Description
New York, 1846. ALBUM. New York: 1846. A very interesting one-of-a-kind autograph album. The autograph book is titled in manuscript ink on the second leaf, "In Convention to Revise the Constitution. September 21st, 1846." Octavo (8 3/8 x 7 5/8 inches; 210 x 195 mm). Album has 69 leaves. Of these, 41 leaves have autographs. Most autographs are on the recto and generally are 4 autographs to a page. The autograph is on one line and then the address or hometown of the signer is on a line below. With approximately 135 ink signatures signed to the album, and another 3 laid in on slips of paper. Contemporary full straight-grain orange morocco, rebacked to style. Boards tooled in gilt, and with a gilt central panel. All edges gilt. Drab brown endpapers. All leaves very clean. Overall a very good copy of this unique and desirable item. There are several noteworthy signatures in the book including Silas Wright, the governor of New York at the time, as well as that of Addison Gardiner, the Lieutenant governor of the the state. Also, Samuel Tilden, who went on to become governor of New York in 1874, and James Tallmadge, who was instrumental in the passage of the notorious Missouri Compromise of 1820, which set the stage for the Civil War. Together with a supplement which is a modern book printed in 2021 by Alpha Editions entitled "Manual For The Use Of The Convention To Revise The Constitution Of The State Of New York, Convened At Albany, June 1, 1846". This is essentially a modern reproduction of the historical documents associated with the convention. "New York has adopted four constitutions (1777, 1821, 1846, and 1894) and held eight constitutional conventions (1801, 1821, 1846, 1867, 1894, 1915, 1938, and 1967). The Constitution of 1894, revised in 1938 and amended over 200 times, remains in place today... Despite the approval of several amendments by formal procedures included in the 1821 constitution, voters overwhelmingly approved the call for a constitutional convention in 1846. The convention resulted in the drafting of what would become the third state constitution following voter approval by a margin of 2.5 to 1. The third constitution abolished all remnants of feudal land ownership, extended constitutional protection to local governments, and reorganized the judiciary. The question of equal suffrage for African Americans was submitted to voters as a separate referendum and was rejected." (New York State Archives). HBS 68989. $2,750.

Description
New York City: Gotham-Attucks Music Co, 1908. Folio sheet music, illustrated color pictorial cover with inset photographic portrait of the Robinson Trio. 5 pp. (including cover). Approximately 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Several small edge tears and light wear to margins; good to very good overall.. An early sheet music publication from the African American musical Bandanna Land, the 1908 stage production starring the celebrated comedy team Bert Williams and George Walker, two of the most influential Black performers in American theater at the turn of the twentieth century. The cover illustration depicts a figure gesturing across a map of the United States, accompanied by the bold title “Any Old Place in Yankee Land Is Good Enough for Me,” while an inset photograph identifies “The Robinson Trio,” a Black vaudeville act likely consisting of James B. Robinson, Stella Wiley, and Dan Michael. The music was written collaboratively by two major African American composers of the ragtime era. Will Marion Cook (1869–1944), a classically trained violinist and composer who studied at the Oberlin Conservatory and later in Berlin, was one of the most important musical figures in early Black musical theater. He worked closely with Williams and Walker on several productions and helped develop a distinctive style that blended ragtime rhythms with elements of operetta and popular song. Co-composer Chris Smith (1879–1949), best known for the widely popular dance song “Ballin’ the Jack,” was another prominent Black songwriter associated with early twentieth-century musical theater and vaudeville. The lyrics were written by Alex Rogers (1876–1930), one of the most prolific African American lyricists of the period and a frequent collaborator with Cook. Of the handful of copies of this sheet we have been able to locate, this is the only one we found with the Robinson Trio inset.

Tolstoy published Childhood pseudonymously (with only the initials L. N.) in The Contemporary journal in 1852. Delighting the editor of the magazine Nikolai Nekrasov and gaining instant appreciation by the public, he followed it with Boyhood and Youth to form a biographical trilogy. An expressionist exploration of the life of a little boy, the novel combined true stories, facts, fiction, and emotional expressions to become one of Tolstoy’s most beloved works.
