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
73244An archive of hundreds of letters bills receipts and other legal documents from the family of Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda dating from 1786 to 1880. This branch of the Fonda family traces its roots back to New York in 1651 when Jellis Fonda migrated from the Netherlands with his wife and four children. His grandson Douw Jellis Fonda 1700-1780 is considered the founder of the Dutch village now named Fonda about 30 miles west of Albany. He lived a long and prosperous life as a farmer and merchant but was killed at age 79 during a raid by the British Army aided by the Mohawk Indians.<br /> <br /> This collection includes two early hand-drawn property maps of some of the Fonda-owned lands. One of the undated maps completed for John Fonda shows part of Mayfield with lots drawn and numbered. The second map also undated shows acreage for the heirs of A. Fonda except 150 acres sold to John C. Smith and 100 acres sold to David and Samuel Loomis.<br /> <br /> The earliest material in this collection is connected to Douw Jellis Fonda’s six children and grandchildren following the American Revolution. They were leaders in their community serving as judges state elected officials and military officers. There are five handwritten legal documents signed by various members of the family related to the payment of bonds associated with the appointment of loan officers and treasury officials for Montgomery County between 1786 and 1792. At the conclusion of the war the New York Legislature passed laws placing taxes on land and personal estates of all inhabitants in order to defray war expenses discharge its debts and support the state government. Supervisors of each county appointed individuals to "superintend" the raising of taxes within their respective counties. These documents include:<br /> <br /> April 19 1786 three-page document signed by Judge Jellis Fonda on pages two and three concerning a 12000-pound bond for the appointment of Peter Schuyler as one of the Montgomery County loan officers<br /> <br /> May 9 1786 document of three pages concerning Jellis Fonda’s bond in the amount of 12000 pounds for the appointment of his son Douw Fonda as one of the Montgomery County loan officers<br /> <br /> January 8 1787 document of one and a half pages concerning Adam Fonda’s bond in the amount of 5000 pounds providing surety for Douw Fonda as treasurer of Montgomery County<br /> <br /> June 29 1791 one-page document signed by Adam Fonda and Douw Fonda providing 4000 pounds as surety for John Yates to be the treasurer of Montgomery County<br /> <br /> May 2 1792 document of two and a quarter pages signed by Douw Fonda Adam Fonda and John Fonda providing a 9400 pounds surety bond for Douw Fonda as a Montgomery County loan officer<br /> <br /> This collection also includes a group of documents associated with Henry Fonda 1766-1828 who fought in the War of 1812 and was appointed Brigadier General of the 11th Infantry in 1820. During 1807 1816 and 1819 he was a member of the New York State Legislature representing the Fourth Senatorial District of Tryon County. This collection includes two printed broadsides headed “Brigade Orders†issued by him calling regiments to rendezvous and parade “for military exercise and improvement†in 1826 and 1828. There are also 20 handwritten bills and receipts dating from 1792 to 1824 for various items he purchased ranging from flannel to gin and three holographic legal documents for funds he was owed. An additional four letters in the collection were written to Henry addressed variously as major colonel and general dating from 1813 to 1828. Among them is a three-page letter from Daniel Cockstock dated March 6 1826 contemplating the impacts of various new stage routes in the region.<br /> <br /> Another group of more than 120 letters receipts and other documents is connected to Henry’s brother Peter Fonda 1802-74 who was a merchant and hotel keeper ran a stagecoach for a period worked as a contractor and helped build roads in the community. There are several letters about his stagecoach work including seat reservations purchasing horses schedules and even lost luggage. On January 4 1832 he received a letter about Theophilius Williams’ lost trunk. “I understand by a letter from him that he left a description of it at your house offering five dollars to the finder which I will send to you immediately if found together with all accompany expenses incurred in the search and pay your bill for the same whether found or not if you will give your assistance†Levi Williams wrote.<br /> <br /> Among the letters is one from Peter’s wife Gertrude written to him in 1838 while he was in Rome building a bridge across the Mohawk River. “I want you to look out for yourself…don’t depend on others you may lose keep your people sober.†she wrote. A handwritten contract with officials from Rome dated January 1839 outlines the specifications for the bridge. He is also among a dozen men listed on a 1862 patent included in this collection for an improvement in pumps.<br /> <br /> A variety of other miscellaneous documents are provided in the archive including:<br /> <br /> An 1870 poll book for Fonda Montgomery County. The first eight pages are printed and provide a “plan of organization and action†to “effect change of administration at the President election of November 1872.†Voters names are listed on six pages with P.H. Fonda’s at the end.<br /> <br /> A printed receipt completed in manuscript issued by the state of New York treasurer’s office on April 9 1816 to Simon Vedder for Douw Fonda<br /> <br /> An eighth page handwritten receipt dated December 20 1790 received from Adam Fonda<br /> <br /> A one-page handwritten poem by Lavina Fonda dated June 9 1816 written on the death of a schoolmate<br /> <br /> A small note signed by Adam Fonda dated September 17 1838 requesting Peter Fonda pay $15 to Robert Bahanan<br /> <br /> A printed document with holographic notes for the lease of property dated October 9 1855 and signed by Aminta K.

Testo di Philip Brookman. Fotografie in bianco e nero di Arnold Newman. Biografia. Cm 32x305. pp. 230. Perfetto Mint. Prima edizione First Edition. <em>Quando il celebre fotografo <strong>Arnold Newman</strong> avvià"; la sua carriera nel 1938 in catene di studi dedicati al ritratto a Filadelfia Baltimora e West Palm Beach iniziò" subito anche a fare fotografia astratta e documentaria per conto suo studiando <strong>persone e luoghi impoveriti dalla Depressione</strong>. Nel giugno del 1941 Beaumont Newhall del Museum of Modern Art di New York e Alfred Stieglitz lo "scoprirono" organizzandogli una mostra con Ben Rose alla A.D. Gallery. Lì"; Newman iniziò a combinare il suo lavoro indipendente con la ritrattistica che era il suo pane quotidiano sviluppando l'approccio per il quale è" meglio conosciuto che venne chiamato <strong>"ritrattistica ambientale" </strong>e che è"; così ampiamente influente oggi che potrebbe essere considerata un modello standard di fotografia. Questo stile fece di Newman un collaboratore fisso su riviste come <strong>Life Vanity Fair e il New York Times Magazine</strong> e lo portò" nelle collezioni dei musei di tutto il mondo. Le fotografie qui raccolte furono realizzate prima che Newman ottenesse riconoscimenti come ritrattista pioniere durante gli anni formativi dal 1938 al 1942. Esse mettono in evidenza i primi stimoli di un grande maestro della fotografia.<br /></em> Steidl - Howard Greenberg Gallery, hardcover

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.
