[Literary Ephemera – Aesthetic Movement – Illustrated Sheet Music – Oscar Wilde] Snow, [arr]Biblio.com

Oscar Wilde Galop

1882List3658Boston Massachusetts: W. A. Evans & Bro 1882. Folio illustrated wraps. Pages detached from each other small chip to corner images and music fine remains good to very good and quite attractive. Good to very good. A visually striking example of Oscar Wildeâ€“related ephemera issued during the height of the writerâ€™s American lecture tour of 1882. Though lacking a printed date the title strongly suggests publication in connection with Wildeâ€™s appearance at the Boston Music Hall on January 31 1882 where he delivered his lecture â€œThe English Renaissanceâ€ as part of his widely publicized tour across the United States. Contemporary accounts describe the event as a notable cultural moment including the presence of Harvard students dressed in exaggerated aesthetic costume who occupied the front rows of the hall reflecting both the fascination with and satirical reception of Wildeâ€™s aesthetic persona.1 The lithographic cover prominently depicts a figure carrying an oversized sunflower an image closely associated with Wilde and the broader Aesthetic Movement. Such illustrated sheet music functioned not only as musical publications but also as collectible artifacts capitalizing on the figure of Wilde. Over the course of several months he traveled widely across the United States and Canada delivering lectures on art decoration and cultural taste and quickly became a subject of both admiration and parody in the American press. Although he never returned for a comparable national tour Wilde maintained a lasting connection to American audiences. We know of a variant edition of the Evans imprint with a different illustration as well as a different version published in Boston by Ditson the same year. OCLC 500491189 specifying this edition with the large sunflower illustration locating five copies. 1 â€œFreshmen at Oscar Wildeâ€™s Lectureâ€ The Harvard Crimson February 1 1882. W. A. Evans & Bro unknown

In 1842 she was secretly married to Joseph Smith under the "new dispensation" of plural marriage and in 1849 married his successor Brigham Young. She "served the very important function of putting Mormon history into verse. thus helping to build the folk beliefs so important in fostering group solidarity." DAB Her younger brother Lorenzo Snow 1814-1901 was an active convert and ardent missionary and became one of the dominant leaders of the Church. While this trip took them through Europe the most interesting aspects are the letters written describing the Holy Land the inhabitants holy places customsceremonies etc. as well as their impressions of Egypt Turkey Syria and other places of interest in this part of the world.

185267084Liverpool: F.D. Richards 1852. Pamphlet. Very Good. 24pp. Octavo 22 cm; unsewn pamphlet. 'Dr. Richards' written in contemporary ink at the upper right corner on the cover. Minor smudging and bumping along the margins and edges a couple of small pinholes at left margin and some light staining and foxing throughout; still in very good condition. This is the first state of this work with the word "are" printed as the first word in the last paragraph of page iv. We located eight institutional holdings at the time of cataloguing. Uncommon. According to Crawley "the pamphlet opens with an exchange of correspondence between Willard Richards and Zerubbabel Snow an associate justice of Utah Territory with Snow's opinion that Brigham Young proceeded properly in taking the census and organizing the territorial legislature prior to the arrival of the territorial appointees - all reprinted from the Deseret News of November 29 1851. Next are the plea of George A. Smith in defense of Howard Egan at Egan's trial before Snow for the murder of James Monroe and Snow's charge to the jury. These are followed by the text of the act of organizing Utah Territory and the names of the territorial officers appointed by Millard Fillmore September 28 1850. The preface signed by Franklin D. Richards and dated March 12 1852 opens with the declaration: "The following compilation may be considered a complete refutation of the charges contained in the Report of the returned Judges for Utah against His Excellency Governor Brigham Young and the citizens of that Territory" - a reference to the tract 'Polygamy Revived in the West' which Lowe had used in his lecture. And in the next-to-last paragraph: "The Organic Act is also introduced that all who wish may know the foundation upon which the organization and government of the Territory of Utah rests.'"
