19715613North Vietnam N.P. 1971 Une peinture de propagande originale à la gouache provenant de l'ancien Nord-Vietnam, datant de 1971. Le style est celui du réalisme socialiste pur, doctrine artistique officielle de Hanoï, fortement influencé par l'art de propagande soviétique et chinois de l'époque. Nous pensons que cette peinture était une ébauche destinée à une affiche de propagande (bien que nous n'ayons pas réussi à trouver l'affiche qui en a résulté). La scène côtière, avec un navire de guerre et des jonques, était particulièrement d'actualité en 1971, alors que les bombardements navals américains sur le nord étaient à leur apogée. Le titre, qui peut se lire « Gardez les cieux de la patrie » ou « Défendez les cieux de notre patrie », correspond exactement au type de message patriotique utilisé au Nord-Vietnam à cette époque. Les uniformes des soldats sont ceux de l'armée nord-vietnamienne, les pattes rouges ornées d'étoiles dorées étant notamment les insignes de grade de l'ANV. Les uvres de propagande originales de cette période sont rares. La peinture présente quelques dommages, notamment des déchirures fermées importantes, quelques traces d'usure sur une petite partie de la peinture et quelques petites zones de perte de papier (regardez à droite du soldat de droite). Il s'agit néanmoins d'une uvre attrayante qui pourrait être entièrement restaurée. Le papier a été légèrement collé sur un carton d'art européen (il y a déjà un certain temps) qui présente également des défauts, mais ceux-ci pourraient être éliminés. La peinture mesure 61 cm x 40 cm. Le carton de support mesure 67 cm x 46 cm.
19715613North Vietnam: N.P. 1971. An original gouache propaganda painting from North Vietnam as was from 1971. The style is pure socialist realism the official art doctrine of Hanoi strongly influenced by Soviet and Chinese propaganda art of the period. We suspect that this painting was a preparatory piece for a propaganda poster although we have been unable to find a poster that followed. The coastal scene with a warship and junks was particularly relevant in 1971 when US naval bombardment of the north was at its peak. The title which can be read as "Guard the Skies of the Homeland" or "Defend Our Homeland's Skies" us exactly the sort of patriotic messaging used in North Vietnam at this time. The soldier's uniforms are of the North Vietnamese army red tabs with gold stars in particular being NVA rank insignia. From the close-up detail of the ship carries a painted inscription that appears to read TrÆ°á»ng Sa; a reference to the Spratly Islands a matter of considerable strategic sensitivity at the time.During the war North Vietnam recognised China's claims to the islands but once they had won the whole country changed their mind and made their own claims. Original propaganda artwork from this period is scarce. The painting has some damage with some significant closed tears and some rubbing to a little of the paint and some small areas of paper loss Look to the right of the soldier on the right. Nevertheless it is an attractive piece and could be fully restored. The paper has been lightly tipped onto European backing art card quite some time ago and this also has defects but could be removed. The painting is 61cm x 40cm. The backing card is 67cm x 46cm.

1859423474Salt Lake City 1859. Unbound. Near Fine. A hand-colored sixth plate ambrotype portrait of a young man wearing what appears to be a battle shirt identified on the verso of the plate and in pencil on the paper lining behind the image as "Leivingston Moore. Salt Lake" and dated April 22nd 1859. Slight tarnish along perimeter of image; some tarnish on mat; lacking half of the leather covered case.<br /> <br /> According to Census records Livingston Moore was born in 1840 in Jamestown Missouri lived in St. Louis and finally died in Moran Missouri in 1911. Likely a Mormon Livingston Moore lived most of his life in Missouri which had a large Mormon population until The Missouri Mormon War took place in 1838 and forced more than 10000 Mormons to leave the state. Many settled near or in the city of Nauvoo Illinois. Moore's census records do not indicate why he was in Salt Lake City in 1859 but it is possible that he was sent there as a member of the Nauvoo Legion a militia employed by LDS leaders for protection of the community. Between May 1857 and July 1858 a confrontation between the Mormon settlers in the Utah Territory and the U.S. Federal Government took place referred to as the Utah War. This armed dispute stemmed from an attempt by President James Buchanan's administration to replace Brigham Young as governor of Utah Territory. Although the conflict was over by April 1859 it is conceivable that Moore may have been stationed in Salt Lake in case any additional uprisings occurred against the Mormons. unknown

1850List2416Great Britain 1850. Broadside measuring 9 ⅞ x 15 ⅜ inches. Some chipping and wear to edge ink number written in corner two small section of loss due to improper mounting very good overall. Coat of arms of the United Kingdom above printed text. Very Good. A scarce broadside relating to British postal rates across the Panama Route through the Chagres River which supplied mail to California and Oregon beginning in 1848 before eventually being replaced by the Overland route in 1860. The service was characterized by long delay times as steamships on either side of the isthmus were often not coordinated causing major delays in the delivery. Several different steamship companies operated privately some carrying express mail. The letters were transported by canoe or pack animal across the isthmus. Postmaster General Cave Johnson began establishing post offices in California in 1848. Johnson also oversaw the transition to the prepaid delivery system. The broadside here of which we find no other records does state that postage must be prepaid and that the route can be accessed by writing “via New York†on the letters. A scarce postal history item relating to the expansion of mail services to California. We find no other records of this institutionally or in the trade. unknown
