Description
[Philadelphia?, 1866. Elephant folio broadside, 23" x 18-1/2." Old folds. Scattered margin repairs with occasional effect on a word: part of the "S" in "POST THIS UP" at the bottom is lost; slight loss to the "C" in Clymer at the bottom; a small loss to the neck of a horse at the intersection of two fold lines. Occasional light margin tears, light dusting. Pencil docketing on verso. There are very few of these broadsides extant, and the broadsides depicted in Reilly and the Encyclopedia of Virginia are certainly compromised. Ours in in Good plus condition. A carefree black man lounges in the foreground; a white man chops wood and another white man ploughs his field. Accompanying labels read: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread," and "The white man must work to keep his children and pay his taxes." In contrast, the black man is quoted in stereotypical dialect: "Whar is de use for me to work as long as dey make dese appropriations." The Freedmen's Bureau is pictured in the background as a large, domed building resembling the Capitol, inscribed "Freedom and No Work." At right is a table giving figures for the funds appropriated by Congress to support the Bureau, and information of the inequity of bounties received by black and white veterans of the Civil War. "The poster takes aim at the expense and perceived wastefulness of the Freedmen's Bureau, which was established to protect the newly freed enslaved population. A fictional image of the Freedmen's Bureau building, modeled to look like the U.S. Capitol, bears the following motto beneath the dome: "Freedom and No Work." The pillars of the building read, left to right: "Candy," "Rum, Gin, Whiskey," "Sugar Plums," "Indolence," "White Women," "Apathy," "White Sugar," "Idleness," "Fish Balls," "Clams," "Stews," and 'Pies'." [Encyclopedia of VA article, with illustration of the broadside, including its defects.] The broadside supports Democrat Hiester Clymer (1827-1884), running for Governor of Pennsylvania in 1866. His opponent, Republican John W. Geary, won the election. Andrew Johnson had vetoed the Freedman's Bureau Bill and the Civil Rights Act of 1866, but the Republican Congress overrode his veto and the measures-- the historic predecessors of the Fourteenth Constitutional Amendment-- became law. Reilly 1866-6. LCP 3815. OCLC 299947169 [1- DLC], 84975926 [1- DLC] as of March 2026.

Zurich: David Gessner, 1768. 169 x 94 mm. (6 1/2 x 3 3/4"). 272, 64, 214 (of 215) pp. CONTEMPORARY PAINTED AND BLIND-TOOLED VELLUM, DECORATED IN AN ELABORATE AND QUAINT STYLE, covers with black and red starburst at center in a lobed red and green frame stamped with stars and tulips, yellow cornerpieces stamped with a floral design, smooth spine painted red and tooled in blind with flowers, Dutch gilded endpapers, all edges gilt. ◆Covers faintly soiled, extremities lightly rubbed, one leaf with two-inch portion torn away at fore margin (costing small parts of five closely spaced staves of music) occasional foxing of no great consequence; with some serious condition issues internally, but an extremely pleasing example of a binding representing German folk art of the period. Although lacking the final leaf of text, this volume is of considerable interest as an expertly made and decorated so-called "Peasant Binding," a colorful binding style that began in Hungary and spread through Germany, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia in the 18th century. The use of the word "peasant" in this context is a reference to the obvious influence of folk art on this decoration, rather than to the clientele for which it was intended. Bibles, prayer books, and hymnals in the brightly painted and exuberantly decorated vellum bindings were popular wedding gifts among the bourgeoisie, who were both literate and sufficiently affluent to afford such luxuries..

Description
As published in a later edition of Antiquae Urbis Splendor (orig. 1612-1628). Pl. 39. Engraving. Image: 7 X 9 ¼. Margins: 9 ¼ x 13 ½. Includes the legend below. In fine condition. Giacomo Lauro was a printmaker active in the map and view industry of mid-sixteenth to mid-seventeenth century Rome. The Temple was built in 500BC on the site of an even older shrine dedicated to Saturn. It was reconstructed in 42BC by Lucius Munatius Plancus, a Roman Consul who was an officer in Julius Caesar’s army during the conquest of Gaul. He installed the Treasury of the Roman Republic here, where it remained until 28BC. It was destroyed by fire in 283AD, but later rebuilt. All that remains today are eight columns and a part of the pediment, which bears a Latin inscription. In English it reads: The Senate and the people of Rome restored what fire consumed. Saturn, who was the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Kronos, was the god of agriculture and the harvest (or of life and death). Like Kronos, he was represented as a hooded figure bearing a scythe. Because he was afraid of being overthrown, he ate his all his children apart from Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto, whom for some reason he could not swallow. In time his fears became reality; he was overthrown by Jupiter, who became the king of the Roman gods.
