Description
1902. VANDERPOEL, Emily Noyes. Color problems. A Practical Manual for the Lay Student of Color. xv, 137 pp. Illustrated with 117 colour plates, each on a stub, with plastic square and mask. 8vo., 194 x 145 mm, bound in original green cloth, gilt on front cover and spine. New York: Longmans, Green & Co., 1902. First Edition of a magnificent and little known masterpiece of American book-making. Vanderpoel was a New York artist, author, and collector of oriental art objects. Color Problems was intended as a manual for all those (decorators, designers, lithographers, etc.) requiring a fuller understanding of colour theory. She refers to Chevreul, Bezold, Rood, Church, and others as having written more technical treatises or artists' manuals. The text focuses on colour contrasts and harmonies, with 117 plates printed in colour, and includes an appendix of definitions and terms and an interesting bibliography of fifty titles in several languages. This copy is complete with the mask and 2 pieces of plastic, which are usually missing, inside the pocket of the rear cover. Spine rubbed, but a good copy of a scarce and wonderful book. Wurmfeld, Color Documents 41 (illustrating four of the plates in colour). Birren 629.

Description
Washington, D.C., 1868. Single leaf folded to [4] pp, 3-5/8" x 5-3/4." Printed on page [1] only. Text within a black mourning border. Very Good. Stevens, Congress's most forceful advocate for equal rights for African Americans, died on August 11, 1868, two days before Baker wrote this rare and perhaps unrecorded tribute. It begins, "Move slow, O Time! while yet in grief we wait / Within the sacred shades of honored state! -." Delphine Baker is the subject of a detailed biography at the online History of American Women: During the Civil War Baker "collected materials for garments, exerted her influence among her extensive circle of acquaintances in gathering supplies, and providing for the demand for hospital comforts. She worked in the hospitals at Chicago and St. Louis, and urged others to enter upon the same work. Seeing that the hastily-arranged places for the care of the sick and wounded could use a woman's touch, she gathered supplies and carried them to those points where they were most needed. Not in strong health, a few months of that work exhausted her strength. She returned to Chicago, but her ardent desire to aid the sick and wounded stayed with her. In the spring of 1862, she announced the forthcoming publication of the National Banner, a monthly paper of sixteen pages, the profits of which were to be devoted to the needs of the volunteer soldiers of the United States. Through her publication, Delphine pushed for the creation and support of a Federal asylum for disabled Union veterans. After publishing in Chicago a while, she moved to Washington, DC, where she continued producing her paper." The online American Veterans Heritage Center and the online site of the U.S. Veterans Administration detail her successful efforts to establish "a national home for totally disabled soldiers and sailors of the Army and Navy of the United States," located in Dayton.
