186633982Eccleston St. S.W. London March 13th 1866. 1866. Good. - Over 39 words penned on a 7 inch high by 4-3/8 inch wide sheet of buff paper with an attached blank leaf. Michael Costa writes to arrange a meeting with the recipient: "On Thursday I am engaged in the morning but if you can come in the afternoon at 1/2 past three o'clock." He then closes with "Hoping your cold is better believe me truly yours" signed "M. Costa". Folded twice horizontally for mailing the letter is slightly soiled. Remnants of gray paper adhering to the right edge of the verso of the blank page would suggest that the letter was once mounted in an album. Good. <p>The Italian-born conductor and composer Michael Costa 1808-1884 studied in Naples with his father at the Real Collegia di Musica and later with Niccolo Antonio Zingarelli. Although most of his works disappeared into obscurity he composed a significant number of operas symphonies and cantatas. After a visit to Birmingham he settled in England. In 1830 working as a conductor at His Majesty's Theatre Costa was able to influence many changes there and subsequently at Covent Garden. He was admired by Meyerbeer and Verdi. Having conducted several orchestras he took on English citizenship and was subsequently knighted in 1869. Among those compositions which survived are his ballets "Kenilworth" "Une Heure a Naples" "Sir Huon" and "Alma". His operas "Malek Adhel" and "Don Carlos" were produced in Paris and London. Eccleston St. S.W. [London], March 13th, 1866. unknown
1899013878Boston Mass: Bigelow & Dowse Co 1899. Fine/No Dust Jacket Issued. <br /> A turn-of-the-century trade presentation showcasing the height of the American bicycle craze and the rapid commercialization of the safety bicycle. <br /> Issued at a critical juncture in leisure transport history this catalog outlines detailed specifications for three premium regional lines: the B & D Special the Park Flyer and the ultra-scarce Copley line which operated exclusively during the year 1899. <br /> It documents the late-Victorian transition toward standardized consumer athletics featuring specialized mechanics for adult road racers and children's models sourced from the Fay Bicycle Company.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Visuals: Elaborately illustrated throughout with detailed technical wood engravings demonstrating frame configurations gear layouts and drop-handlebar profiles for specific models.<br /> Binding: Original stiff illustrated stapled wraps; retaining bright clean corporate lithographic cover design.<br /> Content: Exhaustive parts pricing mechanical dimensions and optional upgrades for the B & D Special Park Flyer and Copley lines including technical agent data for Ohio-manufactured Dayton Bicycles.<br /> Imprint: Bigelow & Dowse Co. Boston Massachusetts 1899.<br /> Specs: 8.5 x 8 inches; 12 pages complete.<br /> Unmarked domestic copy completely free of library stamps or industrial workshop notation.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Fine. A remarkably bright and well-preserved specimen. The stiff paper wraps remain clean flat and structurally sound with no fading to the lithographic ink. The staples are secure and completely free of oxidation or rust transfer. Internally the pages are crisp bright and untouched completely without flaw marks or the heavy thumb-soiling typical of late 19th-century hardware and trade literature. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> By the late 1890s the American landscape had been utterly transformed by the bicycle boom. The introduction of the safety bicycle-featuring two equal-sized wheels and a chain-driven rear axle-replaced the dangerous high-perch ordinary bicycle democratizing cycling for women children and the broader urban public.<br /> <br /> This 1899 catalog from Boston hardware powerhouse Bigelow & Dowse documents the peak of this cultural frenzy. Rather than acting as a simple order sheet the volume showcases how traditional industrial jobbers adjusted their entire distribution frameworks to accommodate the mass-market demands of seasonal sports and athletic leisure.<br /> <br /> The inclusion of specialized youth models from the Fay Bicycle Company emphasizes the expanding nature of the late-nineteenth-century consumer market demonstrating that bicycle ownership had transitioned from an elite hobby into a standardized family fixture.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES<br /> Design: Captures late-Victorian athletic marketing layouts pairing bold typography with isolated mechanical profiles to emphasize structural lightweight speed.<br /> Scholarship: Serves as a vital primary document for the history of American transportation tracking the rapid shift away from the high-wheel ordinary bicycle to the equal-wheeled safety design.<br /> Influence: Preserves the fleeting industrial footprint of the Copley Company whose single-year operational window 1899 makes their surviving trade literature extraordinarily scarce.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Bicycles 19th-Century Transportation American Leisure Culture Boston Commerce Industrial Design Trade Catalogues Ephemera Fay Bicycle Company Huffman Bicycles Dayton Ohio Manufacturing Ephemera Trade Catalogue.<br /> <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: OCLC/WorldCat 49198294 locating only 1 copy globally at the University of Maine.
