Printed title in blue and red within an embossed gilt ornamental frame one printed "Notice" from the publisher dated June 1842 49 specimens of embossed cards many tinted some printed all mounted to stiff card stock; and 7 sheets of "Embossed Specimens of Printed Billets" sewn to a stiff printed card. Oblong 4to. Christian Gobrecht's Copy. With a very interesting presentation note from a previous Philadelphia owner Alfred Darrach dated 1928 affixed to the front pastedown identifying the original owner his grandfather as Christian Gobrecht 1785-1844 artist engraver embosser inventor engraver to the U.S. Mint and from 1840-1844 the 4th United States Engraver of the Mint where he was responsible for the creation of several new models and designs including the famous Seated Liberty design which appeared on a variety of American coins from 1836 through 1890. <br/>Gobrecht designed many notable medals coins and dies during his career but he also "invented a speaking doll and later a camera lucida. He also produced engravings for calico printers and dies for bookbinders. He engraved the brass dies for embossing the Morocco covers of the Boston Token from 1831 - 1836 as well as the eagle cover of the Philadelphia Token. Among the medals he engraved were the Charles Willson Peale medal the Franklin Institute medal etc ." - DAB.<br/>A remarkable specimen album in and of itself all the more so for having belonged to one of America's most important engravers. We cannot say for sure but it is entirely likely that if Gobrecht himself did not design many of the dies for this embosser he may have used the album for his own work and possibly removed the cards which are no longer present.

This was continued for a year or more when the company entered largely into the manufacture of medium priced furniture for the bedroom. Later the immense and modern plant on Godfrey avenue was erected and the name was changed to the Luce Furniture Company. The factory since has been increased by approximately one-third its original floor space and the company has been generally known as one of the largest manufacturers of exclusive bedroom and dining room furniture in the world."

Catalogue: 8-3/4" x 4-3/4". Representative specimen: 1-1/2" x 3-1/4" <br/><br/>"A visiting card also known as a calling card is a small card used for social purposes. Before the 18th century visitors making social calls left handwritten notes at the home of friends who were not at home. By the 1760s the upper classes in France and Italy were leaving printed visiting cards decorated with images on one side and a blank space for hand-writing a note on the other. The style quickly spread across Europe and to the United States. As printing technology improved elaborate color designs became increasingly popular. However by the late 1800s simpler styles became more common. <br /> <br />By the 19th century men and women needed personalized calling or visiting cards to maintain their social status or to move up in society. These small cards about the size of a modern-day business card usually featured the name of the owner and sometimes an address. Calling cards were left at homes sent to individuals or exchanged in person for various social purposes." <br /> <br />This an uncommon sample book of these "visiting cards" from which we can see that the firm made good use of the chromolithographic art. hardcover books
