Description
Albany: Joel Munsell, 1876. Hardcover. Blue embossed cloth covered boards. Good. 377 pages. 23 x 15 cm. Presentation copy from Joel Munsell to Professor Jonathan Pearson."Prof. Jonathan Pearson with the Sincear Reagards of J Munsell." Munsell, a printer in Albany, NY, published and edited numerous magazines, papers, and books. His personal collection of works on the craft of publishing was extensive and was purchased by New York State for the New York State Library. Professor Jonathan Pearson taught at Union College in Schenectady, NY and was the college's librarian from 1839 to 1866. Pearson was particularly focused on the history of Schenectady and the local flora. Anne (MacVicar) Grant was born in Scotland in 1755. Two years later her father obtained a commission in the British regiment stationed in America. Settling in Albany, Anne Grant lived among Dutch and British colonists and spent a good deal of time with Catherine Van Rensselaer Schuyler, the wife of General Philip Schuyler. Grant later returned to Scotland where she continued to write poetry and prose. In 1808, Grant published Memoirs of an American Lady: Sketches of Manners and Scenery in America as They Existed Previous to the Revolution. This book, which reminisced about her childhood in America, was also a tribute to Catherine Schuyler. Illustrated frontispiece engraving of Mrs. Grant with additional in-text illustrations (with original tissue guards). Pages lightly toned, otherwise clean. Hinges cracked but holding. Boards bumped and rubbed at edges.

Description
Brooklyn, New York: Window Provision Box Co, 1930. Very good. Corners bumped, short tear to top edge.. A refrigeration solution for the urban housewife: printed advertisement for a medium sized refrigerating window box for city apartments in New York, "fastened easily to the outer sill of any window" and a handy way to "keep food cool without ice". Hauling ice up the stairs to an upper-level apartment would have been unappealing, so this product provided the labor-saving solution pre-electric refrigerator. Features a nice bit of design that incorporates the typography into the illustration of the product. Measures approx. 9.5" by 6.25", verso blank.
