191915386AB1919. 1919. 335 : 50 cm. Original lithograph in green grey and brown signed in the stone in the lower left part. Alfred Gerstenbrand 18. Februar 1881 in Wien Österreich-Ungarn; 7. Jänner 1977 in Melk Niederösterreich war ein österreichischer Maler Graphiker Illustrator Schriftsteller und Karikaturist. - Alfred Gerstenbrand studierte an der Wiener Kunstgewerbeschule bei Felician Myrbach Kolo Moser und Josef Hoffmann ergriff aber aus Zweifel an der eigenen Begabung den Brotberuf eines Beamten im Finanzministerium den er bis zur Pensionierung ausübte. Bei der Kunstschau 1908 fielen seine Karikaturen bzw. ironischen Porträts von Gustav Klimt und Sigmund Freud auf. Im Ersten Weltkrieg wurde er verwundet und war daraufhin zeitlebens auf einen Gehstock angewiesen. 1918 fand er Aufnahme in die Secession deren Vizepräsident er nach geraumer Zeit wurde. Gerstenbrand hielt Kontakt zur Zinkenbacher Malerkolonie und befreundete sich mit den Familien Frisch Gerngross Heller Herz-Kestranek und Wiesenthal die im Salzkammergut Urlaub machten später auch mit dem österreichischen Außenminister Gruber. In der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus war er 1941 1943 und 1944 auf der Großen Deutschen Kunstausstellung in München mit vier Bildern vertreten und für das NS-Regime als Ausstellungskurator tätig knüpfte aber letztlich Kontakt zum Widerstand. Er war Mitarbeiter der satirischen Zeitschrift Muskete. Zu Kriegsende soll Gerstenbrand seine Wahlheimat Sankt Gilgen am Wolfgangsee vor einem bevorstehenden Angriff durch US-Truppen bewahrt und eine friedliche Übergabe des Ortes vermittelt haben. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg hielt er sich meist in St. Gilgen auf wo er anfangs ähnlich wie andere Wirtshausmaler in jener Zeit im Gegenzug für die wochenlange Verköstigung im Restaurant Zum goldenen Ochs Wandmalereien herstellte so im Speisesaal des ersten Stocks und im Mozartstüberl. In diesen Werken porträtierte er auch Bürger von St. Gilgen und berühmte Urlaubsgäste des Orts wie Clark Gable die Dietrich und Susi Nicoletti. - Small bends at the edges. unknown

From Wikipedia: "The Chapman Stick is an electric musical instrument devised by Emmett Chapman in the early 1970s. A member of the guitar family the Chapman Stick usually has ten or twelve individually tuned strings and has been used on music recordings to play bass lines melody lines chords or textures. Designed as a fully polyphonic chordal instrument it can also cover several of these musical parts simultaneously. It can sound many more notes at once than some other stringed instruments making it more comparable to a keyboard instrument than to other stringed instruments. This arrangement lends itself to playing many lines at once and many Stick players have mastered performing bass chords and melody lines simultaneously.". 1st ed No additional printings listed.

1865List2532New York: Wm. A. Pond 1865. Folio 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Fine condition. Fine. An unusual use of sheet music as satire with the lithographed cover showing a fake stock certificate. The cover - engraved by Major & Knapp - advertises an ownership share in the Spondolix Petroleum company and states that F.B. Helmsmuller who was actually a noted composer was the “Treasurer and General Manager†of the company. This is a particularly fine example of the piece. In our research we found several references to this piece as being a real stock certificate for a real company however this is clearly a parody of the oil business. This was printed in 1865 when the Pennsylvania oil industry was booming and the engraved illustration appears to show a countryside scene in Pennsylvania or somewhere similar. Four copies in OCLC. Wm. A. Pond unknown

Extremities rubbed some occasional toning and spotting generally a very good sound collection of Victorian songs. The Ethiopian Serenaders was an American blackface minstrel troupe successful in the 1840s and 1850s. Through various line-ups they were managed and directed by James A. Dumbolton c.1808– and are sometimes mentioned as the Boston Minstrels Dumbolton Company or Dumbolton's Serenaders. In late 1845 with line-up changes but retaining Germon and Stanwood the Serenaders left for a tour in England and possibly Ireland. An advertisement in The Times referred to their first concert to be held at the Hanover Square Rooms on 21 January 1846. The performers were Francis Carr Germon Moody G. Stanwood Gilbert Pelham or Pell; the younger brother of Dick Pelham with whom he had previously performed George Alfred Harrington and George Warren White. Pelham played bones and was the lead clown; Harrington bass and White baritone sang and played banjo a newly introduced instrument at the time; Stanwood tenor played accordion; and Germon alto played tambourine and sang comic ballads.9 Their songs included "Buffalo Gals" "Lucy Neal" and "Old Dan Tucker". For most of 1846 they performed regularly at the St James's Theatre in London. They played in taverns and theatres as well as private concerts for the aristocracy; they appeared before the Duke of Devonshire and by special command played before Queen Victoria and the Duke of Wellington at Arundel Castle. Music hall historian Harold Scott wrote of them: "They charmed principally by their gentility and this impression was heightened by the fact that they appeared in conventional tail coats and white waistcoats." The Era reported that "their songs are of a melodious and artistic nature. Several of the company possess quite good voices and the comedians manage to get the utmost fun out of their business without resorting to vulgarity in any form". In England they were frequently mistaken for real black men a misconception they always denied asserting that they had not the "least drop of black blood in their veins"; accordingly "they lost no time in published portraits of themselves with the white faces bestowed upon them by nature." The troupe's performances represented "the high point of minstrelsy's success in early Victorian Britain". However in their absence abroad rivals such as the Christy Minstrels gained a following in the United States. Upon their return from England in 1847 the Spirit of the Times wrote that the Serenaders' formal style in music and dress was too refined for audiences accustomed to the ribald humour of the Christys. Of a Serenaders' performance the article said ". we listen and are pleased but leave with little desire to return." At Christys "we listen and laugh and desire to go again and again." 1.
