1865WRCAM56487Providence: Salisbury Bro. & Co. 1865. Illustrated broadside 12 1/2 x 8 inches. Old folds. Remnants of a label on verso a few small chips to edges uneven tanning light foxing. Very good. Rare broadside advertising gold jewelry and "Patent Embossed Carte de Visites.of all noted personages." from Salisbury Bro. & Co. of Providence Rhode Island. The text describes a large stock of photographs offered at wholesale prices to retailers across the country. The broadside has a vignette of the Salisbury factory in the top quarter of the sheet with a dense cascade of text in a variety of different fonts below. The lower third of the sheet is devoted to descriptions of images of Lincoln and the Civil War advertising three different Lincoln images and the promise "Our Picture of Lincoln is the best ever taken. All others as good as ever sold by any one." They also offer images of other prominent Civil War personages as well as "Booth the Assassin Robert E. Lee Jeff Davis and other prominent Rebels all at the same price. Also we have the ASSASSIN'S VISION and the ASSASSIN'S DOOM on full Cards." <br> <br> This broadside is primarily directed towards retailers as opposed to private customers and provides costs for bulk orders of up to 1000 cartes de visite. They claim their prices are "500 per cent. less than any dealers ever have." with prices starting at $7 for 100 and up to $100 for 1000 depending on the image. Although Salisbury Bros. & Co.'s cartes de visite and other photographic products are easily accessible in many libraries we could find no record of this broadside. An interesting record of the mass-marketing of photographic images in the post-Civil War era. Salisbury, Bro. & Co. unknown books

1881MMRM1650New York:: Trow's Printing and Bookbinding 1881. 1881. Small 8vo. 35 1 pp. Disbound; creased. Text quite clean. Good. Jacobi was a giant of American pediatrics and he remains the only foreign-born President of the American Medical Association. His view of pediatrics included the social and cultural aspects of caring for children. It is in this light that he addresses Rudolf Virchow. Virchow's seminal work in cellular theory and biology often overshadows Virchow's view that medicine was more than science. A memorable Virchow aphorism is "Medicine is a social science and politics are nothing but medicine on a grand scale." Social and political reforms based on medical knowledge were critical to the public's health. Jacobi adopts this perspective in his laudatory discussion of Virchow. source: Formative Years Children's Health in the United States 1880-2000. Stern & Markel editors.

1865WRCAM53482Washington D.C. 1865. Broadside 13 x 8 1/4 inches. Faint dust-soiling minor edge wear with a few short marginal tears repaired on verso. Very good. A rare first broadside printing announcing two of President Lincoln's three final proclamations "Closing Certain Ports" and "Port of Key West to Remain Open" both issued on April 11 1865. President Lincoln issued these proclamations just three days before he was cut down by assassin John Wilkes Booth. Both proclamations are signed in type by Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward. <br> <br> The first proclamation "Closing Certain Ports" shut down a large number of Confederate ports all listed on the proclamation and indicates that "all rights of importation warehousing and other privileges shall in respect to the ports aforesaid cease until they have again been opened by order of the President; and if while said ports are closed any ship or vessel from beyond the United States or having on board any articles subject to duties shall attempt to enter any such port the same together with its tackle apparel furniture and cargo shall be forfeited to the United States." It was President Lincoln's 126th proclamation. <br> <br> The second proclamation "Port of Key West to Remain Open" was issued to amend the previous proclamation. It states that "the port of Key West in the state of Florida was inadvertently included among those which are not open to commerce" and declares that "said port of Key West is and shall remain open to foreign and domestic commerce." It was President Lincoln's 127th proclamation. <br> <br> These two documents constitute the antepenultimate and penultimate proclamations issued by President Lincoln; his last entitled "Claiming Equality of Rights with All Maritime Nations" was promulgated the same day. An important pair of proclamations among the last acts of the Great Emancipator before his untimely demise. unknown books
