186139392Springfield: Charles H. Lanphier 1861. 4 pp. Folio. 16-1/4" x 23-1/2.". Lightly chipped blank inner edge. Each page printed in six columns each separated by a rule. Very Good.<br /> <br /> The Register no friend of Abraham Lincoln was a Democratic Paper supporting the Crittenden Compromise. Reporting on State and National issues the Register notes "The Crittenden Resolutions have strong friends but the ultra republicans will not take them." Lincoln had insisted that his allies hold firm against Crittenden's Compromise. The Register rebukes Lincoln for his famous declaration that "the Union could not endure permanently part slave and part free." Developments in the fracturing Union are reported. <br /> Lincoln had been elected President nearly three months before the appearance of this issue. His inauguration would occur five weeks later. Paid advertisers include John McClernand and John Stuart who advertise their legal services in the first column of page 1. The large number and variety of advertisements for an array of medical complaints about four columns are surprising- - and a little disturbing. <br /> This issue also reports an incident involving the John Brownites at Boston who were snubbed by British Lord Brougham after inviting him to attend a convention discussing the abolition of slavery.

1865136231865. Lincoln Abraham. Late Civil War portrait of Abraham Lincoln derived from a February 1865 photograph taken during the final months of the American Civil War. The image records Lincoln near the conclusion of the conflict that preserved the Union and ended legal slavery in the United States. Created shortly before his assassination in April 1865 the portrait captures a visibly worn president whose appearance reflected the physical and political strain of leading the nation through four years of war. The photograph was long attributed to Mathew Brady but was actually taken by government photographer Lewis Emory Walker and issued commercially through the New York photographic publishers E. & H. T. Anthony. The portrait belongs to a group of late images that document Lincoln's appearance in the closing weeks of the war.<br /> <br /> Stereoview photograph published by Keystone View Company reproducing the 1865 Walker portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Keystone stereograph number 92. The mount bears the Keystone biographical text about Lincoln on the verso together with the company's copyright notice. A handwritten pencil notation on the reverse references the earlier attribution of the photograph to Mathew Brady. The portrait shows Lincoln with closely cut hair a style that contemporary accounts suggested was recommended by his barber in preparation for the creation of a life mask by sculptor Clark Mills.<br /> <br /> Photographic portraits of Lincoln produced during the final months of the Civil War became some of the most widely circulated visual representations of the president after his assassination in April 1865. Images such as this stereographic reproduction contributed to the creation of Lincoln's public memory in the late nineteenth century when photographic publishers issued stereographs and other prints that allowed Americans to view notable figures through emerging visual media. Stereographs played an important role in popular visual culture during this period offering audiences three dimensional photographic views through stereoscopic viewers and distributing portraits of political leaders to a wide national audience. Light wear consistent with age and handling. Overall condition good to very good. unknown
1863182911863. Maine Farmer. January 8 1863 prints the full text of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation within one week of its issuance providing contemporaneous evidence of how federal emancipation policy was circulated to the Northern public during the Civil War. Published just days after January 1 1863 the issue situates emancipation alongside ongoing war reporting integrating the declaration of freedom for enslaved people in Confederate states into the broader military and political narrative of the Union war effort. Introduced under the subheading "The following is the text of the President emancipating the slaves in the rebellious states" the proclamation asserts federal authority through wartime powers declaring that "all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are and henceforward shall be free" and further authorizes the enlistment of Black men into the armed forces. The proximity of this text to battlefield reports and personal correspondence underscores the immediacy with which emancipation entered public discourse as both military strategy and social transformation.<br /> <br /> Maine Farmer. Vol. not stated. Maine January 8 1863. 4 pages. Newspaper format. The Emancipation Proclamation appears in full on the second page accompanied by additional Civil War coverage including reports of troop movements battle outcomes and casualties. On the same page a letter from a Union soldier of the 16th Maine Regiment written at the Battle of Fredericksburg reads in part: "Dear Father I write you while lying on the battlefield wounded perhaps fatally. Tell mother I think of her while lying here and wish I had her to be with me in my last parting moments." An editorial note explains that the letter was written in pencil on the battlefield the paper "tinged with blood" and that the soldier died the following day linking the proclamation directly to the lived experience of wartime sacrifice.<br /> <br /> Issued at a turning point in the Civil War the publication captures the intersection of emancipation policy military necessity and public communication in the Union states. The inclusion of both the proclamation and firsthand testimony from the battlefield demonstrates how questions of slavery citizenship and national survival were experienced simultaneously at the level of policy and individual life. Newspapers such as this served as primary vehicles through which federal decisions reached civilian audiences shaping understanding of the war's aims and consequences. Small edge tears and light foxing present not affecting text. Overall very good. unknown
18392250New York City: City Fire Insurance Company of the City of New York 1839.

Partially printed. Light foxing. 1/2 inch to one inch hole through both leaves affecting some text. Good Condition.<br /> <br /> Early fire insurance policy for New York City property located at 117 Broad Street offices of Abraham Bell & Company. From the University of Michigan finding aid for the papers of Abraham Bell we find: "Abraham Bell was born in Ireland in March 1778 and married Mary Christy in 1812; the couple had six children. In the early 19th century Bell a Quaker and his family emigrated to New York City where he built a shipping firm Abraham Bell & Company. The business which operated several transatlantic routes shipped a wide variety of goods including linens. In 1844 Bell changed the name of his company to Abraham Bell & Son. A few years later during the Irish famine of the late 1840s Bell's company assisted in the transportation of émigrés to America. Bell died in New York City in 1856."<br /> <br /> After the Great Fire of New York in 1835 fire insurance became difficult to obtain as many companies were bankrupted by the 1835 fire with a reported 23 of 26 insurance companies wiped out. Little is found about the City Fire Insurance Company of the City of New York. After the 1835 conflagration most fire insurance companies in the east were based out of Hartford Connecticut. This policy is signed by the company President Cyrus Hitchcock and Secretary R.A. Reading. The premium was $1.00 for coverage of $1200. <br /> <br /> Document printed by James Van Norden Pine Street New York and features a suitably patriotic vignette at the top of the certificate.
