Description
American [?], ca. 1850. Unique.. Very good.. An accomplished 19th century color gouache meas. 7.5 x 12 inches of a raging river waterfall. An ink notation on the verso of the backing board locates the scene as being : ' [obscured] Falls, New York ' . This is incorrect. The place is actually on the Rhine and the drawing depicts the Schaffhausen Falls. There is another (later) notation stating that the signature of A B Durand has been obliterated. The painting is not by Durand. It is executed on thick paper that had, at one time, been mounted to a backing board around its edges, wet, and shrunk to fit (a common method of preparation). The painting shows a high degree of skill in its execution. It is an evocative scene.

Description
Boston: Eastburn's Press, 1844. 54pp, stitched into modern marbled wrappers. Light dusting, else Very Good. Originally printed in nine issues of the Boston Courier in opposition to annexation, this essay "discusses temperately the various arguments for and against annexation, especially those in Robert J. Walker's Letter of January, 1844. Adams states that although annexation would justify dissolution of the Union, the immediate policy of the Free States should be to continue their struggle against slavery. It appears from the text that this was published soon after the appointment of Calhoun as Secretary of State in March, 1844." Streeter. FIRST EDITION. Streeter 1468. Rader 41.
