The patent was given to him for printing colour lithographs from four stones using just black blue yellow and red in a version of the technique perfected by French intaglio colour printers in the eighteenth century. Engelmann who had been a leading pioneer of monochrome lithography in France was now poised for showing the way forward for commercial colour printing. The success of chromolithography depends on the immensely skilful process of separating each image into its four constituent colours. These calendars clearly show the style of this new technique.</p>

1890List1620Mostly New England: Various Photographers 1890. Cabinet cards measuring 6 ½ x 4 ¼ inches. Various settings showing the band members posed with their instruments including banjos violins trumpets drum and tubas. Varying wear but generally very good with some normal age-related fading. Very Good. Originally from Lawrenceville New York the Shepard Family Band toured throughout the Northeast in the 1880s and 1890s eventually settling in South Royalton Vermont. All members of the family were apparently musically inclined: “In addition to Minnie mother and matriarch Mary “Minnie†Shepard and her husband patriarch James Monroe Shepard all of the children were pressed into service. Daughter Laura Belle the ‘violiniste’ was getting better all the time under the instruction of a ‘competent master.’ Her fans “will be astonished at the improvement in style tone and expression.†It was said of little Lessie that ‘Among lady cornetists she has no equal.’ The darling little son of the family Master Burtie could not help but please for he was well-known to be ‘The youngest Tuba soloist in the world; only nine years of age; scarcely larger than the instrument he plays.’ He was also a ‘clever comedian singer and character artist.†The baby little Flossie “a sweet little miss of four summers’ was said to be a “wonderful mimic and impersonator…a veritable little fairy.’ Daughters Kittie and Georgia were also part of the troupe.†- Henry Sheldon Museum. A very nice collection. Various Photographers unknown
184820000275Amity & Woodbridge CT 1848. General wear. Letter folds some separation at folds. A collection of approximately thirty-eight 38 pieces of ephemera relating to the Clark family of Amity CT. The the bulk of materials dating from the 1790s to the 1810s. The majority of the collection focuses on the patriarch of the family Lazarus Clark 1795-1818 following his death the remaining materials relate to his sons Jeremiah Andrew and William or one of his grandsons Alinzaor Jeremiah's son.<br /> <br /> The collection mostly consists of <br /> <br /> Receipts and payment intent - fourteen 14 in number which were short financial agreements between Lazarus and other gentlemen in which he agreed to pay with "lawful money" the debt he owed. Several make reference to a time frame in which he had to pay back the debt such as sixty days or one year at which times there is also reference to paying an interest on the debt. It appears as though once Lazarus would pay of the amount owed he would either rip off or cut out his name from the note so that the note was no longer valid. There are a few notes of this nature between his sons and/or grandsons and their debtors. Measures 6 1/2" x 3 3/4" sample. <br /> <br /> Itemized Invoices for goods and servic -There are approximately a dozen detailed bills belonging to Lazarus in which individual items itemized out varying in length from a few items to to the majority with full page itemizations over 40 items Some examples of the items and amounts purchased are: quart lisbon wine silk & thread for Patty Lazarus' daughter 5 yards linen and half a pound of sushen tea.

Names of Woodbridge's citizens listed alphabetically with some sort of unidentified adjacent checkmarks. It appears that it might have something to do with the town's taxes as on the back of the book is written "It was voted by the inhabitants of the town of Woodbridge at their meeting in December 18 1786 and for a period thereafter rate to be paid the First of April next." There are short notes beside some of the names indicating if the amount was paid though sometimes these notes state that it was paid by a different individual than the one named. Measures 6 1/4" x 3 1/4". <br /> <br /> There several loose papers filled out in a similar manner one of the smallest of which does say "Amity Bill 1795". On one of these pieces it appears as though the amount owed was divided up between ten men. Their names amount owed and the calculations done in order to figure out the amount owed by each individual are recorded. Another item is a letter dated August 19th 1805 from David Brown of Derby. The letter concerns a tippet that Mrs. Hotchkiss took and destroyed and Brown appears to have been writing Lazarus in the hopes that he would help to resolve the matter before Brown would be forced to "putting of it in suit without any further delay." This letter supports along with the possible tax records that Lazarus held some sort of important position within the town however the exact position is never specified either within the items in collection or the research done on Lazarus himself. <br /> <br /> The collection also contains a second booklet with four pages of content including a similar list of names plus six pages of genealogical records such as marriage birth and death dates. The remainder is blank.<br /> The last three pieces of ephemera in the collection are relating to the sale or transfer of land in the area however only one of which names a Clark within the text. In that document it relates the sale of Dible Farm to a William Clark in 1828. Of the two land agreements not naming a Clark one is the deed to the piece of property called Green Farms in Fairfield CT and the other is a copy of the land deed for a property belonging to a Joseph Syler. There is even a short note on the back of this copy which states "Fees for Searching records & Copy $ 0=25 sic". Measures 12" x 7 3/4" sample. <br /> <br /> One piece has a small note on the back along with these practice signatures which has the appearance of a short diary entry discussing the day's weather before it ends abruptly. <br /> <br /> To view the collection please click on the following link: <br /> https://photos.app.goo.gl/2FDfC2yTTX6c2Fyd8. Lazarus Clark was among one of the first settlers of the town of Amity in Connecticut and he even swore an oath of fidelity to this end in 1784 along with all the other citizens of the town. The town of Amity is no longer in existence today however it was located in what is now part of Bethany Orange and New Haven with the majority of it located in Woodbridge CT. In fact the house Lazarus Clark built for his family in 1795 which still stands today is in Woodbridge CT. Due to Lazarus' being a part of the founding settlers of the town he was one of its prominent citizens and there are indications in the town records that he was a Deacon at the local parish. <br /> <br /> <br /> Lazarus Clark was born on December 23 1745 in Milford CT to David Clark 1713-1800 and Hannah Peck 1716-1815.

The majority of the letters are send to Ireland Depot which was the name of the town's post office from the mid 1840s to mid 1850s. The letters date from 1847 to 1857 with the bulk of the correspondence between 1848 to 1850 and between Lovina H. Fay Emerson 1822-1897 and her friend Catherine A. George Bates 1826-1879. Eight of the letters are folded stampless posts the other three have their corresponding envelopes.<br /> <br /> The six letters written by Catherine A. George Bates to Lovina which start in 1847 congratulating Lovina on her recent marriage to William. The letters discuss a variety of topics but the main thread is Catherine's conversion to Christianity her conversion in 1848 along with Catherine's friend Susan Pond local events updates on sickness in the area highlights being the death of Catherine's nephew due to dysentery her father's bout with typhoid fever and her own bout with the mumps and Catherine's rather unsuccessful attempt to comfort Lovina on the upcoming birth of her first child by telling her of the death of Susan Pond's newborn twin boys. <br /> <br /> There are three letters from Paesiello Emerson 1832-1927 to his sister Mary Frances Emerson 1833-1853 who are William's children from his first marriage. Paesiello had moved from the family homestead to Ashland MA for work while Mary was still living with their father and his new wife Lovina in Holyoke MA. Paesiello writes updating his sister on his life such as sleigh rides and his new membership in the local division of the Sons of Temperance while also poetically waxing about nature and the changing of seasons. <br /> <br /> The last two letters in the collection are one-offs. The first is to William Emerson the patriarch of the family about a shipment of lumber being send to him and the request for payment. Depending on the census record William is either a carpenter or farmer. The last letter is from a C. B. Angier a distant relative of Lovina her mother's maiden name is Angier and provides a short update on their life. <br /> <br /> Below are excerpts from the letters:<br /> <br /> "I think I felt the importance of religion I saw myself to be a great sinner but I did not want you to know it. I remember well one Sunday evening there was quite a number went forward for prayer. I felt as if I must go I tried to stand but Satan whispered in my ear that if I went no one would believe that I was in earnest that I could do it better where I was & I listened to him and sat still. I think now if I had broken away from him then I might have found peace. You thought I was indifferent I was miserable for I was trying to be a Christian and have no one know it." - Catherine A. George Bates to her friend Lovina H. Fay Emerson June 22 1848<br /> <br /> "It has been quite sickly about us one little child buried today. One case in particular I must tell you a lady 35 years old on who belonged in this neighborhood & always lived with her parents who are quite aged was married & went to her home with every prospect of happiness before she had scarcely begun to enjoy it was called to die just 4 weeks from the day she was married she was buried at the same place where she stood a bride she lay a corpse." - Catherine A. George Bates to her friend Lovina H. Fay Emerson September 21 1848<br /> <br /> "I have just finished loading the lumber for you. A part of the boards are not such as I stands sp have had you but they are at the depot. I though I would send them there are 2330 fit sic I also send more of the short timbers which you will please see that it is unloaded & kept safety. What you can not sell please send me the money for the lumber as fast as possibly convenient and greatly oblige." - H. Williams to William Emerson May 1 1849<br /> <br /> ". I came home I found little Frank that is Brother Hiram's youngest child very sick with Dysentery. He had not been well for a week or two before he had 10 teeth besides there were his stomach teeth & two others were swollen very hard which caused his sickness. The Doctor said it was a very doubtful case. Mother & others that saw him said he could not get well. I thought perhaps he might altho I knew he was very sick. Wednesday he seemed considerably better. Thursday he was very restless. Friday everything he took he vomited. The disease had gone to his head he would throw it from one side to the other in dreadful distress through the day. Saturday his hands & feet were very cold could not warm them thought he could no live the night out but by rubbing he seemed to get a little rest. He was so thirsty could raise himself & grasp the tumbler & look so wistful as if he thought we could help him the Dr. told us he thought he would have spasms but he did not he grew weaker and weaker until about 6 o'clock Sunday night. Mother was over him & noticed a change & called to us it was but to see him gasp his last breath. He had turned his eyes towards the window and thus without a groan or struggle he fell asleep in the arms of his savior just like the going down of the sun altho set forever to this world it shall dawn in a bright & better world as I gaxed sic upon him now still in death & kissed his cold lips I said is this death As this was the first I ever witnessed. The impression I received is pleasant Oh! that I may so live that when I die it may be as well with me as I believe it is with him. the mother appears calm & resigned to this event as well as looking forward to a time not far distant when another treasure may be sent to her I shall feel very anxious to hear from you after you receive this as the critical time of which spoke is near at hand. You must keep could courage Lovina is pregnant with her first child will be born in October 1849. Friend Susan was very sick when her children were born only think she had two sons one weighted 3 1/2 the other 7 pounds. The latter was dead the little one lived two days. She was so disappointed when it died she got a long remarkably well herself & has been very well during the summer. I wish you could see her it would do you good she wished me to give you her love and good wishes. I think I have not written you since the California fever has done such destructive work carrying off its hundreds and thousands from their homes and the enjoyments of life where and for what do they thus sacrifice their lives For gold that shall perish it appears strange to me that so many are ready to leave all & go. I am thankful there has none of my relations gone as yet but numbers of friends & acquaintances have gone. Some have arrived there & others that have not been heard from. " - Catherine A. George Bates to her friend Lovina H. Fay Emerson September 23 1849<br /> <br /> "I haven't anything to do and have not had much for two months past I have carved my earned my board and that is about all. If I don't have something to do before long I shall be sick or crazy or something else. But there are signs of business being better before a great while. I still board at Mr. Montague and I think I shall as long as they will keep me. Last Friday I took a sleigh ride about five miles with another person who I shall not name here. It being a pleasant afternoon we had a first rate time and got home at last safe and sound." - George P. Emerson to Miss Mary Emerson January 4 1850<br /> <br /> "But spring has come and with it pretty blue birds how pretty they sing in the morning. Winter has gone and with it the cold blistering days and nights with its long evenings and cold snows. Summer will soon be here with its long hot sultry days and soon will be the days when we shall hear the distant muttering thunder and see the dark black clouds with its forked lighting. I joined the Division of Sons of Temperance four weeks ago last night and I like them very much." - George P. Emerson to Miss Mary Emerson April 2 1850<br /> <br /> "Your letter came to hand soon after date it found me watching by the sick bed of my dear Father he was taken sick the week after I came home with Typhoid fever. he complained of his dead did not seem to know or remember anything said it did not seem like his own head. the Dr. came but not do anything for him we dismissed him & called another & one to consult & before night they bled & blistered him & give him medicine which roused him he would talk one day about everything did not know us at all the next would sleep all day so sound that we could not wake him. my health has been good except about 3 weeks I had the mumps they went to my head & I had sores in my ears it was bad but I felt so anxious about Father that I did not mind it." - - Catherine A.

171820000417Utica NY 1817-1832. General wear. Some separation at letter folds and along edges. A collection of six letters between the mother and children of the Angier family originally of Southborough MA. The most consistent part of the letters is opening with an apology from the children for failing to write their mother Elizabeth Angier and how this failure means that they have neglected her in some way. The letters date were generally send from upstate New York from towns near Utica NY such as Whitestone and Frankfort where several of the siblings namely Mary Elizabeth and Sabrina had relocated to. It appears as though one of the older daughters after marrying Augustus Baldwin 1794-1880 in 1815 moved to Whitestone NY to start a family. As the years continued several of Mary's siblings such as Elizabeth and Sabrina who never married moved to the area to for better marriage and job prospects. Two of the six letters are between a pair of the siblings. The letters generally consist of updates on their lives family and friends as well as numerous religious missives and some mention of their jobs mostly teaching that the sisters were engaged in. Additionally in some of the letters the siblings have written missives addressed to their siblings still living in Southborough. All of the letters are folded stampless posts. Measures 5" x 3 1/2" folded. Below are excerpts from some of the letters: "We were presented with a daughter 14th Nov but alas! She is not that joy or comfort we so much hope for we have been called to a bitter trial God in his infinite goodness has seen fit to afflict us in taking our child by death our afflictions are sent to try us and oh that they mite sic prove a blessing to us that we mite sic feel reconciled under all the alotments sic of divine providence in submission to his will and that we might in full submission say the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away and blessed be the name of the Lord." - February 2 1817 Whitestone NY from Augustus and Mary Baldwin to Mary's mother Elizabeth Angier "Aunt Haven has been sick since she returned from Boston with the nervous tooth ache. She had her tooth pulled and it broke a nerve and it had such an effect on her that it obliterated the whole of the nervous system so that she was not able to do her work for six weeks but she has got to be quite well now. Mr. Laban Nicholas wife Mr. Lees sister the one that was down when Mary went up the first time is deranged. She tries every way to kill herself. She once took her husbands razor and attempted to cut throat but was caught before she had completed the fatal deed. Twice her husband has found her with a rope around her neck and once got to her only soon enough to catch her in his arms as she leap sic from the scaffold one half minute longer and she would have been an eternity." - June 13 1818 Whitestone NY from Eliza Angier to her mother Elizabeth Angier. "I hope that he who has upheld you thus far in life will still hold you in the hollow of his hand lest at any time your feet should stray from the path of virtue and rectitude. And may he find your heart fast to him that when in health you may be an able to render to him according to his benefit. I am rejoiced to hear that there is any attention to the one thing needful with you. Oh that there may be many praying souls in that place and may we realize that we have an interest in your prayers. It would give a pang to any Christian to realize the state of this church and society. Religion is trampled upon like hearts cast before swine. we have reason to fear that wrath of an offended God is kindled against us and that he will come upon us with great judgment if we continue in this stupid state. Afflictions in themselves are courteous and I am not as an able to bear them as anyone. Yet they are sent for our good to restore are wandering feet. I would choose to be afflicted rather than remain in this Im feeling state. More the treacherous calm I dread then tempest bursting over my head. - August 3 1825 Frankfort NY Eliza Angier Warriner to her siblings Roland Angier and his wife Mary Marsh 1803-1866 "Eliza has become the mother of twins both daughters one we call Cordelia Eliza the other Frances Beattie they were born 20 April the life of the mother was disposed for sometime. We had two of the best nurses one was Sabrina besides all the assistance that I could render. Eliza is now so that she is just about taking care of the babes but not able to do much she is afflicted with the canker in her throat and stomach which keeps her and the babes in continual afflictions." - June 25 1830 Frankfort Alford and Eliza Angier Warriner to Eliza's mother Elizabeth Angier "The anniversary of my birthday which is tomorrow reminds me of my obligations to you the kindest and best of mothers who under God have been instrumental in preserving my life that I am so far from you as not to visit you often when I think that six years have rolled away since I saw you I am really astonished! And now that I have left my brothers and sisters is misterous sic To myself but for not writing to you I can offer no reasonable excuse I must played guilty this pleasant evening the moon with her bright Waze conveys my thoughts to my native home . I find many pleasant people here but in my dreams I visit Southborough inhabitants could I but you know where my mother is and what her enjoyment is in the decline of life it would relieve my anxiety. we had a very pleasant journey here we started from Utica July 30 in a canal boat in the front cabin 13 and number moving at the rate of 5 miles an hour able to read right net and sell. Mr. Simmons spent his time writing and reading his sermons which was very interesting to us when we got to Troy Thursday we had to lay up a few hours on account of the water for a kind a machine called the mud turtle which was scraping the mud from the river before we could cross the way to Albany then went on board a steamboat to New York saw a great many of the works of nature and a part then a coach convey the family to the New York shore then in a steamboat to Newark." - October 3 1832 Newark NJ Sabrina Angier to her mother Elizabeth Angier To view images click: https://photos.app.goo.gl/8yiDE57vHQQXnc7R7 <br/><br/>Elizabeth Newton was born on April 30 1763 to Solomon Newton 1734-1830 and Elizabeth Howe 1733-1818 in Southborough MA.

The majority of the letters are send to Ireland Depot which was the name of the town's post office from the mid 1840s to mid 1850s.

Eight of the letters are folded stampless posts the other three have their corresponding envelopes. The six letters written by Catherine A.

Paesiello had moved from the family homestead to Ashland MA for work while Mary was still living with their father and his new wife Lovina in Holyoke MA.

Depending on the census record William is either a carpenter or farmer. The last letter is from a C. B. Angier a distant relative of Lovina her mother's maiden name is Angier and provides a short update on their life. Below are excerpts from the letters: "I think I felt the importance of religion I saw myself to be a great sinner but I did not want you to know it. I remember well one Sunday evening there was quite a number went forward for prayer. I felt as if I must go I tried to stand but Satan whispered in my ear that if I went no one would believe that I was in earnest that I could do it better where I was & I listened to him and sat still. I think now if I had broken away from him then I might have found peace. You thought I was indifferent I was miserable for I was trying to be a Christian and have no one know it." - Catherine A. George Bates to her friend Lovina H. Fay Emerson June 22 1848 "It has been quite sickly about us one little child buried today. One case in particular I must tell you a lady 35 years old on who belonged in this neighborhood & always lived with her parents who are quite aged was married & went to her home with every prospect of happiness before she had scarcely begun to enjoy it was called to die just 4 weeks from the day she was married she was buried at the same place where she stood a bride she lay a corpse." - Catherine A. George Bates to her friend Lovina H. Fay Emerson September 21 1848 "I have just finished loading the lumber for you. A part of the boards are not such as I stands sp have had you but they are at the depot. I though I would send them there are 2330 fit sic I also send more of the short timbers which you will please see that it is unloaded & kept safety. What you can not sell please send me the money for the lumber as fast as possibly convenient and greatly oblige." - H. Williams to William Emerson May 1 1849 ". I came home I found little Frank that is Brother Hiram's youngest child very sick with Dysentery. He had not been well for a week or two before he had 10 teeth besides there were his stomach teeth & two others were swollen very hard which caused his sickness. The Doctor said it was a very doubtful case. Mother & others that saw him said he could not get well. I thought perhaps he might altho I knew he was very sick. Wednesday he seemed considerably better. Thursday he was very restless. Friday everything he took he vomited. The disease had gone to his head he would throw it from one side to the other in dreadful distress through the day. Saturday his hands & feet were very cold could not warm them thought he could no live the night out but by rubbing he seemed to get a little rest. He was so thirsty could raise himself & grasp the tumbler & look so wistful as if he thought we could help him the Dr. told us he thought he would have spasms but he did not he grew weaker and weaker until about 6 o'clock Sunday night. Mother was over him & noticed a change & called to us it was but to see him gasp his last breath. He had turned his eyes towards the window and thus without a groan or struggle he fell asleep in the arms of his savior just like the going down of the sun altho set forever to this world it shall dawn in a bright & better world as I gaxed sic upon him now still in death & kissed his cold lips I said is this death As this was the first I ever witnessed. The impression I received is pleasant Oh! that I may so live that when I die it may be as well with me as I believe it is with him. the mother appears calm & resigned to this event as well as looking forward to a time not far distant when another treasure may be sent to her I shall feel very anxious to hear from you after you receive this as the critical time of which spoke is near at hand. You must keep could courage Lovina is pregnant with her first child will be born in October 1849. Friend Susan was very sick when her children were born only think she had two sons one weighted 3 1/2 the other 7 pounds. The latter was dead the little one lived two days. She was so disappointed when it died she got a long remarkably well herself & has been very well during the summer. I wish you could see her it would do you good she wished me to give you her love and good wishes. I think I have not written you since the California fever has done such destructive work carrying off its hundreds and thousands from their homes and the enjoyments of life where and for what do they thus sacrifice their lives For gold that shall perish it appears strange to me that so many are ready to leave all & go. I am thankful there has none of my relations gone as yet but numbers of friends & acquaintances have gone. Some have arrived there & others that have not been heard from. " - Catherine A. George Bates to her friend Lovina H. Fay Emerson September 23 1849 "I haven't anything to do and have not had much for two months past I have carved my earned my board and that is about all. If I don't have something to do before long I shall be sick or crazy or something else. But there are signs of business being better before a great while. I still board at Mr. Montague and I think I shall as long as they will keep me. Last Friday I took a sleigh ride about five miles with another person who I shall not name here. It being a pleasant afternoon we had a first rate time and got home at last safe and sound." - George P. Emerson to Miss Mary Emerson January 4 1850 "But spring has come and with it pretty blue birds how pretty they sing in the morning. Winter has gone and with it the cold blistering days and nights with its long evenings and cold snows. Summer will soon be here with its long hot sultry days and soon will be the days when we shall hear the distant muttering thunder and see the dark black clouds with its forked lighting. I joined the Division of Sons of Temperance four weeks ago last night and I like them very much." - George P. Emerson to Miss Mary Emerson April 2 1850 "Your letter came to hand soon after date it found me watching by the sick bed of my dear Father he was taken sick the week after I came home with Typhoid fever. he complained of his dead did not seem to know or remember anything said it did not seem like his own head. the Dr. came but not do anything for him we dismissed him & called another & one to consult & before night they bled & blistered him & give him medicine which roused him he would talk one day about everything did not know us at all the next would sleep all day so sound that we could not wake him. my health has been good except about 3 weeks I had the mumps they went to my head & I had sores in my ears it was bad but I felt so anxious about Father that I did not mind it." - - Catherine A.
