Washington's Inauguration Our First President 1789; and below the title "Copyright by Back Number Budd 1280 Broadway N. Y." In a modern frame with glaze not examined out of the frame. This newspaper has an account of Washington's first inauguration on Thursday April 30 1789. As such has been reprinted several times as the Centennial approached and after. In this case this reprint was done by "Back Number" Budd a colored New York former boot black who started by collecting news paper accounts of recent Civil War Battles and would travel to the front to sell them to Union troops who participated in those battles. This small business blossomed until he eventually accumulated several million back issues of newspapers dating back to the 1820's with several hundred thousand magazines. He had 3 employees and was the only source nation-wide of back issue daily newspapers quite the accomplishment for an uneducated black citizen of the 19th century. Disaster struck shortly after the publication of this Inaugural facsimile when his warehouse burned down in 1895. Interviewed in The British Printer Budd laments the loss of over 14 million newspapers but vows to rebuild from the ashes. . Back Number Budd unknown

1840148887London: Henry Hooper 1840. First edition of this essay highlighting George Cruikshank’s artistic skill and cultural significance in early Victorian Britain. Octavo bound in three-quarters morocco by J. McDonald of New York with gilt titles and tooling to the spine gilt ruling to the front and rear panels gilt stamped facsimile signature of Cruikshank on the front panel all edges gilt marbled endpapers tissue-guarded frontispiece illustrated with 17 tissue-guarded black and white etched plates by George Cruikshank. In near fine condition. An Essay on the Genius of Cruikshank published in The Westminster Review in 1840 is an early critical appraisal of George Cruikshank’s artistic achievements and cultural influence. Written at a time when caricature was often dismissed as ephemeral or merely humorous the essay situates Cruikshank’s work within a broader artistic and moral framework praising his sharp political insight his ability to capture the nuances of everyday life and his growing reputation as a serious illustrator of literature. By highlighting his transition from biting political satire to celebrated book illustration particularly his collaborations with authors such as Charles Dickens the review both legitimizes caricature as a form of social commentary and cements Cruikshank’s position as one of the most significant visual commentators of early Victorian Britain.

189235628Bournemouth: January 19th 1892. 1892. Very good. - Over 160 words penned on 4 sides of a folded sheet of creamy white paper the letter measuring 7-1/8 inches high by 4-1/2 inches wide. In his letter penned from the Mount Dore Hotel in Bournemouth England Sir Edward Bruce Hamley first expresses his appreciation for the kindness Mrs. Ford has shown his niece and for her having inquired concerning his health. He responds that "though my health is very well restored yet the disorder in my chest causing sometimes much shortness of breath still continues and disables me for active exertion." He goes on to relate that when he came to London to see Dr. Kidd over the Winter he was "much the worse for it". "I have faired till Easter and shall not till then attempt to stay for any time in town." Having previously thanked Mrs. Ford for the information regarding Mrs. Curzon Howe's Chambers" he is concerned that he might be advised to go out of town and "It would therefore be rash to take the responsibility of permanent chambers at present." Hamley goes on to say: "I hope that you and the Ambassador Mary Ford's step-son are pleased with his transfer - As you are fond of travelling . and when you get there you would be pleased indeed with the scenery of the Bosphorous - April is I should say the best month". He is glad to hear that Mrs. Mary Ford thinks well of his "niece's miniatures". Lacking for space Hamley returns to the margin of the first page to express his closing wishes vertically overlapping the opening sentences of his letter and signs himself "Edward Hamley". Folded for mailing with some very minor faint foxing. Glue stains along the edge of the last page and a thin strip of paper along the left edge of the first page slightly obscures Mrs. Ford's name which is penned vertically in the left margin. Apparently the letter was once tipped into an album. Very good. <p>Sir Edward Bruce Hamley 1824-1893 served in the Crimean War. He was professor of military history at the Staff College Sandhurst from 1858 to 1877 and was Commandant of the College from 1870-1877. He was chief of the commission for the delimitation of the Balkan and Armenian frontiers 1879-80 and commanded a division in the Egyptian war of 1882. He was promoted to General in 1890. Hamley was Member of Parliament for Birkenhead from 1885 until his death in 1893.<p>In addition to works on the Crimean War and his military manual "The Operations of War" Hamley was a short-story writer and poet a translator of French verse and the author of a novel "Lady Lee's Widowhood".<p>The letter comes from the autograph collection of Mrs. Mary Ford widow of Richard Ford who wrote the popular "Handbook for Travellers in Spain". The autograph collection known as the Pencarrow Collection was formed from the 1850s onwards largely by Mary Ford in her long period of widowhood.<p>Richard Ford's son and thus Mary Ford's step-son Sir Francis Clare Ford GCB GCMG PC 1828-1899 was an English diplomat.

He represented the British government before the Halifax Fisheries Commission and then went on to serve as Minister to the Argentine Republic to Uruguay and similar posts in Rio de Janeiro and Athens.

He congratulates her on becoming "the Mistress of Pencarrow" her family's estate and her childhood home. He goes on to complain about the House of Commons workload though "we are not quite such slaves as we were last year." <p>The manuscript leaf is from Hamley's novel "Lady Lee's Widowhood" and is headed "Chap. II." The page which ends in mid-sentence describes the morning toiletries of two women characters. The first sentence of the extract reads: "Rosa constitutionally an early riser used to be always up before Orelia in the morning until the latter took it into her head to have a shower-bath fitted up in the closet that opened from their room."<p>Sir Edward Bruce Hamley 1824-1893 served in the Crimean War.
