Description
Milan: L. Rados, 1827. Volta, Alessandro (1745-1827). Engraved portrait by Luigi Rados (1773-1840) after Roberto Focosi. Milan: presso l'Editore Proprietario Luigi Rados, 1828. 490 x 347 mm. Small repairs to margins, some faint stains, otherwise very good. This fine portrait, engraved after Volta's death, shows him seated at a table, his left hand inside his coat and his right resting on the table, with an example of his "crown of cups" battery at his right and a Voltaic pile behind him. A 7-line caption in Italian gives a brief resume of Volta's achievements. Volta, the inventor of the first electric battery, published his first paper on it in the Phil. Trans. in 1800; his investigations proved the identity of Galvani's "animal" electricity with the electricity generated by his apparatus. The Voltaic pile made possible the experiments leading to the decomposition of water, electro-deposition of metal, and creation of the electro-magnet, initiating the electrical age. Benezit for the engraver. .

Description
Jun-44. ALSs of DeGaulle from during World War II are extremely rare, this being our first everThe Allies’ northward advance up the Italian peninsula to Rome was an important part of the plan to create a southern front and draw German troops to Italy to oppose them, even as the landing on D-Day approached. This would also liberate portions of Italy, and make the reclamation of France all the more likely. To bypass the German line in their way, the Allies landed some 50,000 seaborne troops, with 5,000 vehicles, at Anzio, only 33 miles south of Rome, on January 22, 1944. The landing surprised the Germans and met, at first, with very little opposition; but the force at Anzio spent so much time consolidating its position there that the Germans were able, with their reserves, to develop a powerful counteroffensive against it on February 3. The beachhead was thereby reduced to a very shallow dimension, while the German defenses at Monte Cassino held out against a new assault by Mark Clark’s 5th Army.British general Harold Alexander decided to shift most of the 8th Army, now commanded by General Sir Oliver Leese, from the Adriatic flank of the peninsula to the west, where it was to strengthen the 5th Army’s pressure around Monte Cassino. The combined attack, which was started in the night of May 11–12, 1944, succeeded in breaching the German defenses at a number of points between Cassino and the coast. Thanks to this victory, the Americans could push forward up the coast, while the British entered the valley and outflanked Monte Cassino, which fell on May 18. Five days later, the Allies’ force at Anzio struck out against the Germans; and by May 26 it had achieved a breakthrough. When the 8th Army’s Canadian Corps penetrated the last German defenses in the Liri Valley, the defenses began to collapse. Concentrating all available strength on his left wing, Alexander pressed up from the south to effect a junction with the troops thrusting northward from Anzio. The Germans in the Alban Hills could not withstand the massive attack. On June 5, 1944, the triumphant Allies entered Rome. The next day, the Allies landed in Normandy on D-Day.Charles de Gaulle was head of the Free French and based in London. To him, the taking of Rome had a three-fold benefit - it would strengthen the Allied grasp in southern Europe, weaken the Germans, and make a liberation of France more possible.DeGaulle must have been elated, and this gave hope to the French. He wrote Alexander to congratulate him. Autograph letter signed during the war, London, start of June 1944, to General Harold Alexander. “I send you, in my name and the name of the French Armed Forces, my strong and cordial congratulations on your great victory in Rome. I beg you to convey these sentiments also to Generals Clark and Leese.”ALSs of DeGaulle from during World War II are extremely rare, this being our first ever. And with this content, it’s a true treasure.

Description
Shannon, a militia colonel and state agent for the impressment of slave labor, requests the discharge of a number of slaves impressed for labor on military fortifications in Charleston, from the chief of staff of General Beauregard. Local planters depended on Shannon to force the state governor and the Confederate army to abide by the terms of the legislation granting the power to impress slave labor, in this case for a month's time. A rare document concerning the joint effort between the Confederate government and the local planters to use slave labor for military fortifications. "I am officially identified with the success of a scheme which I have labored earnestly to make efficient, outside of that motive no man can be more deeply interested than I am in the success of the defence of Charleston, but I feel constrained from a sense of duty to ask the discharge of those Negroes furnished under the call for the 15th July, who have worked over thirty days and which are relieved by the supply rendered in the past few days. The motive prompting this direct application is that I am informed by the Engineer Department that the Negroes could not be discharged…" WILLIAM SHANNON. Autograph Letter Signed, to General Thomas Jordan. Charleston, August 17, 1863, 2 pp. With: newspaper advertisement, entitled: "Labor For Coast Defences," a public letter from Governor M.L. Bonham, August 19, 1863, 1 p. Complete Transcript Charleston So. Ca. Augt 17th 1863 Genl Thomas Jordan Head Quarters Genl As agent of the State of South Carolina I delivered to the Engineer in charge, under the call for 15th July ult some Thirteen hundred & fifty negroes, which since that time have been engaged in labor in the defences around Charleston, Within the past two days I have delivered to the Engineers in charge some eleven hundred & fifty negroes under the call for the 14th of August. Neither of these numbers have any connection with the voluntary supply rendered in response to this call of the Governor and the Commanding General. The act of the Legislature under which these Negroes are furnished authorizes the call only for 'thirty days labor,' and requires the negroes to be discharged at the end of thirty days when relieved by a fresh supply, authorized [2] by the enactments of the law, by the practice of the past six months, & by assurances of the Confederate authorities I have not hesitated in all my calls to the people to pledge the return of the Negroes at the end of the thirty days & the people of the State have relied on my pledge. I am officially identified with the success of a scheme which I have labored earnestly to make efficient, outside of that motive no man can be more deeply interested than I am in the success of the defence of Charleston, but I feel constrained from a sense of duty to ask the discharge of those Negroes furnished under the call for the 15th July, who have worked over thirty days and which are relieved by the supply rendered in the past few days. The motive prompting this direct application is that I am informed by the Engineer Department that the Negroes could not be discharged. It is dire to the slaveholders of the state to say that I have received notice from several planters authorizing me to retain their hands, but no notice has been given of any such intention & nothing like general information has reached them that there is any design to retain them and therefore I have heard but from few – Very respectfully Yours, Wm M. Shannon Agt of the State of So. Ca. [newspaper advertisement:] Labor for Coast Defences Executive Department, August 18, 1863, The labor which under the call of Col. Shannon, has been at work on the coast for the past month, is now entitled to be discharged, according to the provisions of the Act of the Legislature. But the Commanding General deems its retentions so essential to the safety of Charleston and the State, that the Governor does not hesitate to retain it for the present, and to appeal, and appeal with confidence, to the patriotic owners of that labor, to allow it to remain a month longer, if General Beauregard shall so long need it. If the owners insist upon its discharge, on application to Major Echols, Broad street, the labor of the owners applying will be discharged. But being satisfied, from personal observation, of the pressing need of this labor at this time, to the safety of Charleston and the State, the Governor trusts that it will not be withdrawn. The owners will receive credit for it on any future call. Voluntary labor will still be received, and is much needed. Those who have contributed no labor, cannot render a more important service to the country than by sending it forward now. M.L. Bonham. August 19 Historical Background Shannon requests the discharged of slave labor used in coastal defenses in the summer of 1863, but as Union forces encroached upon Charleston, and especially after repeated attacks on Fort Wagner on Morris Island, Confederate authorities scrambled to build up Charleston harbor's defenses. Thomas Jordan (1819-1895), a Virginian, was the roommate of William T. Sherman at West Point, graduating in 1840. He served in the Mexican War, and was assistant quartermaster on the eve of the Civil War. He served as a staff officer throughout the Civil War, most prominently as chief of staff to G.T. Beauregard. He was promoted to brigadier general for valorous service at the Battle of Shiloh.

London/New York: Ernest Nister/E.P. Dutton, 1894. First edition. Quarter blue cloth over chromolithographed pictorial glazed boards. Neat gift inscription dated 1895. A stunning copy with only the slightest hint of wear at corners. Chromolithograph and black and white illustrations throughout. Printed in Bavaria. Ernest Nister (1842-1909) "produced more than five hundred mostly undated illustrated books for children, but from the 1890s the firm's production was almost exclusively toy or movable books and Nister introduced many new mechanical techniques... The illustrations in Nister's books-typically featuring affluent, well- dressed, cheerful children at play-were produced by many different artists. The artist's name, however, was often either dropped or missing, while the signature of Nister, as lithographer, was usually found somewhere on the work-thus leading to confusion about attribution. Nister frequently reused illustrations, occasionally adding picture elements that were not in the original work" (The Oxford Encyclopedia of Children's Literature). Page 10 contains a chromolithograph (Mr. Milkman) that while unsigned (see below) is clearly by Louis Wain at an early stage of his career and is thus far unrecorded. While others illustrated cats (and imitated Wain) no one's cats were quite like Wain's cats, who invariably possess an unmistakable, slightly insane gleam in their eyes. Not in Dale.

Many illus. 77 pp. & ads. 4to, orig. pictorial wrappers, upper wrapper by C. Andre, staple-bound. New York: 1977. A celebrated issue of the intrepid New York newsprint art magazine, which ran from 1973 to 1978. This issue was devoted to the subject of “artists’ books” and introduced many to the then embryonic concept. It opens with an “Idea Poll” that solicited responses to the relevance and potential of artists’ books. Responses from Acker, Baldessari, Carrion, Buren, Denes, Hoffberg, Huebler, Kaprow, Kostelanetz, LeWitt, Lippard, Nannucci, Piper, Schneemann, Steir, Tuttle, Weiner, are recorded. They project a mix of optimism and fatalism about the future of such books. We also note articles by AA Bronson, Peter Frank, and Irena von Zahn, who writes about Jaap Rietman and his bookstore. Very good copy; as with most issues of Art-Rite, the staples are beginning to tear through the outermost newsprint leaves at the spine. ❧ A.
