Large 4to 308 x 240 mm. 12 leaves text comprising 3 printed titles each with a 6-page description of the items in the catalogue in German French and English and 45 engraved plates of which one folding containing 186 designs numbered 1-152 with an additional 34 numbered and lettered designs for "tea-ware" tea- and coffee-ware in the French and English descriptions. Paper watermarked with a fleur-de-lys and shield with capital letters L V G below Lubertus van Gerrevink. Some light scattered foxing and offsetting plate 20 with closed tear to top margin just entering plate area without loss folding plate 26 torn across and repaired. Modern retrospective calf gilt edges red-stained extremities very lightly rubbed. Provenance: contemporary notes in Portuguese on the blank verso of the last plate; Duncan Grant Warrand loosely inserted ex-libris; Martin Woolf Orskey bookseller 1925-2018 signature at end with purchase date 1972. A multi-lingual catalogue of pottery produced by Hartley Greens and Co. for the use of traveling salesmen. Founded circa 1756 at Hunslet south of Leeds the company gained a reputation for its elegant cream-colored earthenware in the classical style known as creamware a type of earthenware made from white Cornish clay combined with a translucent glaze to produce a characteristic pale cream color. Hartley Greens and Co. so dominated the market that their products came to be referred to as Leedsware or Leeds pottery. Although some of the pieces in this catalogue are for display or special use Leeds pottery was generally a more everyday pottery than that of Wedgewood their principal rival and hence its survival rate is low. The earlier pieces before around 1775 were furthermore unmarked making attribution uncertain thus rendering the firm's printed catalogues all the more important. The present catalogue was "one of the earliest pattern books published in England by pottery manufacturers for the use of their travellers with illustrations of all the articles produced by the firm" Solon. It shows the creamware as issued from the studios before jobbers and importers added colored glazes. Shown are terrines sauce boats salts jugs egg cups covered terrines and bowls cake plates cruet stands candlesticks urns tea services and a remarkable tulip vase among other useful objects of the table many with ornaments some in the characteristic openwork or perforated style. All 186 designs are numbered and identified in the accompanying plate lists. The variety is impressive. Copies of the Leeds catalogues were often cut up by jobbers who relied on the illustrations to transmit orders accurately rather than trusting to written descriptions of the forms. Their consequent rarity makes the publishing history of the catalogues difficult to unravel. The earliest catalogue appeared in 1783 with the text in English only and 41 plates. The Danish National Library has a copy with the text in English and French and the English title dated 1786. Another copy of the present 1794 edition is held by the V&A but it has only 41 plates. Meanwhile there are also copies of a 1794 edition at Yale and RISD with the English text only but with 71 plates. The plates were reissued in 1795 and 1814 or 1815 these undated issues are identified by the watermarked dates of the paper they are printed on. Most of the variously dated copies seem to be reissues of the same plates. Most of the variously dated copies seem to be reissues of the same plates. A comparison of this copy to the Winterthur copy from 1814 which is digitized shows that the same plates were used with the addition of an engraved oval label " Leeds Pottery" on each plate up to and including plate 38 a compotier from which emerges a large cross after which the designs diverge. The editions or issues after 1795 do not have the very useful text with gives the name function and size of each piece: "As the price lists and the general title had been printed independently from the plates and not in sufficient quality to accompany the sets of engravings these late copies are generally found without the title and the printed description of the objects. These price lists now very rare were printed in English French German and Spanish. As the prices were subject to constant revision prices are added with pen and ink" Solon. Our copy is unpriced. Altogether OCLC locates fewer than a dozen copies some incomplete of various issues or editions of the Leeds pottery catalogue. Cf. M.-L. Solon Ceramic Literature 1910 p. 196. unknown books

1870WRCAM55334Osage Mission Ks 1870. Hand-drawn and hand-painted watercolor sign on a 14 x 18 3/4-inch sheet of cardstock. Pencil sketch for the same sign on the verso. Small chips at lower corners some light soiling. Very good. A remarkable and very attractive handmade sign for D.B. Gregory's livery stable in Osage Mission Kansas. Undated the style of the sign suggests a date of the 1870s. The center of the sign shows a lovely illustration in profile of a horse pulling a single-rider four-wheeled carriage along a dirt road. The text above the illustration reads "D.B. Gregory & Co." and below: "Livery & Sale Stables / Best Stock / Horse & Buggies / Main Bet. County & Neosho Strs. / Osage Mission Kan." The lettering is in black with blue and purple shadowing and "Osage Mission Kan." is drawn in a very ornate style. The entire sign is decorated with purple watercolor ornamentation. On the verso is a pencil sketch of the horse and the lower half of the carriage likely a preliminary sketch for the finished illustration. <br> <br> David B. Gregory born in 1846 in Iowa established his livery business with his brother in Osage Mission now St. Paul Neosho County Kansas by the early 1870s. An advertisement in the March 23 1873 issue of the OSAGE MISSION TRANSCRIPT describes Gregory's livery as having a "fine and well selected stock of horses and carriages.the best matched teams for style and speed in the city. Saddle horses for ladies and gents a specialty that defy competition." Settlers came to the region around Osage Mission in the 1840s following the founding of nearby Fort Scott in 1842. Osage Mission itself was founded in 1847 by Father John Schoenmakers as a mission to local Indian tribes and then grew into a town in its own right serving as a trading post and gateway for commerce and westward exploration. By the late 1860s it had grown to nearly 900 people with a hotel boarding house saloon stables general store hardware store and blacksmith. <br> <br> A rare significant and informative survival from the American frontier. unknown books

184336988London: Printed by T.R. Harrison 1843. Folio. 19 1 blank pp. New stitching light rubberstamp in upper blank portion of title page else Very Good.<br/><br/> England used her mighty naval power in a massive effort to stamp out the International Slave Trade. The major roadblock to a Treaty with the United States was English board-and-search tactics reminiscent of the objectionable practice that had helped to bring on the War of 1812. England claimed the right to board and search any vessel suspected of carrying on the Trade. The Earl of Aberdeen reports to Lord Ashburton on the "clamour about the right of search liberty of the seas &c." which "has already created so much excitement in the United States." Secretary of State Daniel Webster and his British counterpart settled the dispute in the Webster-Ashburton Treaty which also resolved the question of Maine's boundary with Canada.<br/> This publication treats exclusively the issues involved in the Slave Trade. The Correspondence describes "the nature of the stations or baracoons in which Slaves are collected on shore to be sold to the traders"; the areas of West Africa where the trade occurs; and the tactics of the ships which convey the slaves.<br/>OCLC 1007185044 2- Lib.
