Seller: McBride Rare Books

Title: Fort Worth Trade Review [caption title]
Author: [Texas]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: About very good.
Description: Fort Worth: W.W. Dexter, 1890. About very good.. 8pp. Newspaper folio, uncut, folding out to approximately 45 x 30 inches. Previously folded, with small loss at centerpoint of folds and minor wear along fold lines. A few nicks along edges, light toning and dust soiling. Contemporary ink stamps on first leaf recto. One full side printed in blue. A mammoth newspaper-style promotional for the Texas Spring Palace of 1890 in Fort Worth, "The most unique and attractive exhibit ever presented to the public; constructed, ornamented and decorated entirely with Texas products." This "special issue," more likely a one-off, is filled with illustrations of architecture and scenes from around the burgeoning city, as well as portraits of the men who served on the Texas Spring Palace committee. Included are a large, central image of the city stockyards, plus illustrations of significant commercial buildings, religious and cultural edifices, and the homes of several important personages. The final page carries a full-page real estate advertisement for the neighborhood of Arlington Heights by the Chamberlain Investment Company, its developer. Several additional advertisements are scattered on page six, including a number soliciting subscriptions to the Fort Worth Trade Review. Perhaps the most fanciful image is that of a prospective Texas Capitol building, backed by a promise of $4,000,000 in local investment should the state government decide to remove its seat to Fort Worth. Although subscriptions for the trade review are advertised, it does not seem to have been published regularly; of this "Texas Spring Palace 1890" promotional we locate only one other copy, at UT Arlington. A very good document of Fort Worth's exponential growth and ambition in the late-19th century.

Title: The Home Messenger Book of Tested Receipts, respectfully dedicated to the friends and patrons of the Detroit Home of the Friendless
Author: Duffield, M.B. [Mary B. Duffield]; I.G.D.S. [Isabella Duffield Stewart]
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: Detroit: E.B. Smith, 1873. Octavo ( x cm.), [6], 5-137 pages. Illustrated with frontispiece engraving of the home. FIRST EDITION of Detroit’s first cookbook. A second edition was published in 1878. In the early days of the Civil War, Rev. George Duffield, Minister of the First Presbyterian Church, located at the corner of State and Farm Streets in Detroit, convened a meeting of the women of the church. He called on them to help the “worthy and indigent persons in this City constantly suffering for the necessaries of life.” In 1862, the First Presbyterian women, led by Rev. Duffield’s daughter, Isabella Duffield Stewart, brought together a group of women from more than a dozen Detroit churches (see below) for the purpose of helping the less fortunate in the city. They met in what they called the “Home of the Friendless” which they had recently purchased and which became the name of the agency. Isabella Duffield Stewart was its founder and president until her death in 1888; the agency is still in existence today as the Children’s Aid Society. Recipes include Canadian red relish, “mother’s rich cup cake,” railroad cake, cole slaw, German salad dressing, corn pone, etc. Very little meat included, as it would have been expensive. Very light soiling internally; all edges red. In publisher's textured and blind-ruled light brown cloth; gilt-lettering to spine and front panel. Very near fine. Scarce. [OCLC locates thirteen copies; Brown 1714; Cook 131; not in Bitting or Cagle].

Russell. Savage took several of the West's most famous images at the celebration of the joining of the transcontinental railroads at Promontory Point, Utah in 1869. Savage also took the first photographs of what became Zion National Park.
