Italianate patterned blue softcovers embossed silver blocked lettering slight shelfwear very slight rubbing still VG bright copy. First edition of this very scarce Herreshoff Yacht sales catalogue issued by the Company after the win by â€œMikeâ€ Vanderbiltâ€™s 1884-1970 yacht Enterprise which shut down Liptonâ€™s last Americaâ€™s Cup hopes in 1930. This catalogue features a partial list of Herreshoff clients which reads as a whoâ€™s who of the yachting World at the opening of the Great Depression and the high point for the famed boatbuilding company. The Herreshoff Manufacturing Company began operation in 1878 after John Brown Herreshoff -- a blind boatbuilder since 1863 and his younger brother Nathanael Greene Herreshoff formed an amazingly successful partnership. They created a flourishing business of producing luxury steamboats for the wealthy steamships for the U.S. Navy and outstanding racing and cruising vessels. The company was amazingly successful until the 1920s largely relying on word-of-mouth and the invaluable prestige of several successful Americaâ€™s Cup winners. In 1924 the business was sold to Haffenreffer whose family owned the Narragansett Brewing Company. This beautifully illustrated and appointed catalogue includes many photos of the Americaâ€™s Cup yacht winners along with a number of different size sailing yachts and motor ships including the cruisers Vara and Ara.

Group of Plans and Descriptions for a Library and Recreational Building at Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis

18905897St. Louis 1890. About very good. Four items including two blueprint designs measuring approximately 27 x 18 and 23 x 12.5 inches respectively. Folded bradded at upper left corner. One-inch closed tear along fold from lower edge of larger blueprint. Otherwise minor wear toning and dust soiling. An interesting group of documents that together comprise a plan and contract for the construction in 1890 of a library addition to the canteen building at Jefferson Barracks Missouri. Jefferson Barracks south of St. Louis near the town of Lemay is the oldest operating military installation west of the Mississippi River established by William Clark in 1826. The station holds a distinguished history as a camp and training ground in several American conflicts and in the present day it is a station for the Army and Air National Guard.<br /> <br /> Present here are a contract form completed in manuscript; printed specifications regarding materials and labor; and two blueprint plans for the proposed library project. The contract agreed between the station Quartermaster Captain H.B. Osgood and the architect William Gaffney on July 30 1890 states that "The said party of the second part shall enter upon said work immediately carry it on as expeditiously as possible and complete the same within sixty 60 working days" in exchange for the sum of $1548. A printed leaflet distributed prior to potential bidders on the project provides "Specifications of Labor and Material" such as the requirements for materials and expectation of time frame as well as the expectation that everything be supplied by the contractor. Of greatest interest are the two blueprints the smaller of which shows a front elevation of the canteen building with the proposed addition on the left. The larger provides a detailed floor plan of the building. unknown

Photo Album Documenting an Irish Tourist's Trip to New York City in 1886

1886List2857Cobh Ireland; New York City Jersey City Pennsylvania and Niagara Falls 1886. Single photo album of thirty-two 9 ½ x 11 inch pages with twenty-nine photographs and four hand-drawn illustrations. Photographs range from 4 ¼ x 7 inch to 7 x 9 inch. Photographs mostly with fine contrast and in near fine to fine condition; illustrations in fine condition; some chipping at the corners of pages; binding of album broken. Overall near fine. Offered here is an album of photographs belonging to an Irish tourist who visited New York City from April to June 1886 several years before the construction of the city’s first skyscraper the Tower Building. The photographs are of a nearly unrecognizable city – one shows cows grazing in an open field under an elevated rail line at 110th street in Harlem. Three show various skylines from the recently completed Brooklyn Bridge including a shot of lower Manhattan from one of the bridge’s towers. Six others are also of lower Manhattan with one of the widely unpopular City Hall Post Office and Courthouse which was finished in 1880 and demolished in 1939. Eight show midtown architecture including the Albemarle Hotel 1860–1915 Hoffman House 1864–1915 Windsor Hotel 1873–1899 and Vanderbilt House 1883–1926. A number of shots show what transit was like at the time; especially the elevated railway lines but also a ferry in the Hudson River Grand Central Depot and the Pennsylvania Railroad’s depot in Jersey City bridge over the Susquehanna River and train going around the Horseshoe Curve in Altoona. The illustrations are of what is likely a family crest American flag designs and the flag of the White Star Line a steamer service which the tourist likely took from Cobh to New York and back. Overall an uncommon and visually compelling record of a tourist trip to New York City in an era preceding larger tourism booms. unknown

An exceptional album with fine views of Sevilla Granada Cordoba San Sebastian and many more. The photographer Jean Laurent was born in France but opened a photo studio in Madrid in 1856. In 1858 the Spanish government commissioned him to photograph the construction of the railroad line from Madrid to Alicante. The results were published and exhibited in many places which brought him considerable success. From 1861-68 Laurent held the title of "Fotógrafo de S. M. la Reina" and produced photos of members of the Spanish royal family. His photo studio in Madrid became one of the best-known from his time which allowed him to open gallery in Paris where he exhibited and sold premium-quality prints from his work in Spain. Although he was interested in industrialisation and intended to convey the image of a modern and economically flourishing country his photographs of the more picturesque aspects of Spain became more popular. The present album contains 34 views of Western Islamic architectural structures and a large 4-part folding panorama of the Alhambra and Granada. Furthermore it contains two examples of photographs on leptographic paper a collodio-chloride printing paper which was sold ready to use. Its manufacture was perfected by Laurent in collaboration with Martínez-Sánchez in 1866.With some slight signs of wear around the spine and the corners of the boards the panorama views are mounted on grey cloth which is somewhat foxed not affecting the actual photograph the album leaves are very slightly browned. Overall in very good condition.l Hannavy Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography II 829/830. hardcover
