Tribune Tracts. - No. 4. . Speech of Abraham Lincoln of Illinois Delivered at the Cooper Institute Monday Feb. 27 1860

1860367583New York: Office of the New York Tribune 1860. First edition Monaghan's first issue. 1 2-15 1pp. Lincoln's speech comprises pages 1-11 out of a total of 16 pages. With New York Tribune ads and subscription terms on rear wrapper. 8vo. Stitched self-wrappers minor toning minor chip to terminal leaf. First edition Monaghan's first issue. 1 2-15 1pp. Lincoln's speech comprises pages 1-11 out of a total of 16 pages. With New York Tribune ads and subscription terms on rear wrapper. 8vo. This address made at the Cooper Institute in New York on February 27 1860 catapulted Lincoln into the public eye and made him a viable presidential candidate. Indeed many historians have considered it the key to his success in the 1860 election and it is probably the most important speech Lincoln made after the Gettysburg Address and his inaugural addresses. The Cooper Union address was months in preparation; Lincoln was fully aware of its importance in moving himself from a regional favorite son to a viable national candidate. In the event some 1500 people including many prominent political figures attended on a snowy new York evening. The speech divides into three major parts. In the first Lincoln addressed the spread of slavery arguing that the framers of the constitution had been opposed to it and that the Federal government could regulate the question. In the second he argued that the Republicans were not a sectional Northern party and attacked the threats of southern Democrats to secede if the Republicans should win the election. Finally he addressed his fellow Republicans calling on them to act carefully and do "nothing through passion and ill temper.Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it." The Cooper Union speech was a resounding success. Horace Greeley described it as "one of the happiest and most convincing political arguments ever made in this City. No man ever made such an impression on his first appeal to a New York audience." Greeley quickly issued the speech in the form of this "Tribune Tract." It includes a final page of advertisements for other Tribune publications. The speech was later widely reprinted and made Lincoln nationally famous. This printing differs from other editions by its inclusion of a speech by James Doolittle Senator from Wisconsin and the message of Samuel Medary Democratic governor of the Kansas Territory vetoing the Kansas abolition bill. "The Cooper Union address tested whether Lincoln's appeal could extend from the podium to the page and from the rollicking campaigns of the rural West to the urban East. Cooper Union held the promise of transforming Lincoln from a regional phenomenon to a national figure. Lincoln knew it and rose to the occasion" Harold Holzer Lincoln at the Copper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President. Monaghan 50 Office of the New York Tribune unknown

Tratado da Gravura a agua forte e a buril e em maneira negra

18013776First Portuguese Translation of Bosse's Engraving ManualBOSSE Abraham. Tratado da Gravura a agua forte e a buril e em maneira negra com o modo de construir as prensas modernas e de imprimir em talho doce. Nova ediçao traduzida do francez. por José Joaquim Viegas Menezes. Lisbon Arco do Cego 1801.Tall 8vo 208 x 152 mm engraved title pp. x ix 1 189 1 errata with 21 engraved plates; plates printed on slightly darker stock; a wide-margined clean copy in recent full calf gilt.First Portuguese translation of Bosse's classic introduction to copperplate etching and engraving Traité des manières de graver en taille douce. This Portuguese translation by José Joaquim Viegas Menezes is clearly taken from the Jombert edition and reproduces the same plates though newly engraved with subtle adaptations; an extensive introduction precedes the text.Bosse's treatise the first manual of copperplate etching and engraving and the printing of intaglio plates was first published in French in 1645. It was aimed both at the professional engraver and at the amateur and is extensively illustrated with detailed engravings based on Bosse's own designs. A second edition of 1701 had contained revisions by LeClerc the third of 1745 those of the engraver Cochin. The Jombert edition added two new plates by Louis-Marin Bonnet the inventor of the Crayon manner of colour printing and a separate chapter on this method of colour printing. In addition to a wealth of technical information the work includes views of the engraving studio and the copperplate press.As adaptations were made to all subsequent editions the work has remained an important introduction to print-making which is of practical use to the printmaker even today.Innocencio IV 415; Moraes p. 11; see Bigmore & Wyman I 72 and Cicognara 255 for French edition; OCLC: Harvard Getty John Carter Brown Library British Library and V & A.

Traité de fauconnerie.

1844ABC_47845Leiden & Düsseldorf: Arnz & Comp. 1844. Expertly bound in contemporary gold-tooled half red morocco and red cloth over boards. Folio ca. 51 x 70 cm. With a tinted lithographed title-page mounted on India paper incorporating 11 vignettes illustrative of falconry by and after J. B. Sonderland. Further with 14 hand-coloured lithographed plates of falcons and falconry accoutrements and 2 tinted lithographed plates mounted on India paper of heron hawking. The illustrations are executed by Wendel J. Dillmann Portman and von Wouw after J.B. Sonderland J. Wolf C. Scheuren or G. Saal and Portman and von Wouw. Two parts in one volume. First edition of "the finest work on falconry which has ever been produced; not only on account of the beauty of the plates wherein the hawks are depicted life-size and of the natural colours but also for the general accuracy of the letterpress" Harting. The very beautiful plates include ten after Joseph Wolf which "are by far the finest ever produced in any book on falconry. It is impossible to describe the mellowness and beauty of the colourings" Schwerdt.Wolf is described by Jackson as an "artist who ranks among the world's finest animal painters" and the present images were largely responsible for launching his international career. "Wolf's success lay in his sketching from life after painstaking study of the anatomy of the animals and his care to get the structure correct and then paint fur and feather with extraordinary fidelity. But all the marvelous technique and deep knowledge was subservient to his ability to capture a moment in the life of his subject and preserve it in paint. Archibald Thorburn said of Wolf's pictures 'There is an indescribable feeling of life and movement attained by no other wildlife artist'" Jackson. Sir Edwin Landseer went further describing Wolf as "without exception the best all-round animal painter that ever lived".The letterpress text includes extensive sections on the terms used in falconry on the equipment used descriptions of the birds that were currently being flown and those that were not used. The text continues with recommended methods of catching or taking a suitable bird how this bird should be treated and how it should be trained and then how it should be flown. This is followed by a lengthy historical survey of falconry in Europe Africa Russia Asia and the Americas. The text finishes with a six-page bibliography of works on falconry and an explanation of the plates. According to the exhibition catalogue documenting the falconry books in the Dutch Royal Library The Hague 1993 probably no more than 100 copies were printed of which no more than 50 can be located today.A very good complete copy.l Cottrell 24; Fine Bird Books 1990 p. 138; Harting 194; Jackson Dictionary of Bird Artists of the World p. 496; Landwehr 174; Nissen IVB 832; Schwerdt II 150; Thiébaud 833; Zimmer 554.

Traité de fauconnerie.

1844ABC_45290Leiden & Düsseldorf 1844. Elephant folio 55.5 × 73.5 cm. Arnz & Co. Stored loosely in the original publishers cloth-backed printed boards. Tinted lithographed title-page with a pictorial border comprising 11 scenes of hawking by J. B. Sonderland 2 hand-coloured lithographed plates of falconry equipment by Portman and Von Wouw and 10 of 12 hand-coloured lithographed plates of hawks by Wendel after Joseph Wolf 8 mounted on paperboard. 4 90 VI 2 pp. First and only edition of a superb work the finest work on falconry that has ever been produced both on account of the beauty of the plates and general accuracy of the text. The lifesize illustrations of the birds are by far the finest ever produced in any book on falconry. It is impossible to describe the mellowness and beauty of the colourings Schwerdt. This famous book on falconry by H. Schlegel and A.H. Verster van Wulverhorst is known chiefly for its lifesize coloured illustrations of birds of prey lithographs after watercolours by Josef Wolf. The extensive research in the literature and the description of procedures by two laymen in the field of falconry still cause amazement among falconers.The work contains 17 illustrations: successively the tinted title-page two coloured plates with hunting gear and falconer's equipment two tinted plates of pictures of the activities of the Loo Hawking Club not present and 12 coloured plates with images of birds of prey in their natural surroundings.The last twelve plates show magnificent figures of hawks. Perhaps the most famous is that of the Groenlandais or white gyrfalcon which Tuijn shows to have been based on a portrait of the bird by Pierre Louis Dubourcq 1815-73. The other plates are from originals by Josef Wolf 1820-99 the German artist who ranks among the world's finest animal painters Jackson.Covers of portfolio somewhat rubbed and stained; spine cloth and extremeties professionally restored. Some foxing and browning in the plates; several marginal tears and chips professionally repaired; rebacked. Lacks 2 lithographed hawking scenes by J. Dillmann after Sonderland. Still an attractive set rarely encountered in the original portfolio as issued.l Harting p. 194 The finest work on falconry which has ever been produced; Nissen IVB 832; Schwerdt II 150; Thiebaud 833; Zimmer p. 554; Pieter Tuijn On the Traité de fauconnerie 1845-53 in: Quaerendo 25 1995 pp. 289-306.
