A Superb Social Satire by Robert Cruikshank Ca. 1820. Isaac Robert Cruikshank son of Isaac and elder brother of the more famous George was a caricaturist illustrator and particularly apropos of the picture offered here portrait miniaturist. His first caricatures appeared around 1810 and were often produced in conjunction with his brother Geroge with whom he shared a studio. Notes Bryant and Heneage "Of his Robert's social satires those he made of the dandies and the fashion for 'hobby horses' in the early 1820s are among the most attractive." We are pleased to be able to offer a fine example of this genre. Bryant & Heneage Dictionary of British Cartoonists and Caricaturists p. 52 unknown books

Circular for Susquenhanna Slate with unrelated Pair of Letters Written to Rev. W. Chidlaw

185929001365Slate Hill PA: Susquehanna Slate February 1859. General wear. Missing corner. . The item is two letters addressed to Reverend Benjamin William Chidlaw written on a finely illustrated circular. The letters are written on a single page which has been folded in half with the first letter written on the inside fold and the second has been pasted onto the backside. What is perhaps most salient about these letters is the stationary it is written on. The front of this single fold stationary is from Isaac Parker's business Susquenhanna Slate which is "Equal to the Best Welsh" and located in Slate Hill PA. It has a beautiful black and white illustration on the top half of the page which showcases the quarry and excavation equipment used to remove the slate. On the bottom it provides information on the quarry itself such as that the slate is used for roofing materials and that they are the go-to slate quarry who provides materials for the US Government for roofing public buildings. In regards to the letters themselves the first is a letter from Isaac Parker and in the note he states that enclosed is $15.00 to help with Reverend Benjamin William Chidlaw's mission of establishing Sunday schools out west. Reverend Chidlaw worked as a missionary for the American Sunday School Union ASSU which was founded in 1824 in order to fulfill its mission for the promotion of Sunday or Sabbath schools that would help in the early literacy and spiritual development in children. While the mission first started in Pennsylvania it soon grew and began to focus on providing schooling for children in other areas such as the central west. Reverend Chidlaw was the first commissioned missionary of the ASSU to help in this endeavor. The second letter is from Petre Carter who sent the donation for Parker to Chidlaw as Parker didn't know where to send the money. Single fold. Measures 8 3/4" x 5" folded 10" x 7 3/4" unfolded.

Clough Isaac S.ABAA

Collection of ephemera advertising inventions and products by Isaac S. Clough

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. hardcover books
