Lowe, the incumbent congressman from Huntsville, whom Wheeler had just defeated in the race for that seat in the 47th Congress. Lowe sucessfully contested the election, but served only a portion of the term, as he died before its completion; consequently, Wheeler was reelected, eventually serving eight terms. In the broadside, Wheeler charged Lowe with "base falsehoods to which no gentleman or man of honour would descend." He repeated this in the letter, mentioning the broadside specifically, but using atone of accommodation. The broadside is quite scarce; unrecorded on both OCLC and RLIN.

Title: Tema with Variations for the Violin
Author: [VIOLIN]. Rossini, Gioachino 1792-1868
Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: England, 1830. Pierre Rode 1774-1830; Sir Henry Rowley Bishop 1786-1855; Adalbert Gyrowetz 1763-1850; Anon. [Copyist musical manuscript]. Oblong folio (245 x 305 mm). Sewn. Notated in black and brown ink on 14-stave rastrum-ruled paper. 10 pp. Contains five variation sets for violin by various composers: 1) Tema with Variations for the Violin. 3 pp. Nine variations on a waltz-like theme in F major. Following each variation the scribe indicates "tutti" or "to the tutti," indicating that these variations may have been performed with an ensemble of musicians. Unlocated. 2) Bishop, Sir Henry Rowley 1786-1855 and [?]Anon Variations from Home Sweet Home. 2 pp. Five variations on Rowley's well-known song. Bishop was an English composer who, "in his day he enjoyed a commanding reputation as the guardian of the best traditions of English song, and for a time he kept English opera alive almost single-handed. Yet he is now remembered for little but the song Home, Sweet Home." Nicholas Temperley and Bruce Carr in Grove Music Online 3) Rode, Pierre 1774-1830 Theme with Variations for the Violin. 2 pp. Four variations originally published as a solo for violin accompanied by a second violin, viola, and cello. "At the height of his career, Rode was the most finished representative of the French violin school. Having assimilated Viotti's Classical approach, he imbued it with characteristically French verve, piquancy and a kind of nervous bravura. His artistic growth took place during the revolutionary decade, and it is not surprising that his music is akin to that of Cherubini and Méhul and the operas of the 1790s; there is declamatory pathos, martial dash and melting cantilena. His gift for lyrical, often melancholy melody, which represents a prominent trend in French music of this period, made his music particularly attractive to German early Romantic composers. ...

His innate gifts as a teacher are demonstrated in his 24 Caprices, which balance the musical and technical needs of the student and have become an indispensable part of the violin curriculum." Boris Schwarz, revised by Clive Brown in Grove Music Online 4) Gyrowetz, Adalbert 1763-1850 Variations. 3 pp. Eight variations on a Tyrolean folksong, popular at the time and the subject of numerous variation sets. Gyrowetz was a noted Bohemian composer and conductor. 5) Rossini, Gioachino 1792-1868 Variations from the Tanti Palpiti. 2 pp. Five variations. The composer's Di tanti palpiti was the subject of variation sets by celebrated composers including Paganini, Giuliani, and Gelinek. Unlocated. Several small stains, mainly to blank margins; minor soiling to final page, mainly affecting its eight blank staves. These variations by the composers represented in the present manuscript are virtuosic, incorporating rapid scales and arpeggios, passages in double stops, and bariolage.

Title: [ORIGINAL ART PHOTOGRAPH]. "Photo de l'exposition 1969 a la Galerie Iolas" (on verso). Featuring his "Une forme en liberte (Lanterne magique), 1969
Author: Raysse, Martial / Galerie Alexandre Iolas
Seller: Michael Laird Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Fair
Description: Paris: The Artist / Expo 1969 - Galerie Alexandre Iolas, 1969. Fair. Original photograph (243 x 167), horizontal crease through center, some wrinkling, impressions of handwriting vision on emulsion (see below). APPARENTLY UNPUBLISHED IMAGE, DEPICTING THE INTERIOR OF THE GALLERY ALEXANDRE IOLAS IN 1969, ONE OF THE VERY FIRST PROJECTIONS OF RAYSSE'S ICONIC "FORME EN LIBERTE." THIS HIGHLY RECOGNIZABLE SHAPE BECOME INEXTRICABLY LINKED WITH THE WORK OF THIS EARLY POP ARTIST. SIGNED ON THE VERSO IN PENCIL BY THE ARTIST, AND WITH HIS IDENTIFICATION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH IN FELT-TIP PEN. Raysse obsessively explored the iconic "Forme en liberte" head and shoulders / keyhole design, repeating it in many different media including commercial design, for which he created the eau de toilette "Democratie Pour Homme" (1970) and thus anticipating Warhol's consumer products. This design represents a significant period in Raysse's career when he was experimenting with new materials and techniques, including this "magic lantern" projection. In our photograph, not only can the projection of the "Forme en Liberte" be seen (on the ceiling) but the projector itself (on the lower left). There is an example of the projector at the Centre Pompidou and also at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Geneva. The present photograph was taken at the Galerie Alexandre Iolas Paris and is datable to September-October 1969. The work was first shown earlier in 1969 at the Galerie Der Spiegel de Cologne. Pop artist Martial Raysse (b. 1936) is well represented in major museums worldwide, but his photographic work is not. He was a co-signatory of the Manifesto of New Realism in 1960. Famous for his colorful female figures from classic paintings, he also painted stereotyped faces of women borrowed from advertising from the early 1960s. Over time his representations of faces became more and more simplified until they became archetypes, as here. The "Forme en Liberte" verges on structuralism, seeking a root common to all men and women. Concerning the present work, the artist stated that "I wanted to create through art a prototype that could be reproduced in thousands of copies, a kind of visual standard. That's why I took the shape out of its support, that's why I'm looking for other materials, less expensive than neon or plastic. A work is not something beautiful to look at - it is of no interest - its value is to be a school of thought. [...] I thus imagined a whole system of cut shapes, placed in front of a variable objective. The public will no longer need to have this form, it will simply grasp the idea." (Martial Raysse, cited by Lydie Brown, 1971).
