Title: JÉZUS SZÈNTSEGES SZIVE. IMA - ÉS ÉNEKKONYV A ROM. KATH MAGYAR NÉP SZAMARA
Author: (BINDINGS - CELLULOID). (PRAYER BOOK IN HUNGARIAN)
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Eger, Hungary: n.p., 1900. 178 x 114 mm. (7 x 4 1/2"). 584 pp. Early 20th century celluloid resembling carved ivory, with two cameos on the upper cover, cutouts revealing red velvet underneath, gold and silver accents and edges lined with gold, three dangling gold chains with small medallions, smooth spine, gold clasp, all edges gilt. Engraved frontispiece portrait with decorated border printed in blue ink, 14 engraved illustrations within the text representing the Stations of the Cross. Ownership stamp on front pastedown reads "Roth C. Julius, Phillipsburg, New Jersey." A touch of mild scuffing to the celluloid, negligible, light browning to edges of leaves, otherwise IN VERY FINE CONDITION inside and out. Straddling the line between craft and kitsch, this modest prayer book has been elevated to an entirely different level with the addition of an exuberant binding meant to imitate the look of high-end materials. It is primarily made of celluloid, a hard plastic first developed in the 1870's as a viable alternative to ivory, which had become increasingly scarce and expensive due to high demand. Being easy to mold, it was used in a wide variety of consumer products in the 19th and early 20th centuries, including billiard balls, knife handles, jewelry, fountain pens, buttons, and musical instrument parts. Some factories even specialized in producing celluloid with striations meant to mimic the natural grain found in ivory, examples of which can be seen in the thin, carved plates found on the present binding. Celluloid was eventually replaced by less-hazardous-to-produce materials like Bakelite, making products like this, in desirable condition, increasingly difficult to find..

Title: ENLISTMENT OF SICKLES' BRIGADE
Author: Volck, John Adalbert
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: [New York, 1863. One of Volck's etchings from his 'Confederate War Etchings.' 11-1/2" x 8-3/4." Light fox spots in several portions of the image, and in the blank margins. Good+. Volck's satiric take on the recruitment of the Sickles Brigade. "A throng of bedraggled men congregate around a Federal officer who holds out a medal and wears a 'Colonel Sickles Brigade' sign on his hat. Even the dog listens intently to his rousing words. A sign reads, 'The Capital in danger. Sickles Brigade to the Rescue!!!' The brigade was raised during the summer of 1861 and joined the Union Army as the Sickles or Excelsior Brigade in December 1861. Volck depicts the recruitment taking place amongst the rag-tag immigrant residents of the seedy Five Points neighborhood of New York City. Shows Sickles inviting men into the liquor store in the left foreground, trying to manipulate the recruitment of unsuspecting youths. Background shows a mini-riot taking place amongst what appears to be drunken men. Background also shows a tumult around a woman who is giving away free pipes to convince the men to join and a missionary looking heavenward, Bibles in his hands, his arms outstretched. To emphasize the irreverence of the motley crowd below, Volck has an unseen prankster removing the preacher's wig from an upstairs window. This image fits Volck's theme that Northern numerical supremacy depended on using of the dregs of Europe to fight its battles" [Gilder Lehrman description on line.].
