Description
10 ½ x 11 ¾ inches. Excellent condition. A fine, separately published, French engraving of Webber's iconic scene of the tragic death of Captain James Cook in Hawaii. The edition was dedicated to Louis-Antoine Bougainville, the French explorer and circumnavigator, who is herein identified as a member of the Society of the Cincinnati. The official account of Cook's third and final voyage, both English and French editions, did not include this engraving of his death. Many, however, were subsequently published due to the tragic nature of Cook's demise. This French edition, however, is scarce. The text below the image provides a brief biography of Cook.

Description
[n.p., 1875. Carte de Visite format, 2-1/2" x 4", albumen print on card mount: Photographic portrait of John McGuire, a dwarf, dressed in the usual fancy suit and top hat popular with dwarf performers at the time. No printed caption or imprint appears. A pencil notation beneath the photo "Coll. Mcguire." Minor dust. Very Good. Col. John McGuire, a dwarf perfomer, has been the subject of a only handful of carte-de-visites from what our research showed. There is one example very similar to ours held in the Ronald G. Becker Collection of Charles Eisenmann Photographs at Syracuse University and dated about 1875.
