Description
1910. Signed. EDISON, Thomas Alva. Photograph signed. No place, circa 1920. Vintage silver print, measures 6-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, mounted on heavy card, mount measures 10 by 12 inches; framed, measures 12 by 14 inches. $6500.Very scarce vintage photographic portrait of Edison seated in a library, inscribed and signed by him with a bold flourish on the mount: ""To Mrs. Blauvelt, from a believer in woman suffrage, Thos A Edison.""This scarce vintage photographic portrait of Thomas Edison is an especially splendid portrait of ""the patron saint of electric light"" (Stross, Wizard of Menlo Park 1:284). The ""father of many new industries, including phonograph and sound recording; dictating machines; electric lighting and associated electric utilities; electrical manufacturing; and motion pictures… Edison stands tall among the pantheon of American heroes"" (ANB). Recipient Adele Picot Wilson Blauvelt (1867-1938) lived in Syracuse, NY, where her husband worked as a metallurgist. In the summer of 1918, Mrs. Blauvelt was as yet unaffiliated with any particular party. At a Republican party convention that July, she made the following statement, ""Like many thousands of other New York women, I am waiting to see the platform statement of the different parties on national suffrage for women, and will decide my party allegiance by their stand on that issue."" Blauvelt's daughter, Adele Blauvelt Barnes (1893-1995), was also a supporter of women's suffrage and a 1916 graduate of Radcliffe College. Light wear to upper corner of mount only, print fine, inscription and signature bold.

Description
New York: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1956. First edition. Very good plus in near fine dust jacket.. Inscribed first printing of this sometimes humorous but always grim Depression-era tale of the doomed Dove Linkhorn, a Texas drifter who lands in New Orleans - inscribed to the founder of the Lord John Press. Ostensibly about "the natural toughness of women and men, in that order" (jacket), A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE focuses more on how the lives of women relate to Dove Linkhorn. This copy is inscribed to noted book and autograph collector Herb Yellin, who established the Lord John Press the year after it was inscribed. Nelson Algren's final commercial success. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original blue boards with yellow spine. Original unclipped ($4.50) pictorial dust jacket. 346 pages. Inscribed by Algren to publisher Herb Yellin, dated 21 Sept. 1975. Jacket with a touch of edgewear, a hint of rubbing to rear. Binding with a bit of toning to spine, mild bumping to corners and spine ends. Tight.

Description
Order of Exercises at the Musical Festival In Honor of Prince Napoleon and Princess Clothilde, at The Music Hall, on Wednesday, September 25th, 1861, Commencing at 5 o'clock P.M. [Boston: J.E. Farwell & Co., printers [1861] octavo, 3, [1] pp., printed program. With unused ticket of admission to the Festival, measuring 3 ¾ x 5 inches, rare ephemeral items. The American visit of Emperor Napoleon II's cousin, Prince Napoleon (nick named Plon Plon), five months after the start of the Civil War, was ostensibly unofficial. But after a disastrous White House meeting with President Lincoln (whom the Prince thought stupid and graceless), Napoleon crossed the Confederate lines to the Virginia headquarters of rebel General G. T. Beauregard, whose cosmopolitan manners were more to his taste. Traveling back to the north before his departure, the Prince's Confederate sympathies were only thinly disguised, though not as manifest as a spurious letter attributed to him in southern newspapers, blaming the War on northern "obstinacy … prodigality and avarice… political fanaticism and egotistical speculations." After his secret meeting with the rebel General, possibly to discuss French support for the rebellion – or even the Emperor's plan to occupy Mexico – the pudgy Prince had to endure this "musical festival" at which a chorus of no less than 1200 Boston school children serenaded him with the Star Spangled Banner.
