1870List1032Jefferson City: S. Winans Photographer 1870. Carte-de-visite photographs measuring 3 ¾ x 2 ¼ on slightly larger mounts versos with the decorative stamp of S. Winans photographer 126 High St. Jefferson City. Some fading to images else about fine quite well preserved near fine overall. Near Fine. The Lincoln Institute of Jefferson City Missouri had its roots in the educational programs set up for soldiers of the 62nd Colored Regiment during the Civil War most of whom were from Missouri. After the war with $6000 raised from donations a group led by the white abolitionist officer Richard Foster set up the Lincoln Institute in Jefferson City. The student body was entirely African-american with the faculty a mix of African-American and white. The state of Missouri provided additional funding. <br /> <br /> Collected here are four portraits of students of the institute likely taken in the founding decade before the carte-de-visite format was replaced by the cabinet card. The photographer S. Winans took the photographs likely in his Jefferson City gallery as they are all staged in a formal portrait gallery. Winans also took a well known portrait of David W. Wallace the father of Bess Wallace Truman. Quite uncommon - we find no other record of these images elsewhere. S. Winans, Photographer unknown books
18306526London 1830. Aquatints coloured by hand. A fine complete series of four anonymous prints of hunting scenes possibly after the Alkens.<br/> <br/>The style and naming of these prints suggests an Alken origin for the series. Siltzer records a number of series by the Alken family in which the first plate is titled "Unkennelling." This title appears to be unique to them and supports the supposition that the present series are after the Alkens. Henry Thomas Alken was born into what became an artistic dynasty. He studied under the miniature painter J. T. Barber and exhibited his first picture a miniature portrait at the Royal Academy when he was sixteen. From about 1816 onwards he "produced an unending stream of paintings drawings and engravings of every type of field and other sporting activity. He is best remembered for his hunting prints many of which he engraved himself until the late 1830s.To many sporting art is "Alken" and to describe his work or ability is quite unnecessary." Charles Lane British Racing Prints pp. 75-76<br/> <br/>Cf. Siltzer pp.57-76. unknown books

185528465Susquehanna Depot 1855. Pencil pen and ink. Signed in ink: "Theodore Krausch. Susquehana sic Depot. N.Y. and Erie Railroad. October 13 1855." A very handsome drawing of a locomotive by a prominent inventor and engineer.<br/> <br/>Theodore Krausch dates unknown was employed by what was then known as the New York and Erie Railroad at Susquehanna Depot where railway cars and locomotives were designed built and repaired. The town in northeastern Pennsylvania just below the New York border and Binghamton came into existence with the coming of the railroad. Krausch who obtained several patents during his life one for innovations in railway chair design also received a Silver Medal from the American Institute of the City of New York for a drawing of a locomotive no doubt similar to this one. During the 1850s when railway lines and companies were spreading out across the country each railroad customized its engines and cars to its specific needs. There was a large degree of standardization and this Krausch drawing is a perfect rendition of the 4-4-0 wheel arrangement and overall design that was used almost universally in 19th century America. unknown books
