Overall, about very good.
Description
[Various places in Mexico, Texas, and Arizona, 1921. Overall, about very good.. 106 real photo postcards, including six duplicates. Varying sizes, but most approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches. Scattered contemporary and later manuscript annotations. Light wear at edges, occasionally a bit heavier. Some scattered damp and dust soiling. A substantial collection of over 100 real photo postcards that depict scenes from the Mexican Revolution and the related border war interventions of the United States Army. The images included here, some quite violent in nature, are dated from 1913 to 1922; most are captioned in the negative. They show ruined buildings, military encampments, injured soldiers, and corpses on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border and in Veracruz. Also included are identified portraits of individuals such as Francisco Madero, Pancho Villa on his deathbed, and American General John Pershing. Many of the images are by El Paso photographer W.H. Horne, who was one of the most prominent photographers of Border War incidents, captured the Columbus Raid in New Mexico, and photographed skirmishes near his home in El Paso. Also present are a short series of images by Cal Osborn, who documented border incidents near Douglass, Arizona, and a group by William Hadsell, William Hadsell, an American resident of Veracruz who ran a Kodak store and was a prolific recorder of events there. Several Mexican photographers are represented as well. Many of the photos are quite gruesome in nature, and show corpses in various states of decomposition, as well as the aftermath of battles and executions, but in all provide an arresting visual document of the interventions by the United States in Mexico during the 1910s. Powerful images of the Mexican Revolution and the resulting upheaval there and along the border with the United States.

Description
Probably New York, 1907. Unbound. Very good. This large (16.5” x 12.5”) chromolithograph reprint of an 1817 British advertising aquatint was printed in the United States, probably in conjunction with the 1907 centennial celebration of Robert Fulton’s first commercially successful steamboat in the world. Identical to the original, which was published by R. Ackermann of London, except that the title was changed from View of British Steam Vessels Under Weigh to Steamers Vessels Under Weigh. The title continues, Designed, and Constructed by Barrodall Rob[er]t Dodd, Civil Engineer, of Newcastle on Tyne. "Soon shall thy arm, unconquered steam, afar / Drag the slow barge, or drive the rapid car, / Or on wide waving wings expanded bear / The flying chariot through the fields of air."/ Darwin The print depicts a paddle steamer with sail on 'pleasure trip' with a crowded deck. The inset view below shows the interior of the principal cabin. Sailing barges and another vessel are shown in the background, and a row boat manned by four sailors is in the right foreground right. An American steamship flying the Stars and Stripes appears in the back left. . In nice shape with a relatively unobtrusive dampstain and a little bit of toning along the top margin, so priced accordingly. .
