Description
A superb pen-and-ink drawing, which was reproduced on the small broadside birth announcement of the Hamadys daughter Laura. The announcement is entitled "Laura Evans Hamady - Printer's Devil". Laura Hamady was born January 5, 1975, and the proud parents printed a broadside to mark the occasion. The broadside reads in part: "Mother Father & Daughter are well and thriving at home, pictured above in a view from the barn drawn by Laura's Uncle Jack who is so modest he didn't even sign it." It may be that Beal annotated the drawing at a later date, on a subsequent visit to the Hamadys, or the statement may simply mean that the drawing wasn't signed in the conventional way. Jack Beal, one of the pre-eminent realist painters in American, illustrated nine Perishable Press books, including Loren Eiseley's The Brown Wasps in 1969, two Gabberjabbs, Hunkering in Wisconsin and Thumbnailing the Hilex, in 1974, and Seeds and Chairs in 1979, as well as a number of ephemeral pieces. Best known for his paintings, drawings, and prints, Beal's work is represented in many of the most prestigious museums in the country, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. The present drawing, which beautifully illustrates his relationship with the Hamadys and the Perishable Press, is a fine example of Beal's brilliant draftsmanship. The drawing is accompanied by a copy of the birth announcement, and both are in fine condition. The drawing is accompanied by a copy of the birth announcement, and both are in fine condition.

BAIRD, Henry Carey. CABINET MAKER'S ALBUM OF FURNITURE. Philadelphia: Henry Carey Baird, 1868. Small oblong folio (7 x 10 3/4 inches Publisher's cloth. Printed title leaf, leaf listing plates, 48 lithograph plates. First edition. Baird's pattern book was the third such work published in America and one of most pivotal books in shaping American taste. It included a comprehensive ra of items from bureaus, desks, wardrobes, chairs, bookcases, tables, and beds. The style incorporated American colonial design with French and European tast and was heavily influenced by Desire Gulimard's French pattern books. The amalgam of tastes was largely created by Joseph Bonaparte (the elder brother Napoleon) constructing a magnificent house, Point Breeze, twenty-five miles north of Philadelphia. He greatly influenced the monied society that hovered around him, bringing with him sophisticated tastes in furniture not commonly seen before on this side of the Atlantic. A very nice copy with sporadic foxing--some light, some moderate--on many plates. Laid-in is a later letter from the Hampton Roads Furniture Company, offering pieces from the Nelson Mansion, Yorktown.

Concord: Printed by Isaac Hill, 1818. 27, [1 blank] pp. Stitched, untrimmed. Tear to top inside corner of title page [no text loss]. Light toning and scattered focing. About Good+. This is the original lower court opinion in the famous Dartmouth College Case, brought because the anti-Federalist legislature of New Hampshire had abolished Dartmouth's Charter and turned it into a State university. Daniel Webster was not original counsel in the Superior Court, but delivered Dartmouth's summation at the close of trial. No record of his speech evidently exists, "but it was said that his emotional peroration 'left the whole courtroom in tears'" [Peterson, The Great Triumvirate 99]. Nevertheless, the Court found against Dartmouth; Webster took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court for a $1000 fee. There, Webster's argument that the charter was a contract whose obligations the legislature could not constitutionally impair succeeded; the lower court had rejected that claim. FIRST EDITION. Cohen 11611. Sabin 18623. AI 44995 [2].
