18770383571877. Original manuscript. Very Good. 4pp octavo written in sepia ink on a single folded leaf; top few lines of first page are cross-hatched as the writer finishes up her message. In the original mailing envelope torn open addressed to Hannah Pancoast Mount Holly Burlington Co. New Jersey with a three-cent stamp postmarked at Philadelphia. Addressed to “My dearest H.†the writer says she received her letter when she was about to leave Paris but is writing her a less “hurried†reply now that she’s aboard ship although “it seems impossible to give thee an idea of the joy of the whole summer.†The rest of the letter is rhapsodic in its report of the beauties of Italy and Switzerland. The writer who notes that only 8 of “our party…went through Italy entirely†mentions seeing Naples Pompeii taking “lovely rides on the Bay of Naples†and “days at Rome sightseeing.†She then spent “day after day at Venice…riding in those gondolas a lazy dreaming life…†and including a trip from there to “the island where Byron spent so much of his time†San Lazarro degli Armeni. “The glory of the beauty of some of the past scenes can never fade from memory†and she singles out the ride from Pisa to Genoa with its tunnels and sights of “fishermen and …children…and little parties in bathing….†as especially charming. She was equally taken with the beauties of “Switzerland with its lakes†where she accomplished “the ascent of the Rigi†mountain near Lake Lucerne and also crossed the unforgettable mountain passes. She concludes “But I must tell thee all about this†in person and goes on to describe shipboard life. “There are ten Rev. gentlemen on board and they have family worship twice a day.†There is also “a great deal of musical talent on board…quite a concert…and last night a comical school. Miss Florence would have nejoyed the fun…fancy readings and recitations then one is asked to promenade and play games.†she also plays two-hour chess games with a “prof. from Georgia†and then with “another gentlemanâ€. She opines “this is a lazy life†and says she’ll be happy to see her “dear ones†next week lists them all and ends with “Han I long to see thee and tell thee of the romances of this whole summer outing…†Unsigned. We find online that Hannah H. Pancoast was born 28 May 1862 the daughter of Joseph Pancoast and Susan Thompson of Salem County New Jersey. the “Steamship Bolivia†was an Anchor Line ship built by Glasgow’s Robert Duncan Co. and launched in 1873. unknown

1893D108611893. Hardcover. Fine. Dated 1893 sketchbook album in oblong 12mo 120 x 170mm manuscript in pencil with drawings and notes; 40 cream sheets lightly aged at edges 2 sheets are blank. The sketches are generally of building façades captured from a distance but also with some extreme close-ups of sculptural details or decoration on the monuments from gothic towers to ornate door hinges. Some sketches are accompanied with notes by the artist and most are captioned with the site or dated with the month and year being 93. The formatting of the date and spelling throughout suggest this album belonged to an American traveler who visited several sites in Western Europe during the spring of 1893. The drawings are accomplished works of art done by a skillful hand perhaps a novice architect others are barely sketched perhaps unfinished but displaying an interesting narrative which weaves moments of voyage through Martigny St. Maurice and Lausanne in Switzerland; Heidelberg Castle Mainz Cathedral Mayence and Cologne Germany; Utrecht and Holland; and cathedrals at Soissons and Reims in France. Original canvas covers with elastic strap somewhat loose back cover splitting otherwise sound and in very good condition. Inside there is a label of the Carlo Cogiola store in Milan. A great little item full of classic yet original views of historical churches and building parts. <br/><br/> hardcover
