194547585Breendonk: Amicale des Postiers Prisonniers Politiques Rescapés 1945. Original broadside pictorial diploma 24.5x32cm. printed lithograph on cream stock in red gilt and black accomplished in manuscript and rubberstamp. Minor foxing else a fresh Fine example. Exceedingly uncommon diploma awarded to a survivor of the Nazi prison camp at Fort Breendonk outside Antwerp. The camp generally held political prisoners members of the Resistance and Jews who were almost all subsequently dispersed to the larger concentration camp across Eastern Europe. More than 3000 prisoners passed through Breendonk of whom approximately ten percent died or were executed within its walls while half perished following deportation to other camps. The present certificate awarded to a member of the French resistance a mechanic outside Saumur in the Maine-et-Loire department of Western France his arrest part of a massive purge following the assassination of a Dr. Ritter representative of Gauleiter Sauckel in France see Colonel Remy "La Résistance en Anjou Touraine et Orléanais" 1975 Vol. 1 p. 103. The entire town of Saumur was later awarded the Croix de Guerre for its role in the resistance. <br/><br/>Certificate margins adorned with poignant vignettes of camp life men in striped uniforms awaiting execution working in the mines or caught in barbed wire fence. In the case of Huberdeau his first name here spelled "Villiam" he was awarded this diploma for "sa déportation dans le bagnes nazis" "his deportation to the nazi camps". Though no mention is explicitly made to Breendonk it appears that the award was given to survivors of that camp specifically.

1863WRCAM56092N.p. but likely Schenectady N.Y. 1863. Letterpress broadside 15 x 10 inches text surrounded by ornamental border. Old folds four short horizontal closed tears to right edge expertly repaired on verso. Light penciled parentheses marks around final stanza. Very good. A rare example of a Civil War-era carrier's address produced by the printer's apprentice of the "Democrat and Reflector." This is very likely a reference to the SCHENECTADY DEMOCRAT AND REFLECTOR which ran from 1860 to 1867 in that city. For over 200 years carrier's addresses were printed by the apprentices or "printer's devil" at printing shops around the world and handed out on New Year's Day by carriers of newspapers in an attempt to solicit tips and gifts from loyal patrons. This extra income was an important supplement for apprentices who often worked unpaid positions just to gain experience. <br> <br> The present example prints a long poem divided into the four seasons with a "Finale" added after the winter stanza. The author of the poem begins "I sing of the old year past" and follows with a long poem beginning in the spring as its "Mild southern gales breathe on the earth" and "notes of joy fill earth and sky." The summer "offers her fruits and flowers." In the autumn "Bleak tempests gather in the north." And winter arrives "bleak and dreary" though there is mention of "The Christmas Carol - St. Nicholas too." <br> <br> Lastly in the "Finale" the author includes an entire stanza on the current Civil War which begins: "'Grim visaged war' yet rules our land And calls from quiet homes full many a band Of heroes. - And Industry with might and skill To maim and splinter wound and kill Makes wondrous cannon projectiles vast; From 'Swamps' a fiery 'Angel' cast To shell with Grecian fires the spot Where rank Secession was begot." <br> <br> The address concludes with a call to "Support the printer and the Carrier too" as "The Carrier dofts his beaver and wishes all A Happy New Year - on his annual call." <br> <br> No copies of this address appear in OCLC. unknown books

1867List309Virginia City: Sutterley and Co 1867. Albumen photograph on mount 4 x 2 ½ inches. Pauline Cushman was an actress and one of the most successful spies for the Union Army. She ingratiated herself with the Confederate army by toasting Jefferson Davis after one of her performances. She was eventually caught and sentenced to death by hanging. She was spared only due to the arrival of the Union Army. <br /> <br /> After the war she toured the country giving lectures and performances recounting her experiences as a spy. She eventually headed west marrying in 1872 in San Francisco and eventually working a range of jobs in Arizona Territory Texas and eventually back in San Francisco where she died in 1893 at age 60 from a morphine overdose. <br /> <br /> We find no record of this portrait which was taken by the Sutterley brothers James and Clement in their Virginia City Nevada studio somewhere between 1864 and 1867. The Sutterleys operated out of their studio on the Union block of Virginia City for five years before dissolving their partnership in 1867. It is likely that the portrait was taken during one of Cushman's tours throughout the region during these years. <br /> <br /> A beautifully preserved example in very good condition with a small chip to upper margin and some fading. Though Cushman ostensibly would have sold cartes-de-visite in support of her touring few survive on the market today. Sutterley and Co unknown books
