18038839NY: Michael Burnham 1803. Periodical. Good. The original paper letterpress printed on laid paper good plus; the bottom left corner is missing no loss of text and there are some black smudges on the inner pages but all is legible. Left side shows signs of removal from a folio binding. No foxing. Most interesting is an article on page 2 on the execution in Britain of Edward Marcus Despard 'The Unfortunate Colonel Despard'. He was hanged then beheaded with his head held up for exhibit before about 20000 spectators. There seems to be no evidence even today regarding his guilt or innocence of the treason charge. The articles prints his last words in which he declares his innocence and closes: "May it be the last account of such a nature that shall appear in this or any other paper!" Originally Despard and his 'conspirators' were sentenced to be drawn and quartered as well; the editor was spared describing that. The last page contains a silly poem recent acts of the Seventh Congress under Jefferson land sales and writs of attachment. <br/> <br/> Michael Burnham unknown

These plates are cardboard constructions or models on which a pattern was printed. This pattern must be cut out then assembled to construct various objects or life scenes. The Épinal printing house published several series of cut-out models including the ""Grandes Constructions"" in 39 x 49 cm format the ""Moyennes Constructions"" and the ""Petites Constructions"". From 1880 to 1908 constructions were published featuring architecture costumes boats and various vehicles. During this same period paper theaters or ""théâtre chez soi"" also enjoyed great success. This toy model developed and endured until the Second World War. Once sold by peddlers Épinal prints owe their name to Jean-Charles Pellerin who was the first printer to publish this type of image in series and who lived in the town of Épinal Vosges. The subjects are very varied but generally revolve around religion history French Revolution battles military uniforms or drawn from successful novels. Épinal imagery has its origins in popular imagery a folk art born in the 15th century intended primarily for the illiterate rural public. Originally the image was engraved on a wooden plate and printing was carried out using a hand press. It was then colored using stencils. In the 19th century lead castings were made from the engraved wood: stereotypes which allowed production to be increased. In 1820 lithography was adopted which induced a radical change in style with finer drawings. In 1900 coloring was still done with stencils thanks to a machine that could color 300 images per hour the Aquatype. Pellerin unknown
