Description
New York: Goupil & Co., 1854. Image size 550 x 758 mm., (21 7/8 x 29 7/8 inches).  Printed on wove paper.  Margins and legend removed; some restoration to the sky in the upper left, and old paper repair to central right otherwise a strong and highly detailed image. One of the classic American  images of the mid-19th century was based on a painting created by George C. Bingham in 1851-52.  The popularity of the painting, and the demand for the image of American democracy at work resulted in the collaboration of Bingham, Sartain and Irwin.  The outcome was this complex engraving that incorporated etching, stipple engraving, mezzotint engraving and line engraving on the same plate.  The detail, compositional format, and exquisite rendering of figures made The Country Election one of the touchstone images of 19th Century America.  The engraving and printing took place in New York at Goupil & Co., under the direction of Bingham, who oversaw the project. With faults a deep, rich copy of the print, which sometime appears colored.

Description
In this handwritten letter on a card with a hole punched in the top right and bottom right corners, the author writes, "Dear Mr. Plaumann, Unfortunately I had misplaced your letter of Sept. 24. I don't see a petition in which my name appears or which - as may be the case - even originates with me, as promising success; worse, it would be hindering and detrimental. That has been my prior experience, to my sorrow and that of others. How much more valid that is now! I will speak to Prof. Jens to see if something can be done by way of the Gruppe 47 (which just now awarded a prize to an East German, but which might have a green light just now.)...." Signed in full, "Ernst Bloch".
