195318800Boston 1953. Tempera on paper. Initialled "R.S.W." Mounted circular label lower right. Handsome 1950s sports car design.<br/> <br/>All of our present information about this drawing comes from a label on the back of the piece which indicates that it comes from the archives of the A.J. White Motor Vehicle Research Company - designers of exotic cars in the Boston MA area. We have not discovered any further information about the A. J. White Research Company thus far nor about the artist R.S.W. of this particular drawing. There does not appear to be any connection to the great White truck manufacturer. The drawing itself is especially nice its cool red sportscar positioned diagonally between two details in blue in a way that makes it appear anxious to move. unknown books

18462556West Point NY 1846. Cream paper creased. Good. 25.5 x 19 cm. Margaret Stebbins Scammon writes her brother from West Point where her husband E. Parker Scammon is an officer with the United Army Corps of Topographic Engineers. Parker would later command the 23rd Ohio Regiment during the Civil War. <br /> <br />Good Friday Morn. 1846 <br /> <br />My Dearest brother <br /> <br />Parker fully intended to cover this envelope to you but as he was about doing it the Quartermaster must needs send for him to come to the Library for some important briefings: and so he begs me to write for him and apologize to the best of my ability for the non-appearance of your beer. You must have thought him very neglectful and tho' it is rather an awkward task I will tell you the whole truth. If you will have patience to wait till the end of this month it shall then be forthcoming. He expected to order it on the 1st but our cook took it into his head to go back to the city to live and as we had at his own request kept back the quarter part of his wages for 18 months you must know our last month's pay went with a rush and as we are so involved on every side we wont borrow and therefore all parties ourselves included must wait till after another visit from the Paymaster for our good beer. I have thus most frankly stated to you the case and I hope you will excuse it. We remember that we are still considerably in your debt so that it is with great pleasure that P. will attend to your order just so soon as circumstances will permit. I think the value of the empty half barrels returned is $1.50 each and they quite well have them as money. They are returned at any time and credited to sender. <br /> <br />We are looking forward to your visit in June or July with impatience. Do not disappoint us. <br /> <br />Your very aft sister <br /> <br />Margaret <br /> <br /> <br />The letter is addressed to Margaret's brother - Mr. John B. Stebbins Care of Homer Foote & Co. Springfield Mass. We know the merchant her brother worked for Homer Foote had become a very wealthy retailer in Springfield and assume that John B. was successful as well. <br />Letter has some foxing and tears in areas where there is creasing.

As the official portraitist of the Metropolitan Opera from 1908 until 1932 he became the foremost portrayer of Golden Age opera singers. While photographing opera stars for the Metropolitan he maintained a portrait studio frequented by many of the most significant performing artists of the day.<br/><br/>"In certain respects he had the most difficult task of any theatrical photographer of the early 20th century for he was constantly having to temper the hyperbolically dramatic poses that opera singers employed on the vast stages of Europe and America so that they didn't appear ludicrous shot from a twelve-foot distance. His subjects were among the least tractable persons to instruction in the performing arts and were generally infected with decorative sensibilities. That Mishkin was able to satisfy his sitters and adjust to the increasingly less ornamental aesthetic of modern photography was a testament to his tact and flexibility."
