[California - Gold Rush Period - Mercantile History] Alsop and CompanyBiblio.com

Shipping Manifest for the Barque Equator Documenting Cargo on a Voyage Around Cape Horn 1850-1851

1850List2418Callao: Alsop and Company 1850. Folded ship manifest measuring 15 ¼ x 12 ½ inches. Fine condition with slight normal wear. A very scarce Gold Rush period shipping manifest for the Barque Equator captained by William Weir listing the passengers and cargo for a voyage to San Francisco in December of 1850 with notations showing the vessel’s arrival in San Francisco in May of 1851. Alsop & Co. was the work of Joseph Alsop the grandson of Continental Congress delegate John Alsop and his friend Henry Chauncey. Originally from Middletown Connecticut the pair established Alsop & Co. in New York City in 1824 and would eventually play a large role in the gold trade in California and trade extensively in South and Central America. Chauncey Alsop and others were among the partners in the trans-Panamanian railway that helped transform trans-continental trade in 1850. One of Alsop & Co.’s treasure boxes was aboard the S.S. Central America when it sank in 1857 carrying gold to the Eastern United States from Panama. The shipping manifest offered here lists the primary cargo as 195 tons of coal and also lists the names of fourteen passengers on the voyage. Imported coal - from Callao in this case - was essential to heat houses and run furnaces at factories including assay offices before the development of a local coal industry in California. We find only two instances of Gold Rush-era ship manifests - which were usually thrown away - surfacing in the trade or auction records this one and one other which sold for $3600 at PBA Galleries in 2014.

(CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH)Biblio.com

Scientific American Vol. 4; 1848.

184874990New York: Munn & Co. 1848-49. The entire fourth volume Nos. 1-52. Folio 11 x 15 inches. 419 pp with an index at the rear. Illustrated throughout. Each number is 8 pp. Full contemporary sheepskin with green morocco gilt lettering label. Leather a bit dry some scattered foxing and toning as to be expected. Overall a very good copy.Chiefly of interest for the many references to the Gold Rush in California. The first printed announcement of the famous discovery at Sutter's Mill was published in March of 1848 in Sam Brannan's San Francisco newspaper The Californian. The news was first announced in an East Coast newspaper the New York Herald on August 19th 1848. Issue No. 1 of Vol. 4 is dated September 23 1848 and we find an article about the Gold Rush on the second page. The header is Gold Gold and it gives an early report of about six months after the event â€œof the discovery of an immense bed of gold one hundred miles in extent on the American Fork and Feather riversâ€."The Golden Land" found in No. 13 states - "A short time ago the most flattering accounts were received in this city from California about the mountains of gold and the valleys flowing with silver. Some believed it was a joke while others believed it to be a â€˜hue and cryâ€™ for some speculative purpose and to the latter implication we must plead guilty. We believed that the accounts received here a short time ago about vessels being deserted by their crews and houses by their inhabitants who had proceeded to the El Dorado valley were all a hoax or something worse. But it seems after all that Madam Rumor sometimes tells true tales. The golden hills of California it seems are not imaginary elevations but bona fide treasure houses.â€In "Gold and Gold Washings" in No. 15 we read that the Gold Rush extends to both side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and as far south as the headwaters of the San Joaquin River; an area 100 miles wide and 400 miles long. There are numerous other articles about the gold rush gold mining equipment and many other aspects of the 49er Gold Rush. Munn & Co. hardcover

Russian art gazette - Ñ€ÑƒÑÑÐºÐ¸Ð¹ Ñ…ÑƒÐ´Ð¾Ð¶ÐµÑÑ‚Ð²ÐµÐ½Ð½Ñ‹Ð¹ Ð»Ð¸ÑÑ‚Ð¾Ðº

1856B6046St. Petersburg;: Vasily Timm c. 1856 . Title leaf slightly soiled; but overall texts and plates are clean and crisp and in very good condition; tears to leaves # 27 28 29 33 have been expertly repaired. A very attractive example in full contemporary binding. . Edition: First 1856 Edition. Binding: Contemporary quarter morocco over marbled boards; spine with six flat gilt ruled bands forming five blind compartments with gilt lettered title on two and gilt date on four. Notes: Text in Russian. The Russian art periodical publication or gazette of printed collections of lithograph scenes was a chronicle of currents of the life of Russia published by leave of the Royal Family and by the artist himself - painter and draftsman - Georg Wilhelm Timm also known as Vasily Fyodorovich Timm or Ð’Ð°ÑÐ¸Ð»Ð¸Ð¹ Ð¤Ñ‘Ð´Ð¾Ñ€Ð¾Ð²Ð¸Ñ‡ Ð¢Ð¸Ð¼Ð¼ 1820-1895 a Baltic-German painter lithographer and ceramic designer known for his genre and battle scenes; the period extending over 12 years from 1851 to 1862 in St. Petersburg. Having travelled extensively throughout Russia serving as a battle painter during the second phase of the Caucasian War he was chosen in 1852 to accompany the Tsar Nicholas I on a visit to Finland his main task continuing to faithfully share his impressions without criticism or analysis. Later he would make sketches of the Siege of Sevastopol at the height of the Crimean War of 1853-1856. In 1855 this earned him the title "Academician" conferred by the Imperial Academy. In 1860 the collection was compiled and an index of drawings prepared. The publication discontinued in 1862 due to the weakening condition of V.F. Timm's eyes. Scenes from Petersburg life portraits of popular figures reproductions from paintings cartoons etc accompanied by brief explanatory texts had been a great success with the public the complete series of having featured 432 illustrations with Timm referred to as the "Russian Gavarni" having primarily worked with lithography and woodcut engravings. Lithographs were printed in two tones along with a brief explanatory text authored by the Russian publicist and publisher N. I. Grech. and Timm's drawings executed by other artists with lithographs prepared in the workshop of A.E. MÃ¼nster. As of 2013 publications are estimated at 2-2.5 million rubels; in 2007 a reprint of the collection was made in St. Petersburg including three catalogs and three albums with 432 illustrations; publishers have tried to bring all illustrations as close as possible in color to the originals and leather bindings were chosen with covers gilt embossed. Size: oblong folio 528x352mm. Illustration: Illustrated with 19 full-page 16 half-page and 24 smaller lithographs; and one map. Volume: Text leaves and lithogra Pages: 53 text leaves including one map plus 35 large oblong lithographed leaves. Category: Book Russia; Book Plate Books General; Vasily Timm, hardcover

A LARGE GROUP OF ITEMS OF, OR RELATED TO, THEBiblio.com

RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM

1872ST17640-G121872-1921. 60 different editions in 61 volumes. Most items in their original publisher's bindings mostly cloth or wrappers and a few in limp suede; one in half morocco. Condition ranging from very good to very fine; many of the cloth items with light shelfwear rubbing to edges mild soiling fraying to head and tail of spine and minor condition issues internally light scattered foxing and browning a handful of items with more noticeable condition issues spine partially lost rubbed joints moderate browning etc. but on the whole an excellent group. Amassed over the course of many years by a passionate collector of the Rubaiyat this is a very substantial and wide-ranging group of 60 works that attest to the work's enduring popularity more than 150 years after Edward FitzGerald introduced it to the West. Son of a wealthy Irish landowner FitzGerald had enough money to pursue a rather desultory literary career as a "genteel gipsy" in Terhune's words before beginning to study languages in middle age. He started his translation of the quatrains "rubáiyát" in Persian attributed to "Umar Khayyam" in 1856; according to DNB about half of FitzGerald's final work paraphrases rather than directly translates portions of the 11th century poem while the rest is original verse inspired by Omar. "The result is generally seen as being in some ways an original English poem one that is much better known than Omar's poem is in Persian." DNB In Jewett's opinion it certainly earned FitzGerald "a prominent place among the immortals of English literature." In 1858 FitzGerald submitted 25 of the "less wicked" verses to "Fraser's Magazine" only to be rejected. He had 250 copies published anonymously at his own expense but had no luck selling them. Admitting defeat he gave 200 copies to Quaritch; these sold so poorly that they were relegated to the penny bin where Potter says they were discovered--and soon celebrated--by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Algernon Swinburne. Those copies that remained unsold when Quaritch moved to Piccadilly in 1860 were either lost or destroyed but by 1861 Rossetti and his Pre-Raphaelite brethren along with Celtic scholar Whitley Stokes were evangelizing for the work embracing the lush lyrical verse that would move English poetry away from Victorian orthodoxy and convention. According to Day by the end of the 19th century "a copy of the 'Rubaiyat' upon an Oxford table was a symbol of sophistication. Today . . . it remains the most popular single poem of the Victorian era." The present collection is especially strong in illustrated editions with more than 25 artists represented including Edmund Dulac Elihu Vedder Willy Pogany Adelaide Hanscom Gilbert James Edmund J. Sullivan Arthur Szyk René Bull and Abanindro Nath Tagore. Notable text editions in this group include a Third Edition of FitzGerald's translation; a First Published American Edition; and a signed and inscribed copy of Eben Francis Thompson's translation. There is also a small group of fine press printings including examples by the Gregynog Press Thomas Mosher and Elbert Hubbard. There are no duplicated editions in this collection and there are no trade paperbacks. A full list of the collection's contents is available upon request. unknown

It contains a number of recognizable MPs officials and Page Boys. Two of gentleman standing in the front row are John Herbert Turner who served as the 11th premier of BC from March 1895 to August 1898 and Charles Augustus Semlin who served as the 12th premier of BC from August 1898 until February 1900.

Photo w. some scratches and tiny stains card w. rubs and wear stains and a pin hole at one corner verso w. some notations in pencil. " After a year-long competition a 25 year old architect Francis Mawson Rattenbury was chosen in March 1892 to design B.C.'s new Parliament Buildings. Construction began in 1893 partly to try to boost a stagnant economy. Every effort was made to use local materials and resources - granite foundations from Nelson Island site facades from Haddington Island stone and local brick limestone and Douglas fir for the construction work. The total cost was not to exceed $600000. When the Buildings were completed four years later amid much controversy and argument the total cost came to $923882.30." leg dot bc dot ca. Blackie unknown
