28182A valuable reference collection of images and articles that shaped perceptions of Australia to the wider world in the 19th century. This is a collection of over 800 woodcut illustrations and articles from the 19th century from the Illustrated London News The Graphic and The Illustrated Times & other less successful periodicals. The images of the ILN and Graphic are a comprehensive and systematic collection of Australian related images and articles from 1842 ILN and 1870 Graphic through the end of 1899. This collection was started in London in the late 1970s. It was our intention to create a comprehensive reference of every woodcut image of Australian interest in the two major British periodicals from their start date to 1900. We were living in North London not too far from Omniphil Limited a company based in Chesham Bucks. They were the preeminent dealers in woodcut images from British periodicals in the 1970s and 80s. We visited their premises repeatedly and sat and turned the pages of every single volume of their reference set noting the images related to Australia and purchasing a copy of those images. Another component of the collection is an assemblage of Australian images from lesser-known periodicals such as the Illustrated Times the Pictorial Times The Illustrated News of the World Gleason's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion Harper's Weekly Canadian Illustrated News and a few singletons from the Illustrated Family Paper l'Opinion Publique and the Australasian Sketcher. <br /> <br /> An important component of this collection is the associated Excel listing of the prints & text. These are indexed by year month & day image title print size associated text and folder number. <br /> <br /> The total collection is housed in nine A3 folders with fixed sleeves. Early years have 2 sheets per sleeve; later years are sometimes grouped together to fit into the available room in the album. The folders are approx. 12 ½" x 17" x 1". They were manufactured in England by Rexel Nyrex with the following label in the back inside cover "Rexel / Nyrex / PFV / A3 / 24 Made in Gt. Britain." The company still manufactures plastic products. We have not been able to ascertain if these are archival but the prints have been in the folders for at least 43 years and there has been no degradation. <br /> <br /> The only exception to the completeness of the collection is ship prints which were quite expensive at the time we assembled the collection. <br /> <br /> The collection is organized in three parts: <br /> Part I - The Illustrated London News 1842-1899; Part II - The Graphic 1870-1899; Part III - The Illustrated Times the Pictorial Times and other British & North American periodicals 1845-1883.<br /> <br /> Combined these original woodblock prints and articles are a valuable reference collection that shaped perceptions of Australia to the wider world in the 19th century a collection which would now be all but impossible to assemble. <br /> <br /> Part I<br /> Australian images from The Illustrated London News British periodical from its start in 1842 thru 1899. A comprehensive collection of Australian related images & articles from this groundbreaking periodical - the world's first illustrated weekly news magazine; the first periodical to employ special war correspondents and illustrators; the first to publish color supplements. The Australian material begins in the first publication on May 14 1842 and runs through the last article in the century in June 1899 and has approximately 467 images and 29 substantial articles. <br /> <br /> Australia is mentioned in the text of the first issue with an article "Sheep Farming in Australia" on p.15 about 4 column inches from the Inverness Courier. On the verso is an amusing illustration of a publicity stunt of the publishers. The founder Herbert Ingram paid hundreds of men to carry large sign boards in the streets reading "The Illustrated London News 30 Engravings Price 6D." The highly exaggerated drawing shows the sign bearers stretching as far as the eye can see on London footpaths. The caption reads "The 'Illustrated London News' Published Every Saturday. Thirty Engravings. Price Sixpence. The above engraving represents the public announcement of this paper on Friday last. Two hundred men paraded the streets of London to proclaim the advent of this important publication." Below the rule is printed "London: Printed by R. Palmer at the Office of Palmer & Clayton 10 Crane-court; and published by J. Clayton at 320 Strand. - Saturday May 14 1842." The first image of an Australian subject is in the December 23 1843 issue "New Government House Sydney" with text. The revenue stamp appears at the bottom left of the page. The discovery of gold in Australia is announced in a long article on the cover on Sept. 6 1851 entitled "Another El Dorado" in an article 15 column inches long. The last image is from June 1899 the Australian cricketeers in London- "The Australian Cricket Team / The Team up-river: leaving Boulter's Lock / The Test match at Lords Between England and Australia: Trumper and Hill at the Wickets". <br /> <br /> The ILN collection is housed in six A3 folders with fixed sleeves. Early years have 2 sheets per sleeve; later years are sometimes grouped together to fit into the available room in the album.<br /> <br /> Folder 1 - 1842-1852; 68 images & 12 articles<br /> Folder 2 - 1852-1854; 70 images & 13 articles<br /> Folder 3 - 1855-1861; 50 images & 1 article<br /> Folder 4 - 1862-1864; 55 images & 1 article<br /> Folder 5 - 1865-1884; 90 images & 2 articles<br /> Folder 6 - 1886-1899; 135 images<br /> <br /> Although Gale subscription service has a digitized resource titled the "Illustrated London News Historical Archive 1842-2003" this collection is invaluable as it is composed of the actual period woodblock prints and articles accessible in six A 3 folders. <br /> <br /> Part II<br /> Australian images from The Graphic British periodical from its start in 1869 thru 1899. Australian related images from The Graphic the British weekly illustrated newspaper first published on 4 Dec 1869 which was set up as a rival to the Illustrated London News. <br /> <br /> The Australian images begin in March 1870 and runs through 1899 approximately 242 images. There are 13 double page images 2 full weekly issues for the Sydney & Melbourne Exhibitions with the continuing supplements; 1 color Christmas issue; 74 full page and 39 half page illustrations. Highlights include images of bush and settlers' lives Tichborne case cricket Victorian gold the Kelly gang black trackers wool shipping ostriches a shearing dispute. <br /> <br /> The first Australian related image in The Graphic was published on the cover of the March 12th 1870 edition "Picnic in Australia To the Officers of the Flying Squadron." The last image for the 19th century is dated July 1899. The Graphic is housed in two folders are A3 approx. 12 ½" x 17" x 1". <br /> <br /> Part III<br /> Australian images from The Illustrated Times the Pictorial Times and other British periodicals as well as North American periodicals including Gleason's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion Harper's Weekly and others. London; New York; Boston; Canada: Various publishers 1845-1883. A collection of some of the scarcer woodcut images of Australian related images from various shorter-lived illustrated periodicals published in England and North America. These include The Pictorial Times The Illustrated Times The Illustrated News of the World Gleason's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion Harper's Weekly Canadian Illustrated News and a few singletons from the Illustrated Family Paper l'Opinion Publique and the Australasian Sketcher. These are scarcer publications than the market-dominating Illustrated London News & The Graphic. The collection starts in March 1870 and runs through 1899 approximately 107 images. <br /> <br /> Of particular interest is a series in the Illustrated Times entitled "England Versus Australia" illustrated by Florence Claxton. Claxton was an English artist who spent part of her adolescence in Sydney NSW in the 1850s. Throughout 1863 and early 1864 Miss Claxton drew imagined comparisons between the two environments not uniformly biased towards either country. In the first "Daughters Here" has a group of gentlewomen sitting in a lovely drawing room making lace playing piano or gazing in the mirror. "Sons There" shows the men doing the laundry mending and cooking. "Governesses Here" shows a gaggle of governesses seemingly subject to the whims of a butler; "Want of Governesses There" shows a home with the mother distraught the children causing absolute pandemonium & the father sitting and reading the paper. In another "Needlewomen Here" the seamstresses work themselves to exhaustion in a dark room with one light; "A Modiste There" shows a prosperous woman with many customers. <br /> <br /> We did not have access to a reference set for these smaller publications so these images are an assemblage not a comprehensive and consistent collection. <br /> <br /> The Pictorial Times. 1843-1848 Opened by Henry Vizetelly his brother and Andrew Spottiswoode. Eventually it was purchased by Ingram owner of the ILN and merged with The Lady's Newspaper. Unfortunately this newspaper did not date their issues but sometimes dates are to be found in text.<br /> <br /> The Illustrated Times. 1855-1862. A rival to the ILN edited by Henry Vizetelly who had left the ILN to open it. Vizetelly campaigned in the 1850s for the repeal of the Stamp Act. Its eventual repeal was a great boon allowing the new paper to be published at the low price of two pence.<br /> <br /> The Illustrated News of the World 1858-1864. This was published by John Tallis famed for his atlases with maps adorned with views. According to OCLC: 7091980 It started in Feb. 1858 and ceased in Aug. 1864<br /> .<br /> Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion was a 19th-century illustrated periodical published in Boston Massachusetts. The magazine was founded by Frederick Gleason in 1851. According to OCLC: 10261386 it ran from 1851 - 1854. The publication name was changed to Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion in 1855 after managing editor Maturin Murray Ballou bought out the interest of Gleason. Unfortunately this newspaper did not date their issues but sometimes dates are to be found in text.<br /> <br /> Harper's Weekly A Journal of Civilization was an American political magazine based in New York City. Published by Harper & Brothers from 1857 until 1916 it featured foreign and domestic news fiction essays on many subjects and humor alongside illustrations. It carried extensive coverage of the American Civil War including many illustrations of events from the war. During its most influential period it was the forum of the political cartoonist Thomas Nast. <br /> <br /> This collection is housed in one A3 folder approx. 12 ½ x 17" x 1" with fixed sleeves. The prints & text are indexed by newspaper and thence by year month & day image title print size & associated text including some artists and folder number. <br /> <br /> A collection of primary source documents revealing the perceptions and attitudes towards Australia in the 19th century. hardcover

1829List3693Philadelphia 1829. Folio 2 pp. Tear to title page some chips to margins with loss good condition overall. An early Philadelphia theatrical music imprint by I. T. Norton credited on the sheet as “I. T. Norton R.A.M. Composer & Director of the Music to the Chestnut St. Theatre.†Norton served as musical director at the Second Chestnut Street Theatre during the late 1820s a period when the house mounted a mixture of melodrama burletta opera excerpts and popular entertainments requiring resident musical supervision and arrangement. Theatre directors of music routinely composed incidental numbers glees and topical songs for stage performance and subsequent publication bridging the repertory of live performance and domestic music-making.<br /> <br /> Mister Punchinello! draws upon the well-known Punch and Judy puppet tradition. The text is lyrically straightforward built around the repeated refrain “Oh mamma I must be married to Mister Punchinello†suggesting a number intended for accessible vocal delivery rather than elaborate dramatic structure. The R.A.M. designation appended to Norton’s name—presented without elaboration on the imprint—appears as a professional credential typical of early nineteenth-century music publishing though he very well may have never attended the Royal Academy of Music.<br /> <br /> A representative survival from the intersection of Philadelphia theatre culture and early American sheet music production. OCLC locates about a dozen copies across multiple entries. unknown
1899219046New York.: Harper's Weekly. July 11899. Three photographic prints each approx 11 x 20 cms and three black and white engravings together 33.5 x 20.4 cms all captioned printed on two conjoined newspaper leaves pp 645-648 41 x 28.5 cms the associated articles: "Samoa in War-Time" in full with a cameo portrait of the Chief Justice of Samoa and "The Philippine Revolt." partial with a small sketch map of Malolos printed on the verso central fold a few small edge tears and faint toning but in good condition. Malcolm Ross the author and photographer of "Samoa in War-time" was a New Zealand freelance journalist and war correspondent for the New Zealand press as well as the Melbourne Age. In 1899 he spent three months in Samoa covering the clashes for the leadership of the colony that followed the death of Malietoa Laupepa the incumbent chief at the time. <br>Unusual late 19th Century coverage of Samoa especially by a New Zealand photojournalist. <br> <br>The second spread with the incomplete accompanying article by Joh F. Bass a "Special Correspondent of "Harper's Weekly" on "The Philippine Revolt" has an unsurprising pro-American tone: the armed conflict between the First Philippine Republic and the United States 1899-1902 was clearly viewed by the United States as an insurrection rather than as a continuation of the struggle for independence by Filipino nationalists that had begun in 1896 with the Philippine Revolution. .

"James Grashow was born in Brooklyn in 1942 and has been creating works that address themes of man nature and mortality since the 1960's" "The scale of his work ranges from large environmental installations through which the viewer traverses to the delicate and contained world of his houseplants where homes and buildings replace flowers and buds in intricately constructed bouquets." - The artist's website <br /> <br /> -Judith Jaidinger b. 1941. One of the two female artists represented here. Born in Chicago Illinois. "Judith Jaidinger's obsession with cutting began in her 1960s student days at the School of the Art Institute and is linked to her equally long frankly sensuous relationship with boxwood. She was introduced to both in an engraving class taught by British-born print-master Adrian Troy. "At the same time printing industry technology had moved on supplanting woodblock engravings with line drawings and photography. 'A dying art' Jaidinger says. It was also a seriously slumping industry. But in the 1960s in Chicago hub of an enormous catalog business there were still a few commercial wood-engraving establishments turning out the precise detailed images more typical of the previous century. One of them Sander Wood Engraving on Dearborn Street was where Professor Troy a committed modernist sent his students to buy the best material: rare English-grown boxwood blocks. "'He warned us' Jaidinger recalls 'If you go to Sander and buy your wood from them don't look at what those engravers are doing. I don't want you to be influenced by them.' "That made it irresistible." - Reader- Chicago's alternative nonprofit newsroom <br /> <br /> -Stefan Martin 1936-1994. Born in Elgin Illinois and a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago.

1550ABC_49514Italy 1550. 17th-century gold-tooled brown calf sewn on 6 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine a red morocco title label on the spine with the title "Novissima urbis Romae descriptio" lettered in gold gold-tooled board edges. Large oblong folio ca. 59 x 42.3 cm. With 76 full-page engravings and 12 full-page etchings. Remarkable album with 77 beautiful examples of 16th-century Italian cartography all in very fine dark impressions. The collection includes plans of important Italian towns such as Rome Venice Genoa Naples Milan Florence Palermo Siena Bologna and Pisa as well as detailed views of individual buildings and monuments in Rome. They are engraved by several cartographers from the school of Antonio Lafreri 1512-1577 primarily Claudio Duchetti d. 1585 Matteo Florimi d. 1613 and Lafreri himself. Florimi's works are among the rarest of the Lafreri school map makers especially his Siena imprints of which several have here been included.In the middle of the 16th century Italy was the centre of map production and distribution in Europe. This industry primarily took place in Venice and Rome. The most notable of the publishers in Rome was Lafreri. His most important and most popular work is the Speculum Romanae magnificentiae a collection of plans an views of Rome's monuments; no two copies of the Speculum are the same. The present collection contains more than thirty plates from the Speculum. When Lafreri died his nephew Claudio Duchetti inherited the company. He continued to produce the Speculum plates but often made small adjustments and signed his own name at the bottom. Most of the Speculum plates in the present album are by Duchetti. After his death the copperplates were sold to other publishers such as Giovanni Orlandi before 1590-after 1640 who reissued them. The majority of the plates in the present album were printed by Orlandi in 1602.The album further contains 32 engraved city plans mostly of Italian towns although a few foreign cities are also included; one of the rarest is the view of Moscow which is also included here. The collection ends with a incomplete series of 11 etchings of landscapes and biblical scenes.A list of contents is available upon request.With the bookplate of Louis Routy de Charodon seigneur de Grésigny and Charodon 1710-1794 on the front pastedown and remnants of another bookplate above.

19529699New York: Hammer Creek Press 1952. Original Wrappers. Very Good binding. 16mo. 8 pp. illus. Limited edition number of copies unknown. As issued sewn in printed wrappers. Very light toning to the extremities and covers; nevertheless a very nice copy. Bookplate of noted collector Norman Sondheim on the verso of the front wrappers. <br /> <br /> Comprises title page/announcement; two engravings one of the Hell-Box Press and the second the Hammer Creek Press; and a colophon. The Hell-Box Press was one of Fass's earlier printing endeavors. Hammer Creek Press began when in 1950 when Fass purchased from Valenti Angelo a small iron press previously owned by Bruce Rogers who had sold it to Angelo the year before. It was on this press of significant provenance that the bulk of the Hammer Creek Press editions were printed few of which have stated limitations. With only 4 institutions reporting ownership according to OCLC it is difficult to imagine this title was produced in an edition of more than a few dozen copies if that.

19569700New York: Hammer Creek Press 1956. Original Wrappers. Near Fine binding. 12mo. 24 4 blank1 pp. illus. Limited edition to approximately 100 copies. As issued in marbled paper wrappers of stiff covers with printed paper title label on the front cover. Quite a nice copy with little in the way of shelf-rubbing to the cover; Reynolds Stone-designed bookplate of noted collector Norman Sondheim inside the front cover. <br /> <br /> Short introduction by Fass about the history and aim of the press. Includes 43 described books announcements and ephemera from the press. As this present work is the 43rd item in Fass's list and only 35th in Cohen's checklist there are apparently inclusions here not noted in Cohen. Several examples of pressmarks by DePol Angelo and Carnes. Two by Valenti Angelo are done in multiple colors with gilding. <br /> <br /> The Hammer Creek Press began when in 1950 when Fass purchased from Valenti Angelo a small Hughes & Kimber cast iron press previously owned by Bruce Rogers who had sold it to Angelo the year before. It was on this press of significant provenance that the bulk of the Hammer Creek Press editions were printed including this present book. Opening this work is an engraving by John DePol of the storied press with a page of "Data" by Fass. One of the mores substantial works issued by the Press as well as one of the more uncommon titles despite the larger-than-usual limitation. As more than 30 institutions are reporting ownership according to OCLC it means this is increasingly rare in commerce. A lovely example of Fass's work. Cohen 35. Hammer Creek Press unknown
