189554270Boston MA: F.N. Atwood c. 1895 1898. One colour lithograph reverse mounted on glass sized 8 x 13 in. fitted with brass chain frame and hanger possibly used as chimney flue cover minor edgewear to glass minor soiling to chain very minor spotting dustsoiling still an excellent piece w/ bright strong image. The USS Maine ACR-1 was launched in 1895 and was an armored cruiser together with her near-sister ship USS Texas with two gun turrets staggered en echelon rather than on the centerline with fore gun sponsoned out on the starboard side of the ship. As she took seven years to build she was out of date upon launching. She sailed with the North Atlantic Squadron operating from Norfolkd along the East Coast and the Caribbean. Feb. 15 1898 an explosion obliterated the forward third of the ship killing 260 sailors and the Spanish-American War began in April 1898 two months later. Atwood b. 1844 was a Massachusetts nautical maritime painter who operated studios in Boston and Maine and painted the original for Brigadier General H.A. Wheeler in 1895 and in 1898 the colour print was issued as a patriotic souvenir. Victorian flue covers were used after the chimney flues were removed in 19th-century homes following Winter and often served as an advertising giveaway. F.N. Atwood, unknown

2621n.pl: n.p. n.d. First edition. Very Good. A CLASS DIVIDED: A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF SIGNATURES OF WEST POINT ALUMNI SOON TO BE DIVIDED BY THE CIVIL WAR. <br /> <br /> WITH: FINELY DRAWN INK MAP OF WEST POINT BY ALEXANDER STEWART WEBB AND ELEGANT WATERCOLOR VIEW. <br /> <br /> FROM THE COLLECTION OF JEB STUART. The Signatures:<br /> <br /> The present collection includes two large displays of signatures on sheets featuring numerous small boxes printed onto them filled in by each individual with their name and a location perhaps their current residences. The effect these documents give is the impression of an informal assortment of hand-written calling cards amassed after a social function of West Point alumni. Predominately the sheets are signed by most of the Class of 1854 a fateful group who were soon be divided by the impending Civil War. Beyond this outstanding group other graduating classes are represented as well as certain individuals who were not graduates of the USMA but no less salient figures of wartime America-including Albert J. Myer inventor of wigwag signalling and James Wiley Magoffin lessor for the land upon which Fort Bliss would be built.<br /> <br /> The terminus ad quem for the collection of signatures is most likely 1854 the earliest death of any signee in this case John L. Grattan who died after encountering Sioux troops in the Dakota Territory. Yet a number of signees are from later graduating classes-so either if the signatures were assembled all on one date these individuals were still current students or possibly these sheets represents a longer project of collecting the signatures. <br /> The providences of those who signed these papers alone reflect the many sacrifices made by the servicemen. Michael Ryan Morgan Class of '54 survived the War retired in 1897 and lived to be nearly 80 and Albert J. Myer lived on to propagate his widely-successful wig-wag flag signalling system across the world. William Dorsey Pender and Stephen Hinsdale Weed both Class of '54 perished as so many did at Gettysburg in the early days of July 1863-only three decades of age each. John T. Magruder Class '57 by solemn contrast was killed only one year after his graduation from West Point; the Sacramento Daily Union edition of 17 August 1858 published the notice:<br /> <br /> Information has been received of the sudden death of Lieut. Magruder of Washington City while on his way to Great Salt Lake with the Utah army. His death was caused by another man a quarrel having arose between them which resulted in the shooting of Lieut. Magruder. His parents reside at Washington.<br /> <br /> Yet unlike his peers who would shortly be fractionalised among the Union and Confederate armies Magruder never knew the domestic horror of the Civil War-neither the extent of violence on American soil nor the growing schism between his fellow class-men.<br /> <br /> An enumeration of each of the 53 signees is provided below along with brief biographical details.<br /> <br /> Two West Point Illustrations from Signed JEB Stuart Scrapbook - A Fine Map in Ink by Alexander Stewart Webb and a Watercolour Study:<br /> <br /> In a largely dilapidated scrapbook owned by JEB Stuart signed faintly in pencil "JEB Stuart June 1853" the summer between his Junior and Senior years at West Point two impressive illustrations have been preserved.<br /> The first is a topographic map in ink by Alexander Stewart Webb Class of '55 JEB Stuart's underclassman by one year. Brevetted Brigidier General and Major General on 13 March 1865 Webb was recognised "for gallant and meritorious services in the campaign terminating with the surrender of the insurgent army under Gen. Lee." and his wartime letters are now held at Yale University's Beinecke Library see "Webb Samuel Blatchley" in Appleton p. 403. The present drawing possibly depicting an aerial view of either Trophy Point or Constitution Island is remarkable for the meticulous line shading to capture the region's elevation and natural features.<br /> <br /> The second illustration a miniature watercolour study in sepia offers a scenic view from the Plain at Trophy Point overlooking the water with Constitution off to the right in the background. Signed "Merrill" it is feasibly by Lewis Merrill Class of '55 based on proximity to JEB Stuart's time at West Point but this is uncertain.<br /> Both of these images from JEB Stuart's personal collection capture the natural beauty and early history of USMA West Point.<br /> <br /> ___________<br /> <br /> West Point signature displays c. 1854. 2 pages on 2 folia 13 x 10¾ in; framed: 23 x 20 ¾ in.
