Title: The Works of William Makepeace Thackeray (in 52 vols.)
Author: Thackeray, William Makepeace
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: London: The Chaucer Company, 1900. Limited edition. Near Fine. One of just fifteen sets (this being set number two), lavishly bound by Zaehnsdorf for Sangorski & Sutcliffe, and with signed original drawings by one of Thackeray's illustrators in each volume (some in color). Fifty-two volumes, octavo. Leaves measuring 255 x 174 mm, with the set occupying 180 cm (170 inches) of shelf space. A lovely, Near Fine set. Elegantly bound for the publisher by Zaehnsdorf in full green morocco. Each volume with both doublures done in red, green, and cream pictorial morocco (with large morocco and gilt rose design inlaid). Floral gilt spine in six compartments with raised bands and boards with gilt rule. All edges gilt. Green watered silk free endpapers. Bookplates of John Francis Neylan to each preliminary blank. Spines tanned, with some cosmetic rubbing to joints and some wear to corners. A very attractive example of a superb and luxurious production. Nearly as popular as Dickens in his day, William Makepeace Thackeray (1811 - 1863) is now, of course, best remembered for his novel Vanity Fair, which satirized the aristocrats and social climbers of British high society. In this set, Vanity Fair - spread across three profusely-illustrated volumes - is elegantly presented alongside Thackeray's numerous other novels, novellas, nonfiction works, and poems. The frontispiece to each of the fifty-two volumes is an original signed pen-and-ink drawing or watercolor by one of Thackeray's illustrators, including Kyd (Joseph Clayton Clark) and H.C. Green, and the set includes numerous mounted illustrations throughout. This set elegantly collects the complete works of one of the nineteenth century's most popular writers. Near Fine.

Title: Pre-War Letter of Jefferson Davis to the Confederacy’s Most Famous Spy, Rose O’Neal Greenhow
Author: Jefferson Davis
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 27/12/1855. Rose O’Neal Greenhow was born into obscurity, but became one of the most powerful women in Washington, D.C. and in time became a famous Confederate spy._ Arriving in Washington at the age of fourteen, she became fascinated with the Washington socialite scene and attempted to gain acceptance by the well-to-do Washingtonians. Even though she was mocked for her low birth, she eventually caught the eye of Dr. Robert Greenhow, a federal librarian and translator with medical and law degrees. The couple married on May 26, 1835 and, with her new husband, Rose gained acceptance into high society and socialized with famous Washingtonians, like First Lady Dolley Madison. She became friendly with South Carolina Senator John C. Calhoun, whose views influenced her. In fact, she nursed Calhoun on his deathbed. She also met and socialized with her future leader, Jefferson Davis. By 1854 she was a widow with a pension from the Federal government; she bought a house four blocks north of the White House and resumed her socialite occupation. She also established and maintained political alliances, including with President James Buchanan.During the Civil War, Greenhow aligned herself with the Confederacy. She wrote ciphered (secret code) messages to the Confederates and provided information about Union military plans. President Jefferson Davis credited her with helping the South win the First Battle of Bull Run, a key victory. Greenhow did this by providing a message about the Union troop's movements in time for Brigadier Generals Pierre Beauregard and Joseph Johnston and to meet at Manassas, Virginia. A young woman working with Greenhow named Betty Duvall carried the message wrapped in a tiny black silk purse and wound up in a bun of her hair.Greenhow’s spy network spanned several states and included 48 woman and two men. Head of the U.S. Intelligence Service Allan Pinkerton observed Greenhow as part of his counterintelligence activities and found sufficient evidence to place her under house arrest. Greenhow claimed she knew she was under surveillance but had defiantly continued her spying activities. Pinkerton and his men searched Greenhow's home and seized documents including letters, maps, notes, ciphered messages, and burnt papers that Rose had tried to destroy in her stove. After a period under house arrest, Greenhow was transferred to Old Capitol Prison where she continued to send encoded messages and collect secret information. This change in scenery did not stop Rose from being a nuisance and she was able to smuggle in a Confederate flag to her prison cell and wave it from the prison window.__ After a hearing, she was deported to Richmond, Virginia in May 1862. There she was hailed as a hero. She met with Jefferson Davis, who sent her on a diplomatic mission to Europe in 1863. On her return trip to the South on October 1, 1864, the blockade runner the Condor encountered Northern forces and ran aground. Rose Greenhow tried to escape in a rowboat, but it turned over and she drowned.In 1855 Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War under President Pierce. Invited to one of Greenhow’s soirees, he declined, apparently because she would be too preoccupied with other guests to spend time with him.Autograph letter signed, Washington, December 27th 1855, to Greenhow. “My dear Madam, I regret that it will not be in my power to meet you this evening in the midst of the many friends who always when permitted gather around you. With many thanks for your kind remembrance…”This is the first letter of Davis to his future spy Greenhow that we have ever seen. Moreover, a search of public sale records going back decades shows no other such letter reaching that marketplace, making this a true rarity.

Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: San Antonio: Martin Blandford, 1916. Very good.. Panoramic silver gelatin photograph, 10 x 47.75 inches. Minor surface wear and soiling, light occasional wrinkling. An informative panoramic photograph picturing the breadth of Camp Wilson at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio at the outset of World War I and during the Mexican border troubles in 1916. Camp Wilson was established by the United States Army in the year the present photograph was taken as a staging ground for Army and National Guard troops heading for Mexico during the Punitive Expedition. It was renamed the next year as Camp Travis, and then used as a training center for American troops heading across to Europe during World War I. The panorama captures the numerous buildings, tents, and other infrastructure ranged across the base, with an information tent and recruitment center at center-right. Particularly interesting is the "School of Spanish" pictured in the foreground, next to the Army Y.M.C.A. building; this building would have naturally educated officers and troops on their way to Mexico in the Spanish language. No copies recorded in OCLC. The Library of Congress holds nine other panoramic images by Martin Blandford both on his own and as part of the Medley & Blandford studio.

[nice clean book, pushed/bumped a bit at the spine ends but otherwise unblemished; the jacket is a bit rubbed and scuffed]. (B&W photographs) This posthumously-published autobiography of "one of Hollywood's best-loved producers" is "as much the story of the rise of Hollywood as it is a fairy-tale of the son of an Italian immigrant who became a key player in that exclusive world." Broccoli first came to Hollywood in the 1930s, where he met his "lifelong friend," Howard Hughes, and began working his way up in the business -- eventually moving to England, where (along with Harry Saltzman) he initiated the immensely successful James Bond film franchise. Never published in the U.S. .
