Description
ca1820. As accomplished.. Fine.. Watercolor portrait meas. appx. 185 x 148 mm.. It is on a stiff paper board. Sir Thomas Gresham was councillor, and financier in Elizabethan England as well as the founder of the Royal Exchange. Numerous portraits exist. Hilton made this skillful and appealing watercolor from the attributed Holbein portrait in the Mercers' Company Hall in London. It was once part of the Elhanan Bicknell collection (sold by Christies in a named sale in April of 1863). The watercolor was framed (since removed and retained) and a thin, solid oak board (retained) once served as a seal to the back of the frame. The board has two labels affixed to it. One label appears to be an original gum label with 5 handwritten lines identifying the work and artist. The second is a twentieth century typed label assigning a registration number and identifying the portrait. HIlton was best known for his historically themed works and came from that British school of "effortless" watercolorists at the end of the 18th century. He was a friend of Keats and is also known for the portrait of him. DNB VIII, 585-596; DNB IX, 887-888 (Hilton).

Description
MATTHEW RIDGWAY (1895-1993). Ridgway was a United States Army general. He held a number of major commands, but was most famous for salvaging the United Nations effort in the Korean War.TLS. 1pg. 7 x 10. July 22, 1968. Pittsburgh. A typed letter signed Matthew Ridgway. The letter, on the Generals personal letterhead, stated who influenced his life the most: I find it very difficult to chose between Major General FRANK ROSS MCCOY and General of the Army GEORGE CATLETT MARSHALL, both now deceased. No doubt my father was the greatest single influence up to my mature years, but that is something an adolescent cannot accurately evaluate. Both General McCoy and General Marshall were possessed of all the attributes which I regard as constituting true greatness courage, integrity, professional competence of the highest order, vision, selflessness, modesty, compassion, willingness to accept responsibility. Of these two men, I believe my answer would be General McCoy, because I came under his influence at an opportune time early in my career; served in close association with him in both troop duty and on diplomatic missions. The letter has mailing folds and is in fine condition. A revealing letter.

Florence: Insegna di Dante [printed by Felice Le Monnier], 1842. Edizione di proprietà dell'Autore. Good. Octavo (205 mm), 91, [3] pages. In original printed blue wraps. Pink paper backing . Well-read copy, with penciled ownership inscription of Patrizio Muschi, who was a prominent figure in literary circles in Siena in the middle of the 19th century. Occasional light foxing. This five-act tragedy in verse by the19th-century historian and Dante scholar Pietro Fraticelli is an account of the tyrannical and brutal dictatorship exercised over Florence by Walter VI, Count of Brienne in 1342 and 1343. Walter agreed to be installed as "Signore" (Lord) of Florence by the city's wealthy oligarchs for a defined period of one year in order to stanch the city's financial hemorrhaging. Walter presented himself as a populist, and at his inauguration the dense crowd in the piazza shouted "for life! for life!" IN the event, Walter was a brutal and despotic leader, using his office to increase his own wealth, instituting policies of arrest, torture, and murder of political enemies, and plunder for his soldiers in the provinces. The action of the drama tells how Florence freed itself of Walter's tyranny. The booklet was printed by the great Florentine publisher Felice Le Monnier (the firm is still active). This "author's edition" dated 1842 was followed by an edition bearing Le Monnier's standard imprint twenty years later. Le Monnier also published Ugo Foscolo's edition of Tasso's great epic, "Gerusalemme liberata," with historical notes by Pietro Fraticelli in appendix. OCLC lists the Harvard copy alone in North America, and few scattered copies in Italy.

London: Raphael Tuck & Sons, n.d.. Hardcover. Fair. Hardcover. A surprisingly scarce title. No date, but the ownership signature on the free front endpaper is dated Christmas 1908. This charming collection of illustrated fairy tales, including Beauty and the Beast, Tom Thumb. Snow-White and Rose-Red, and Rapunzel among others, has fortunately or unfortunately been well used and read. The quite worn covers are present but detached and the spine is missing. Tears to first couple of front endpapers, and soiling and spots to many of the text pages. Nonetheless a sweet survivor of this well loved book. Measures 7.5 x 10.25 inches. 72 pages. CHILD/012925.
