185657145New York 1856. 39 broadsides labels ads calling cards etc. all relating to the business ventures of Isaac S. Clough a prolific inventor and salesman who concentrated mostly on the invention of novel insect traps but who also sold ash sifters pastry boards spring boot jacks combined knife spoon and fork utensils match safes hand lanterns an "automaton dancer" composed of two "negro-dancers" and string and more. At least six different insect traps are represented including a Premium Clockwork Pillar & Cage Fly Trap and a Clock-Work Revolving Light House Fly & Mosquito Trap. The largest item is a broadsheet 9.25" x 12" with a "Clough's Reporter" newsletter on one side and a large engraved illustration for a Suspension Cage New Fly-Trap on the opposite side. In addition to his inventions Clough also worked as a manufacturer distributor and a door to door salesman. Many of the ads are pointed at wholesalers and two items are printed calling letters notifying a household of an imminent visit by Clough to sell them fire shovels for example. A number of items cite Clough's number of medals and diplomas earned with the number peaking at 19 and 33 respectively. Aside from this small change in accolades it is difficult to date most of the material. "Clough's Reporter" is dated 1860 one manuscript letter from the then governor of Massachusetts Alexander H. Rice congratulating Clough for his success in business dated 1856. The calling letter from the Iron Clad Can Co. is dated 1876. The majority of the material is likely printed between the late 1850s and the early 1870s. Also included are a few New York banknotes signed by Clough and a receipt on letterhead for a tombstone ordered by him for Cypress Hills Cemetary. We could find little on Clough's life beside the fact that he appears to have been based in Brooklyn NY. A few chips and holes in some items but most generally very good and an interesting group reflecting the world of late 19th century American industry. <br/><br/> hardcover books

182319787Philadelphia: Carey & Lea 1823. Engraving with full period colour. Backed on linen. Split at fold expertly repaired. Occasional creases. Fascinating and informative map of Connecticut from one of the most innovative American atlases of the 19th century.<br/> <br/>Carey & Lea's atlas established a style that was widely admired especially in Europe: placing a fully coloured map as the centerpiece of the page and surrounding it with geographical and historical facts. The texts were well written and intriguing. The immense transformation of continental America: the vast migration settlement and industrialization really began at about this time not long after the War of 1812 when expansion and opportunity were American by-words. It was at this time that American atlases began to need semi-annual revisions because the country had changed so rapidly. In fact the Carey & Lea gazetteer style most reminiscent of Herman Moll really was too time consuming for the firms that published atlases of America as the century progressed.
