Description
[Nashville, 1861. Good plus.. Small broadside, approximately 11 x 7.25 inches. Creased along lower edge; ink burn causing a dime-size paper loss at upper right, slightly affecting border, plus a few additional stray ink marks. Later, faint pencil annotations on blank verso. Moderate tanning and dust soiling. A scarce Confederate carrier's address, published on Christmas in Nashville during the first year of the Civil War. The Republican Banner was formed in 1837 from a merger of two other periodicals, and was the first permanent daily newspaper to serve the Nashville area, as well as the first to operate its presses by steam. Tennessee officially seceded from the Union on June 8, 1681, but Nashville surrendered to Gen. Grant's troops on February 23, 1862, whereupon the Republican Banner suspended publication for the remainder of the war. As a result, the present broadside is only carrier's address issued by the paper that is also a Confederate imprint. The text is printed in two columns with in a decorative border, and the title is illustrated with a vignette of a newsboy making a delivery. The verse itself exults in the success of the Confederate rebellion thus far, regaling its reader with the progress of secession and naming the recent battles that were Confederate victories, including Fort Sumter, Bull Run, Bethel, Lexington, Leesburg, Springfield, Oak Hill, and Belmont, due to the supposed righteousness of the Southern cause and its superior fighting spirit:   "'Twas Southern valor won the undying name / Of conqueror, o'er the unconquered till that hour. / And when upon Manassas' awful plain / The Federal hordes fled back aghast in woe, / Not courage only heaped the field with slain, / The majesty of right o'erwhelmed the foe."   The broadside also mentions, somewhat optimistically, England’s support of the Confederacy, and names specific figures including Generals Lee, Beauregard, Johnson and President Jefferson Davis, among a number of others, as emerging Confederate heroes. Parrish & Willingham record a single copy, at Vanderbilt, and OCLC adds nothing further. A rare example of a Confederate carrier's address. Parrish & Willingham 6498.

Documentation of architectural details, graffiti, objects and vegetation in the Norwegian capital by Norwegian photographer Morton Andersen. The volume is published with two hundred and twenty-four b/w photographs exclusively. There is not text except for the colophon. Morten Andersen: "When I finished my second photo volume 'Days of Night' (with pictures from New York and Tokyo) I was broke and had no ideas either. So it was not the best of times when I got a call from a press photographer friend of mine. He had gone digital and had cleaned his car, his apartment, bags and jackets and ended up with three big bags of films he was going to throw away. But maybe it was easier to get rid of it by calling me?! I was happy and even bought him a beer! But what to shoot…? Some of the films was pretty old, some had been in and out of x-rays at airports, some even maybe used so I started slowly to test some films shooting in my neighborhood in the inner city of Oslo. I looked at architectural details, graffiti, objects, plants and vegetation which is often temporary and overlooked, but are important parts of the city's identity. Time and history becomes very visible in the city's architecture, etc. and shows the city's transformation processes. Large parts of modern Oslo's were established at the end of the 19th century and literature and paintings from this period has partly been an inspiration for the project. The title is inspired by the movies 'Christiane F. vom Bahnhof Zoo' and 'Døden på Oslo S.' (death at Oslo central station). What the F stands for is open, but it can be fiction, foto, fantasy, flowers, etc., or a fictional area of the city.
