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

Burgundy cloth gilt-stamped cover and spine titles dust-jacket; jacket worn and stained with some tape repair. Very good. GEORGE R. MINOT'S COPY 1934 NOBEL PRIZE WINNER. Dr. George R. Minot's copy with the Author's presentation inscription: "To Dr. George R. Minot; In memory of Charles Sedgwick Minot & Dr. George R. Minot- with the best wishes of Henry Fairfield Osborn December 18th 1930 Congratulations on the well-deserved award." Minot was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine which he shared with William P. Murphy and George H. Whipple. The reference to the "award" in the inscription was not to the Noble Prize which came to Minot in 1934. Also in the inscription the use of the phrase "In memory of" certainly applied to Charles Sedgwick Minot who died in 1914 but not to George since he died in 1955. Osborn himself died in 1935. Two earlier editions of the bibliography had been published the first for the period 1877-1910 and the second for the period 1911-1918. Both were compiled by Harriet Ernestine Ripley and continued thereafter by Janette May Lucas. This bibliography is identified in the text as the third edition but it is the first edition of the complete bibliography. A special copy in every respect. Charles Scribner's Sons, 1930. hardcover
16430071411643. No Binding. Very Good. Original etching on laid paper circular composition ca. 1643-48. Sheet size approx. 145 x 140 mm. A spirited etching of Bacchanalian Scene with Satyrs and Musicians by Stefano della Bella depicting a lively bacchanalian scene with satyrs and children engaged in music and dance within a wooded landscape. The animated figures fluid movement and delicately balanced composition exemplify della Bella's characteristic lightness of touch and his gift for narrative charm. The circular format enhances the sense of intimacy and rhythmic motion while the fine controlled line work reflects the artist's mastery of engraving and etching. Della Bella was one of the most accomplished printmakers of the Italian Baroque admired for his imaginative pastoral and mythological scenes and influential in both Italy and France. Good overall condition for 17th century print. Light even toning consistent with age and paper type. Minor surface soling and faint scattered foxing primarily in the margins. No major tears or losses. The impression remains clear with well-preserved detail and plate mark <br/> <br/> unknown

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
