USS Maine colour lithograph published in 1898 commemorating the sinking of the tragic ship which triggered the Spanish-American War reverse mounted on glass with brass chain frame.

189554270Boston MA: F.N. Atwood c. 1895 1898. One colour lithograph reverse mounted on glass sized 8 x 13 in. fitted with brass chain frame and hanger possibly used as chimney flue cover minor edgewear to glass minor soiling to chain very minor spotting dustsoiling still an excellent piece w/ bright strong image. The USS Maine ACR-1 was launched in 1895 and was an armored cruiser together with her near-sister ship USS Texas with two gun turrets staggered en echelon rather than on the centerline with fore gun sponsoned out on the starboard side of the ship. As she took seven years to build she was out of date upon launching. She sailed with the North Atlantic Squadron operating from Norfolkd along the East Coast and the Caribbean. Feb. 15 1898 an explosion obliterated the forward third of the ship killing 260 sailors and the Spanish-American War began in April 1898 two months later. Atwood b. 1844 was a Massachusetts nautical maritime painter who operated studios in Boston and Maine and painted the original for Brigadier General H.A. Wheeler in 1895 and in 1898 the colour print was issued as a patriotic souvenir. Victorian flue covers were used after the chimney flues were removed in 19th-century homes following Winter and often served as an advertising giveaway. F.N. Atwood, unknown

This document has been in my possession since the 1940's. It was acquired from Forrest L. Morton who had no children to pass it on to. About 15 or so years ago this document was taken to a book-binder preserver and a fee of around $100.00 was paid to further preserve the paper document. It would need to be shipped in a round tubed container. I do not at this time have the ability to put out pictures.

ALS Maine House Member M.M. Rawson Reports to Gubernatorial Candidate on Corruption in the Vote for Governor

185545251Augusta House Augusta ME 1855. Very good folded small tear to one edge minor soiling and ink bleed through. 3 pp. Bifolium. 8 x 10 inches. Letter dated January 4th 1855 one day after the Maine elections from Maubec Mitchell Rawson newly elected Whig member of the Maine House of Representatives to fellow Whig party member and candidate for Governor Isaac Reed reporting on the efforts to fix the vote in favor of Reed's opponent Anson Morrill. Rawson had been appointed as a member of a gubernatorial committee that morning so was privy to the shenanigans: "Much talk is made about the course which some members of the Senate & House wish to pursue. I tell them I have no objections to throwing out the votes in the Hancock Plantation & thereby elect or in any way assist Mr. Milliken but to throw them all out & by so doing disfranchise some thousand & declare Mr. Morrill elected by the people. I tell them such a course will be suicidal to the great American party which Mr. Reed & myself are one." He goes on to report who is opposed to these moves and who might be witnesses: "When I see you I will inform you who are the men who are so conscientious about this matter. I am perfectly quiet & cool but I have been at work. most of the time for the last 24 hours. They the Committee propose to spend the night in the committee room so as to have it said that we are doing up business in shape but they are more anxious to declare Mr. Morill Gov by the dear people. I have heard nothing from you but I think my course is patriotic or an honest one & I shall pursue it unless you suggest otherwise. Don't show my letters to anyone.
