17883752This engraving of the lighthouse at Cape Henlopen is the first image of a lighthouse to appear in an American magazine. Indeed we believe this is one of the earliest American images of a lighthouse one can hope to obtain. The Cape Henlopen light was completed in 1767 and first lit in 1769. This view according to the caption was drawn in 1780. It was published in the February 1788 issue of <i>The Columbian Magazine</i>. Although the engraving plate is not signed the engraver was likely James Trenchard one of the proprietors of the <i>Magazine</i>. <br /><br />This wonderful early American image has survived longer than its subject -- the lighthouse depicted collapsed in 1926 due to erosion. <br /><b>References:</b> Lewis: <i>A Guide to Engravings in American Magazines 1741-1810</i>: p. 4.

1866231741866. Disabled veterans' care from the Civil War through the post World War I period documented through three periodicals and one pamphlet showing a clear shift from municipal and household relief toward organized rehabilitation vocational retraining supervised recreation and contested compensation. The 1866 Massachusetts pamphlet records state aid in the language of direct payment to disabled soldiers sailors and bereaved families while the two issues of Carry On issued for the Office of the Surgeon General and published by the American Red Cross define disability as a problem to be managed through reconstruction employability and social reentry. The 1921 issue of The American Legion Weekly then marks a later phase in which the promises of wartime rehabilitation met unresolved claims and public pressure from disabled veterans themselves.<br /> <br /> Archive of 4 printed items consisting of 2 issues of Carry On 1 issue of The American Legion Weekly and 1 Massachusetts state aid pamphlet.<br /> <br /> 1 An Act to Provide State Aid for Disabled Soldiers and Sailors and for the Families of the Slain in the Service of the United States. Boston: Wright & Potter State Printers 1866. Massachusetts state aid pamphlet setting out postwar support for disabled veterans and for families whose provider had died or contracted fatal sickness in service. Its language is administrative and specific establishing municipal payments and defining eligibility at the household level including support to qualifying families at four dollars per month per household.<br /> <br /> 2 Samuels Arthur H. managing ed. Carry On. Washington D.C.: Office of the Surgeon General U.S. Army published by the American Red Cross September 1918. Vol. 1 No. 3. Early wartime issue whose subtitle "A Magazine on the Reconstruction of Disabled Soldiers and Sailors" states its institutional purpose directly. Contents including "Invisible Wounds" "Seeing Is Hearing" "Labor Stands Ready" and "Guiding the Disabled to a New Job" show that military care had expanded beyond surgery and pension into a coordinated program linking medicine deaf education labor placement and psychological adjustment to civilian usefulness.<br /> <br /> 3 Samuels Arthur H. managing ed. Carry On. Washington D.C.: Office of the Surgeon General U.S. Army published by the American Red Cross July 1919. Vol. 1 No. 10. Postwar issue extending the same reconstruction model into peacetime reintegration with "The Creed of the Disabled Soldier" and articles on mental injury hospital recreation and reconstruction at Fort McHenry. This issue is the clearest statement in the group that disabled veterans were being directed toward renewed wage earning and household responsibility rather than left within a static pension framework.<br /> <br /> 4 The American Legion Weekly. New York January 1921. Vol. 3 No. 2. The cover image shows veterans using canes or crutches beneath the caption "What About Us" and the interior article "Disabled Veterans" presses the question of compensation and delay. In relation to Carry On it documents the point at which rehabilitation language gave way to organized pressure over unsettled claims and the gap between programmatic promises and veterans' lived outcomes.<br /> <br /> Disabled servicemen move from being recipients of state and municipal relief after the Civil War to subjects of a more elaborate administrative regime that joined medicine labor discipline morale and family economy during and after World War I. The magazines shows that reconstruction did not settle the problem of veterans' care: by 1921 the language of training and reentry had already been challenged by veterans demanding compensation and recognition on different terms. Edge wear creasing and toning throughout; the July 1919 Carry On more worn at wrappers the American Legion Weekly delicate and prone to chipping and the 1866 pamphlet comparatively clean with light age wear. Overall good condition. The archive preserves the transition from postwar aid to rehabilitation bureaucracy and then to veterans' protest over the limits of that system. unknown

192916179Jamaica NY: Tower Magazine Incorporated 1929. Some mild edge rubbing reading crease and some stress creases a nearly fine copy. Uncommon. 16179. Large octavo single issue pictorial wrappers. "Murder House" by Will Levinrew. Also a Craig Kennedy story by Arthur B. Reeve. A large format densely illustrated bedsheet-sized pulp. "The fiction emphasized the woman's point of view was often narrated by a woman and featured as many feminine as masculine detectives. In the rear of the magazine flowered all the usual departments of a more conventional woman's publication . That this magazine would publish much fiction of interest seems improbable. But without effort it contrived to be superb. ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE selected outstanding writers who had made their mark in the 1920s and mingled these with rising writers of the 1930s. Over the years the magazine would publish work by top names in the mystery field including Ellery Queen Stuart Palmer Sax Rohmer Arnold Kummer Hulbert Footner Vincent Starrett and H. Bedford-Jones. The fiction was polished often strongly compressed and good enough for a large amount of it to appear later between book covers. The magazine appeared monthly for almost six years sixty-nine issues at ten cents a copy. After three years the title was changed to THE MYSTERY MAGAZINE . Covers were tasteful bright and uneventful relying heavily on the faces of self-confident women. Inside was an astonishing amount of material: eight to ten pieces of fiction four or more crime-fact articles and up to ten continuing departments about half of these slanted directly toward women. When the magazine was at its peak in the early 1930s it offered material carefully calculated to appeal to most tastes and both sexes . MYSTERY was as meticulously planned as an orchestral score. Its careful variations played upon every shade of reader interest. It was consciously polished self-consciously feminine. A curious pared sound rang in its fiction as if the stories had been edited with a chain saw but the prose flashed with a bright nickel glitter. Slick the magazine may have been and often over illustrated but it was also considerably interesting and for years excellent." - Cook Mystery Detective and Espionage Magazines pp. 287-90.

Armorial bookplate of John Sundius Stamp to FEP blind-stamps of the Cardinal Hayes Library New York to title page and leaf C6.

'Professor Draper of the University of New York informs us in a note dated March 31st that he has succeeded during the winter in procuring portraits by the Daguerrotype and that they have all the beauty and softness of the most finished mezzotint engraving and only require from 20 to 45 second for execution'.
