In-8 (209 x 134 mm), demi-maroquin rouge à grain long, dos orné de filets à froid, auteur et titre dorés (rel. moderne signée Laurenchet), (4), 194 p., 4 p. de catalogue éditeur, 2 grandes cartes dépliantes. Rare édition originale distribuée hors commerce "aux amis" et sympathisants fouriéristes, comme précisé par l'auteur dans son avertissement. Véritable programme matériel pour la colonisation phalanstérienne du Texas, l'ouvrage est illustré de deux grandes cartes repliées hors texte avec contours coloriés imprimées par Lemercier: une des États-Unis gravée par les Frères Avril, l'autre du Texas par F. Delamare, d'après J.-H. Colton. "Considérant développe son projet. Il relate son voyage et fait des descriptions du Texas qu’il présente comme la Terre promise et le lieu idéal pour l’expérimentation sociale (…). Il propose la fondation d’une agence de colonisation, suivie de la création d’un grand champ d’asile ouvert à toutes sortes d’expériences sociales, dont celles fouriéristes (…). Dès sa parution, "Au Texas" rencontra un succès immédiat qui dépassa toutes les prévisions (…). C’est poussé par ce succès et par l’impatience manifestée par les aspirants colons que François Cantagrel partit pour le Nouveau Monde le 3 oct. 1854 avec comme mission de rechercher l’emplacement de la future colonie" ("Les premiers socialismes", Expo. virtuelle, 2008, U. de Poitiers, en ligne). Né à Salins (Jura), polytechnicien, Victor Considérant (1808-1893) renonça à la carrière militaire pour se consacrer à la diffusion des idéaux fouriéristes, jusqu'à reprendre la tête du mouvement à la mort de Fourier en 1837. La "Colonie de Réunion" fondée près de Dallas (Texas) tourna rapidement au fiasco. Après plusieurs années à San Antonio, Considérant rentra à Paris en 1869 à la faveur d'une amnistie, adhéra un temps à la Première Internationale, puis se retira de la vie politique. Il est l'un des pionniers du socialisme en France. (Del Bo, p. 70. Dommanget, 'V. Considérant', n°46. Owes, n°697. Jenkins, 'Basic Texas Books', 33. Sabin, 1592). Page de titre montée sur onglet.

1884W2434New York: The Century Co. 1884. The image is 4 5/8 inches by 7 1/4 inches on artist board measuring 14 1/2 inches by 12 1/4 inches. Original ink drawing by Walton Taber 1857-1933 after a post-battle photograph. The scene shows dead Confederate soldiers in front of Battery Robinette on October 5 1862 the morning after the battle at Corinth Mississippi. Civil War historians J. Matthew Gallman and Gary W. Gallagher attributed the photograph to Ohio born and Corinth based photographer George Washington Armistead . However the Library of Congress has a virtually identical photographic negative that is attributed to Nicholas D. Brown. Although the photographer's identity remains uncertain it is clear that the drawing is by Walton Taber and is signed by him in the lower left corner of the image. Taber did the drawing for the Century Company who published it on page 751 of volume 2 of Battles and Leaders of the Civil War. This drawing along with others by Taber that were included in the Century Collection of Civil War Art was auctioned by Christie's in New York in 1988. Born in New Bedford Massachusetts Taber was one of the most important American illustrators during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His pen and ink drawings provided the Century Company almost 250 illustrations for Battles and Leaders. The drawing offered here is in near fine condition: clean and bright on artist board that is lightly and uniformly toned on the recto; there is some minor soiling on the verso along with notations made by Century editors and a later framer. The drawing is now archivally matted and ready for a 16" by 16" frame. SIGNED. Original. Single Sheet. Near Fine. Illus. by Isaac Walton Taber. 4 5/8" by 7 1/4". Fine Art Print. The Century Co.

A RARE map not found at OCLC or in online searches depicting the area of the Hawks Nest Tunnel disaster which has been called one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. "The Hawks Nest Tunnel was part of a hydroelectric project undertaken by Union Carbide near Gauley Bridge WV. Beginning in 1927 nearly 3000 men three-fourths of whom were Black endured prolonged exposure to silica dust-without respiratory protection-while mining sand-stone. Many of these workers developed silicosis and eventually died from the disease. Although the exact number of deaths caused by the disaster is unknown some sources say more than 1000 workers died. The 16240-ft-long tunnel served to divert water from the New River through Gauley Mountain a drop of 162 ft. Its sole purpose was to provide electricity only to the Electro Metallurgical Co. another Union Carbide subsidiary. Since the drill- ing of the tunnel was defined as a construction project and not technically mining the workers were deprived of any protective provisions for underground mining." VANTAGE POINT The Historic & Cultural Importance of the HAWKS NEST TUNNEL DISASTER By Howard W. Spencer February 2023. In addition to the railroad lines the map shows the sites of Electro-Metalugical Co. loading and unloading tracks for Rhinehart & Dennis contractor for the Tunnel and the Dam Site for the New Kanawha Power Co. It wasn't until a NEWSWEEK article published Jan. 25 1936 that the American public learned of what had transpired years before. After an investigation in Congress the summary statement of the investigating committee concluded - "That the whole driving of the tunnel was begun continued and completed with grave and inhumane disregard of all consideration for the health lives and future of the employees. That as a result many workmen became infected with silicosis; that many have died of the disease and many not yet dead are doomed to die from the ravages of the disease as a result of their employment and the negligence of the employing contractor."

1791372073Philadelphia: Andrew Brown 1791. First edition. 9 6-490 26 pp. 8vo. Contemporary sheep minor wear. Leaf 3B2 torn with loss. Provenance: Adam See early bookplate. First edition. 9 6-490 26 pp. 8vo. The earliest collected printings of the Acts of the first three sessions of the First Congress.<br /> <br /> In 1789 Childs and Swaine were contracted as the official printers to publish the acts of Congress publishing the first session acts in folio format that year the second session of acts in folio in 1790 and the third session acts in 1791 along with a re-issue of the first session in folio which had already become scarce. These folio printings of the Acts of each session however were largely done for the members of Congress with few available to the public. In January 1791 Philadelphia printer Andrew Brown petitioned Congress to allow him to publish a collected octavo version "in such cheap forms as that every citizen of the United States may be able to procure them" and requesting that the publication be authorized by Congress to ensure their authenticity and correctness. A joint resolution of Congress approved by Washington would be passed on February 18 1791 allowing Brown "or such other printer" to print such an edition providing that the printer pay for the comparison of the proof sheets with the original rolls.<br /> <br /> Childs and Swaine who already had access to the original laws as the official printers quickly advertised for subscribers to their own octavo edition see for example the February 26 1791 issue of Dunlap's American Daily Advertiser but Brown would beat them to print publishing around the beginning of September 1791. The intention to continue the laws of each Congress in this format did not continue beyond this first volume by either Brown or Childs and Swaine though the idea would be revived by printer Richard Folwell in 1796-91.

188622219New York: Great American Tea Company 1886. Near fine. Original chromolithograph advertising poster 22 x 32 inches. A stunning print with exceptionally rich color archivally backed. Professional restoration to edges and a few small spots on the printed area. Near fine. "Ten minutes for refreshments!" was the well-known cry of railroad conductors across the United States before dining cars became common on trains. Hungry and thirsty passengers would rush off the train and into the depot where they scrambled to order and then bolt down their lunch under the watchful eye of conductor determined to keep the train on schedule. In this advertising print for the Great American Tea Company the conductor stands in the doorway with pocket watch in hand calming observing the chaos as customers all white men served by Black waiters frantically consume their food and beverages some leaving smashed crockery in their wake as they rush to re-board the train. Coffee is dispensed from urns advertising the company's Sultana Coffee and its baking powder and a giant sign on the wall reads "The Teas & Coffee used in this establishment are from the Great American Tea Co." Founded in New York City in 1859 the Great American Tea Company made its name using a direct-to-consumer sales approach that enabled them to offer quality tea at lower prices than found in retail shops. After a period of success selling mail-order to clubs they began opening their own storefronts which were sumptuously decorated in a Chinese-inspired style. In 1870 the company was renamed The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company better known today as A&P in honor of the newly completed transcontinental railroad but retained the Great American Tea Company name on its products thus the appearance of the older name in this 1886 print. The company was a major force in American advertising in the late 19th century using periodicals circulars trade cards and premiums to spread their name. This scarce poster is one of the finest examples of their effective and popular campaigns. Great American Tea Company unknown
