186525618<p>Frank Leslie published this print as a premium for his new family magazine <i>Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner</i> and copyrighted it on April 8 1865 just a week before Lincoln's death. The image created by engraver Henry B. Major and lithographer Joseph Knapp portrays Lincoln flanked by the First Lady and Vice President Andrew Johnson greeting Julia Dent Grant wife of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant who stands nearby.</p><p>According to a notice printed at the bottom right corner "<i>Every Person who pays Ten Cents each for numbers 1 and 2 of Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner The New Family Paper is entitled to a copy of this PLATE without extra charge</i>" or individuals could purchase the print for $3.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Lithograph. "Grand Reception of the Notabilities of the Nation at the White House 1865" New York: Frank Leslie April 1865. 1 p. 19 x 23¾ in.<p><br /></p><p>In the first issue of <i>The Chimney Corner</i> Leslie described the "Grand Reception" image as "the most costly gift plate ever presented by any publisher in the United States having been produced at an expense of $10000."</p><p>"Every family should possess this truly national picture and carefully preserve it" Leslie continued "as it will transmit to future generations the men who have restored our great national unity. It is especially valuable as it contains an excellent likeness of our late lamented President introducing General Grant and his wife to Mrs. Lincoln." The picture contains "nearly 100 portraits of our most celebrated Generals Statesmen and Civilians also of many of our most distinguished American ladies. The likenesses are admirable having been taken from photographs by Brady."</p><p>The key giving the names of each individual portrait was published in issue number 4 of the <i>Chimney Corner</i> on June 24.</p><p>Included in the image are Generals Ulysses S. Grant John G. Foster William T. Sherman Hugh J. Kilpatrick Nathaniel P. Banks Philip H. Sheridan Winfield S. Hancock John A. Logan Joseph Hooker Benjamin F. Butler Oliver O. Howard John A. Dix and Henry W. Slocum. Admirals David Farragut and David Dixon Porter represent the Navy. Members of the cabinet include Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton Secretary of State William H. Seward and Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles. Members of Congress include Senator Henry B. Anthony of Rhode Island Senator William P. Fessenden of Maine Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts and Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax of Indiana. Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase represents the U.S. Supreme Court. New York newspaper editors Horace Greeley Henry J. Raymond and James Gordon Bennett are also present. Prominent women include First Lady Mary Lincoln Ann S. Stephens dime novelist and magazine editor Miriam Folline Squier wife of Leslie's former editor-in-chief and Leslie's future wife Julia Dent Grant wife of Ulysses S. Grant Kate Chase Sprague daughter of Chief Justice and wife of Rhode Island Senator and Adele Cutts Douglas widow of Stephen A. Douglas. Others identified in the key include Ephraim G. Squier Leslie's former editor-in-chief archaeologist and U.S. commissioner to Peru Governor Andrew G. Curtin of Pennsylvania and Ambassador to Russia Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky.</p><p>Despite Leslie's copyright Anton Hohenstein created a very similar image entitled "Lincoln's Last Reception" which also featured Lincoln's meeting General Ulysses S. Grant's wife Julia. Published by John Smith in Philadelphia in 1865 and hand-colored "Lincoln's Last Reception" also included more than thirty military and political leaders and a few prominent women among the onlookers in the ballroom.</p><p><b><i>Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner</i></b> 1865-1884 was a weekly family newspaper published "every Tuesday" in New York by Frank Leslie. Each illustrated issue of sixteen pages contained serial fiction short stories poetry biographies history travel sketches natural history anecdotes and other subjects. According to the prospectus the newspaper would be "a welcome messenger of instruction and amusement to the young and old in the family and by the fireside—that altar around which cluster our holiest and most cherished recollections." Leslie had copyrighted the title in 1861 but "the great Rebellion now happily closing intervened to put a stop to the enterprise."</p><p><b>Frank Leslie</b> 1821-1880 was born in England as Henry Carter but he adopted the pseudonym of Frank Leslie to keep his artistic activities a secret from his relatives who disapproved. He came to the United States in 1848 and settled in New York in 1853 to engrave woodcuts for P. T. Barnum's <i>Illustrated News</i>. When that publication failed Leslie began work on his own series of illustrated publications including <i>Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper</i> <i>The Budget of Fun</i> <i>Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner</i> and others. At his death he was deeply in debt but his second wife Miriam Folline Squier 1836-1914 continued his publications and again made them profitable even legally changing her name to Frank Leslie in 1881.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Spot-mounted to modern board mat toning moderate foxing minor edge wear.

186537441New York: Currier & Ives. 152 Nassau Street 1865. Lithograph print oblong 13-1/2" x 18." Uncolored depicting Booth shooting Lincoln in the back of the head Mrs. Lincoln Miss Harris and Major Rathbone sharing the theater box with him. Minor dusting in the margins. Very Good plus.<br /> <br /> A related print by Currier & Ives lists the names of the occupants in the theater box. See 165 Eberstadt 460. This variant does not list the occupants' names.<br /> "This lithograph records the shocking moment when Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth. As a famous actor Booth had free access to Ford's Theatre and had gone there to collect his mail on April 14 when he learned of the president's intention to attend a play that evening. Booth was the leader of a group of pro-Confederate conspirators determined to prevent the South's defeat and when Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant on April 9 they decided to kill Lincoln and other key Union leaders hoping to destabilize the war effort and allow Confederate armies still in the field to rally. Major Henry Rathbone who rises at left to restrain Booth was subsequently stabbed but survived. Lincoln died the next morning" The MET online.<br /> Currier & Ives Gallery C0291. Not in Reilly.

1865005102<p>Philadelphia: Barclay & Co. 1864 1865 1865. FIRST EDITION. 1 vol. 9-1/4" x 5-3/4" original pictorial wrappers illustrated pagination irregular but complete original stitching completely unsophisticated without repairs internally clean and bright mild general handling but surely one of the nicest copies you're going to encounter VERY GOOD. McDade 623 According to RBH only 2 copies have ever appeared at auction. The last one in 2008. Variant issue mentioned by Howes with the illustration of the execution moved to p 96; also with misprint of copyright date as "1864". Featuring engraved portrait of Mary Surratt on cover. The assassination of Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth on the night of April 14 1865 need no retelling. Time however which has its own way with our judgments has raised some doubts about some of these. The unfairness of the military tribunal is now manifest and the guilt of Mrs. Surratt is certainly doubtful. This was amply demonstrated by the fact that only two years after the crime the government could not obtain the conviction of her son John Surratt in the civil courts in Washington.</p> Philadelphia: Barclay & Co., 1864 [1865]

18666114no place given: William E. Marshall 1866. Very good . Lithograph measuring about 17." x 22.5" full margins; likely untrimmed. The image measures about 15.75" x 20.5". Matted and framed and has not been examined out of frame. Offsetting/age-toning affects the right half of the print although this is only visible at the margin not within the image. Important 1866 engraving of the recently deceased 16th president; Marshall sent copies to many of Lincoln's closest friends and colleagues and the response was one of unanimous praise. Highly detailed and dignified it presents the statesman as a figure of great worth; even of immortailty. This example handsomely presented in a double matte and deep brown wooden frame. William E. Marshall unknown
166341874Nuremburg: Heirs of J. & W. Endter 1663. 8vo. 6 3/16 x 3 3/4 inches. xiv 998 xl pp. Title in red and black engraved frontispiece and 42 plates 7 folding. Early ownership signature on front pastedown. Early 18th-century lengthy manuscript commentary referencing passages on Brahmins from a work by Johann Albrecht von Mandelslo 1616-1644. Contemporary vellum<br/> <br/> First German Edition of one of the earliest European accounts of Hinduism in Southern India by a missionary who worked in Palicatta Coromandel for ten years from 1630 enlarged by supplementary accounts of Asian African and American religions not included in the Dutch and French editions.<br/> <br/> Abraham Roger was a Dutch missionary and linguist who spent a significant portion of his career working in India under the Dutch East India Company VOC. He was stationed in Pulicat a trading hub on the Coromandel Coast of South India where he worked among the Tamil speaking population. His experiences as a missionary coupled with his interest in local culture prompted him to document Hindu religious practices and beliefs culminating in this notable work. First published in Dutch in 1651 and translated into German in 1663 it is one of the earliest and most significant works by a European exploring Hinduism in South India. Roger's approach was distinct in its attempt to understand and accurately portray Hinduism a religion he sought to comprehend despite his missionary objectives. His work stands out for its translations of Hindu hymns and descriptions of temple rituals and he drew much of his knowledge from his close collaboration with local Brahmins reflecting a relatively objective tone compared to other European writings of the period. Despite his Eurocentric and missionary perspective Roger was unique in that he did not entirely dismiss Hinduism but rather engaged with it to create one of the earliest detailed European accounts of the religion.<br/> <br/> Sabin 72603; JCB III p. 92; Ackermann V 1273; Landwehr VOC 65.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY - AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY WHY WAIT -- 470 pages; clean and crisp tight and bright pages with no writing or markings to the text. -- DESCRIPTION: The Facts On File Dictionary of Clichés explains the meanings and origins of more than 3000 clichés and common expressions. Draws from a wide variety of sources including the Bible Shakespeare and other works of literature. Drawing from a wide variety of sources this book details the meaning of the cliché or expression its source early uses and the history of the phrase over time and its level of use in contemporary English is also noted. -- REVIEW: "This dictionary spans allusions of the past 1000 years including more than 1500 terms names and words used as metaphors to crystallize moments within the larger context of history culture and literature. Updating and expanding The Facts On File Dictionary of 20th-Century Allusions this work joins broader references like Dorothy Auchter's Dictionary of Historical Allusions and Eponyms LJ 8/98 and Elizabeth Webber and Mike Feinsilber's Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Allusions 1999. Over 600 new entries from earlier time periods have been added although the selection appears random. There is an entry for Sinclair Lewis's Main Street but not William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury or the "sound and fury" of Shakespeare's MacBeth; Batman Bernhard Goetz and Littleton CO are listed but not Waterloo Charles Manson or the Simpsons. Typically Merriam-Webster's includes each entry's pronunciation meaning and multiple examples of usage. Facts On File contains nearly twice as many entries but offers no pronunciation guide sometimes omits historical or cultural insights and seldom quotes usage examples. Whereas both dictionaries describe Ahab within the context of Moby Dick Facts On File omits mention of the historic and biblical context of King Ahab an archetype of evil from the Old Testament. Finally some entries appear too rudimentary to include such as "ABCs as easy as ABC." Nevertheless this new work is recommended as a sound reference tool holding many allusions not yet covered elsewhere. --Michelle Foyt Russell Lib.
