Redlich in "The Molding of American Banking" 1868 volume 1 page 308. "Isaac Bronson was a highly successful financier of the Jacksonian era who was also one of the period's most original and influential banking theorists. Bronson accumulated his very considerable fortune in New York primarily by judicious personal money-lending operations on long-term bonds and mortgages at a cautious 7 per cent annual return supplemented by successful ventures in land speculation. In addition to wealth he had by the 1830's acquired a weighty reputation for sober financial conservatism and was regarded as an authoritative exponent of sound banking principles. Prominent in the financial community he had long thrown his weight as a sound banking theorist against the "wild-cat" practices of the then rampant state banks." --Venit A. 1945.

188953609New York: Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Co. 1889. 1889. First edition. 3" x 5" pictorial map of Texas with a vignette of cowboys. Printed color. "In the late-1880s the Arbuckle Brothers Coffee Company began including colorful advertising "trade cards" inside their coffee packages. This was a popular advertising practice at the turn-of-the-century for many companies. Colorful and whimsical cards often printed as chromolithographs were attractive to Victorians obsessed with collecting - - they went in albums scrapbooks extra-illustrated texts and were traded among friends. This was also a time when postcards greeting cards calling cards rewards of merit and cartes-de-visites were all the rage. It was an age of ephemera. Arbuckle innovated on this craze by issuing their trade cards as collectible series - - banking on an idea that customers would choose to buy their coffee just to get the next card in a series. And they were right! Consumers loved completing the sets." Each card consisted of a map of a United States' state or territory with related illustrations on the front of the card and with information about a state on the verso. A complete collection would create Arbuckles' Illustrated Atlas of the United States of America. 1/4" closed tear to top edge and with light soiling and bump to 2 corners. Very good. Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Co., 1889. unknown

He began his education in art as early as 11 years of age. His first job putting his talent and training to use came in the form of an apprenticeship with the Milwaukee firm Marr & Richards where he stayed for 3 years drawing and engraving on wood. The subsequent years included many moves from Milwaukee to Chicago and later to New York where he studied at ASL and was encouraged by Professor Packard to pursue a career as an illustrator at a European school. Nichols left for Munich in October 1885 to attend the Royal Academy where he studied under Heckel became a member of the American Club and socialized with Carl von Marr the clubs president. He went to London for a little while and worked as an illustrator. By 1893 hed returned to New York working mostly in advertising and illustrating for Harpers Weekly and Century magazines. He helped organize the New York Water Color Club. Nichols didnt curb his parapatetic lifestyle until he moved to Laguna Beach California in 1894.
