Manuscript Letter from a Gold Miner to His Brother Back Home in New York State

18555504Live Oak City Ca: January 27 1855. Still very good. 4pp. on a bifolium. Previously folded with manuscript docketing on lower half of second leaf verso. Minor wear along old folds with a couple of short separations. Minor soiling and dampstaining somewhat heavier to addressed area. A detailed mid-1850s California Gold Rush letter from Elias Hunt Jr. to his brother in the tiny of Poolville New York southeast of Hamilton. Hunt was camped in Live Oak north of Yuba City when he wrote this letter home on January 27th 1855. He tells his brother that he has good claims but that a lack of rain has not allowed him to work them: "It is hard for a man to get along. I am stopping here in hopes there will be some rain soon so that I can work my claims. I have some very good ones 2 only 200 feet square each. I could make some money if I had water. I have been offered $500 dollars for them but I refused it -- I think I can make an ounce per day; I know that I can make ten dollars for I have done that before." There is talk of irrigating the area but Hunt is not sure that it will be finished before he wants to return east: "There is a ditch coming in here to suply sic the place with water but it will not be completed until Spring some time in April & I should like to come home in June. I shall stay until there is water in the ditch then I can wash a part of my claims & sell the rest to a good advantage for they are situated immediately on the line of the ditch." Continuing upon his plans to return he writes: "I have had a very good offer to come home across the plains by a man in Sacramento. He is from Utica; his name is Hamilton. He is going to cross with four hundred Spanish horses or mares. He has offered me good money to come with him as I have been over to Carson Valley this last season. It will take some sixty days to do it if I should get through with my claims by the time time that he gets ready to start. I think I shall come with him if the Indians are not to hosstille sic. They were very bad this last season; they got possession of one of Uncle Sam's forts." Hunt continues writing about local hunting prospects and family in New York before delivering a Crockett-esque farewell -- "Please give my respects to all may inquire for me & let the rest go to Hell for all that I care." A good letter from one of the less trafficked areas of the California Gold Rush. January 27 unknown

[TSUNODA KUNISADA I Or By UTAGAWA TOYOKUNI II]Biblio.com

JUNI KA GETSU NO UCHI: TWELVE MONTHS OF THE YEAR. Together With: SHIKI NO UCHI

44028501Edo n.d. ca 1830-40's. A group of 12 color woodblock print sheets: ca. 12.3 x 9 cm.;prints: ca.11.9 x 8.4 cm.all clean showing age excellent impression & registry no marks very nice examples in old album. AN OBSCURE SHUNGA ALBUM . . . EROTIC PRINTS FROM TWO SERIES MOST LIKELY THE ART WORK . . . OF EITHER KUNISADA I OR TOYOKUNI II . . . UNSIGNED AS USUAL . The book consists of pages from two series of Shunga erotic books:. As usual no Shunga erotica or Harubon erotic books were ever signed by the author as these were banned by the Shogunate. Nevertheless there was a proliferation of these 'contraband' books & prints printed through the Edo period 1604-1868 that were commonly distributed throughout Japan. . Three prints from JUNI KA GETSU NO UCHI TWELVE MONTHS OF THE YEAR and YON SHIKI NO UCHI THE FOUR SEASONS. The second to last print has no title. All of the above are clearly Edo period color prints. The second to the last print has no title but is clearly an Edo period item. The very last color print is a Meiji period work ca. 1870's. . We believe the two series originally consisted of 12 prints in all showing the erotic scenes of each of the twelve months. The same for the Four Seasons showing three prints for each of the four seasons. . Each print is clean more than likely from an accordion folded album or a usual printed book. All but 2 have the series title cartouche and a title cartouche indicating the season or month. The last two have no titles. . Each print is gently mounted to the book using typical Ace corners in white from the 1940-1950's period. . THE ARTISTS: Being unsigned by stylistic analysis and research we believe this book to be the artistic work of the two artistes cited below. . The book consist of the works of two famous woodblock print artists: of the period KUNISADA I & TOYOKUNI II. Because Kunisada I 1786-1864 was the star pupil of Toyokuni II since age 15 his works naturally are very similar to his master's style. In 1844 he took the name Toyokuni III therefore Kunisada I is the same person. He specialized in story books & portraits. He is well collected by world libraries & museums. See Roberts below. . Toyokuni II 1777-1835 may be the artist of one of the series. He also was a star pupil of Toyokuni I. He was a Ukiyo-e painter illustrator Bijin Ga pictures of B-beauties He is well collected by world libraries & museums. See Roberts below. . The last print clearly a Meiji 1968-1912 period work was again unsigned and unattributed. . EX-LIBRIS THOMAS K. TINDALE. Tindale was a famous author of the comprehensive book THE HANDMADE PAPERS OF JAPAN concerning Japanese Washi papers. The first fly leaf of this book has his embossed "Mon" or Japanese crest blind-stamped. See our book #360633 on our website. . This was among his collection which we acquired in the 1970's now being offered for the first time. . CONDITION: The book is in excellent condition it is an accordion folding album with brown silk cloth covers containing stiff Washi paper. . The front covers have a bit of old either worming or silverfish evidence of nibbled cloth in two places. It is minor and has been colored the same as the cloth so it is not a major issue with no damage to the interior pages. There is a small amount of loss to the cloth and the cover title slip is also a bit nibbled on the right edge again of no impact to the book or the prints. . The prints are clean polychrome woodblock printed in several colors with excellent impression & registry. Lovely miniature treasures. Each print is gently inserted in American "NewAce" white paper mounting corners. The prints can be easily removed from these corners. . There is one single print mounted to the right hand side of the book. The versos of the prints are clean the rectos fronts are also clean no damage marks or issues. The colors are vivid the red made from iron has nicely oxidized into a mellow brown-rust color indicating at least 100 years old. It takes 100 or more years for this color transition to happen this is a good sign of genuine Edo period examples. . Each print has excellent impression & registry indicating an early printing off the woodblocks printed in a high quality from expert printers/publishers again lacking any identifying seal as usual. . The last print Meiji period has been re-backed folded twice and old tear mended. . Please review the color photos posted to our website for more details. . THE ARTIST & BANNED BOOKS: . During the Edo period the Shogun banned books that were not inspected and or sanctioned. Erotic books were again contraband and never showed the true name of the artist nor publisher printers seals or logos. Therefore these Shunga Harubon are difficult to attribute any artist. The only way is an "educated guestimate" based on the artist's painting style. At best it is a close of an attribution as possible. Few are listed in Shibui or other bibliographies containing Harubon. . It our best estimate that these two books were the work of either Kunisada I and or Toyokuni II based on our over 55 years of tenure and experience. . Color photos are posted to our website. .
