Description
La Haye [The Hague]: Correspondence Musicale, 1855. Very good.. [3]pp., on a single folded folio sheet, lithographic illustration on front cover. Minor toning, foxing, and edge wear. Stated second edition of rare Dutch sheet music for a piano piece inspired by Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. The central illustration on the front cover depicts a scene from the novel, with Uncle Tom under threat of the whip by his master, likely representing the villain of the novel, Simon Legree. The subtitle reads, "Non maitre, dit Tom, mon ame nest pasa vous! [No, master, said Tom, my soul is not yours!]." The present musical score was written by Dutch composer Louis F. Revius (1833-1902), a cellist and sheet music publisher in The Hague. In 1852 he founded the Society for the Printing and Publishing of New Cheap Music with partner Achille Defossez. We locate a handful of copies in OCLC, mostly in the Netherlands, but otherwise at the British Library, the University of Chicago, and the University of Virginia.

Description
N.pl, 1903. Very good to near-fine.. A very fine portrait of a woman rendered in oil paint on porcelain, painted by an artist named F.I. Weeks in 1903. The woman, who remains unidentified, wears a pink dress with her brunette hair in neat braids against a mottled brown background. Her clothing and affect date her from the 1860s, leading us to believe that Weeks has copied this portrait from an existing Victorian portrait that he had access to, perhaps to practice his craft. Interestingly, a soft raking light reveals that he at some point removed and revised the eyes of his subject-- perhaps to change the color, or better capture her expression? Weeks is not listed in Benezit (Grove/Oxford Art Online) and we have been unable to track down any of his other art. Porcelain tile measures approx. 5" by 4", with the oval portrait measuring approx. 3" by 2". Light graphite measuring lines visible along edges. Oil painting and portraiture on porcelain became increasingly popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries (roughly 1870 to 1920), due to the medium's beauty and ability to capture detail. It also lasted longer than canvas. Following the Industrial Revolution and the advent of affordable photographic portraiture (i.e. cabinet cards), such a highly skilled, delicate, and expensive means of capturing a likeness became highlight sought after by those in the upper classes with disposable income.

A Fine edition in a like dust-jacket ; Anderson's fourth novel is a wry and witty take on the collision of two cultures. When a recently divorced, twenty-something Indian-American woman moves in with her white, liberal-minded mother in the small town of West Egg on Long Island, she expects to find peace and serenity in the idyllic setting. But the tensions between the two cultures are palpable, and when the mother announces her engagement to a local white man, the daughter is forced to confront the prejudices she's been sheltered from. With sharp, observational humor, Assault and Matrimony paints a lively and humorous portrait of the rites of passage that mark the lives of its characters.; 8vo; 185 pages .
