but there are many who think this is a false theory due to her well published falling out with the John Murray. All edges gilt dentelle edging and blindstamped Missing 1 cm. of leather at the head of spine. Interior crisp and clean.
