1862158301862. Boston: Crosby and Nichols 1862. Original blind-stamped dark green cloth illustrated on the spine in gilt.<br/> <br/> First Edition of this novel set in and written during the American Civil War. It is the best-known if not only novel by "Florence Erwin" -- about whom virtually nothing is known. In fact both the title page and the binding are intentionally ambiguous: since the central characters of the book are the journeying Florence Erwin and her husband is FLORENCE ERWIN'S THREE HOMES the title only or the author plus the title The headline atop each page is "The Three Homes." The story follows the lives of three women each from a different background who are affected by the war in different ways. The first woman Mary is a wealthy plantation owner from the South who is forced to flee her home when the Union Army invades. The second woman Alice is a Northern abolitionist who moves to the South to help slaves escape to freedom. The third woman Kate is a young girl who is sent to live with her aunt in the North after her father dies in battle. As the war progresses the lives of these three women become increasingly intertwined. Amz. It is interesting that since this book was "deposited" in 1861 and first published in 1862 the three women's tales involve a lot of imagined outcomes on the part of the author. Included are numerous illustrative plates. This is a remarkably close-to-fine copy of this uncommon wartime novel spine gilt a little oxidized front endpaper very slightly cracked but scarcely any wear. unknown

1870List36105N.p. 1870. Carte After the original photograph by William Edward Kilburn 1818–1891 taken circa 1854 with later CDV issue probably circa 1870s. Albumen print mounted on card; sitter identified in print beneath image. Standard carte-de-visite format approximately 2½ x 4 inches. Excellent contrast with light surface wear. Seated three-quarter portrait of Nightingale in dark silk dress with white collar hands folded over a paper posed beside an upholstered Victorian chair. The image derives from a sitting arranged in London with William Edward Kilburn one of Britain’s early professional photographers and a former daguerreotypist who gained fame by exhibiting at the Great Exhibition of 1851. By the early 1850s Kilburn had established a reputation for photographing members of the aristocracy and prominent public figures.<br /> <br /> The Nightingale sitting happened shortly before her departure for the Crimea in October 1854 at a moment when her name was just entering the public press. The portrait predates her full transformation into the national icon later known as the “Lady with the Lamp.†Unlike later more romanticized images Kilburn’s photograph presents a composed unsentimental likeness more consistent with standard portraiture practices than her later photographs. Following Nightingale’s wartime service at Scutari 1854–1856 and the subsequent surge of public acclaim Kilburn’s image became the primary photographic source from which engravings lithographs and later carte-de-visite reproductions were made.1<br /> <br /> 1 Denis Pellerin “Florence Nightingale: The Mystery Behind Her Iconic Photographs†The Classic November 15 2020 https://theclassicphotomag.com/florence-nightingale-the-mysteries-behind-her-iconic-photographs/ accessed February 27 2026. unknown
