Description
New York, 1860. An unusual image of a Zouave soldier in an outdoor setting, holding a horse. During the Civil War, roughly 95 Zouave regiments formed, adopting the names, uni-forms and sometimes fighting styles of the North African Zouave brigades. The bulk - about 70 of the regiments - fought for the Union cause. We were unable to determine anything else about this soldier, though the image was found in a New York estate. New York was home to two of the most famous Zouave brigades, the 5th New York Volunteer Infantry and the 11th New York Volunteer In-fantry. A nearly fine image with a slight crease, housed in a full case.

Description
Yokohama: H. Takemura & Co. [Hideo Takemura], 1930. Decorative Box. Each group of cards held together by paper band. Fine. Hiroshiga. Stunning group of place cards that transcend the genre -- these place cards are exquisite miniature woodblocks based on Hiroshiga's immortal artwork. N.d., probably from the 1930s when this printer and publisher, Hideo Takemura, was active and such place cards would have had an enthusiastic pool of buyers among Western tourists. H. Takemura was known for his printing of woodblock prints, generally, of course, in a larger format. Place cards would have been a novelty offshoot of that, but in our view, they are more than just throwaway variant reproductions. Besides the charm of the small to some collectors, these cards have an intensity of color that is breathtaking; that intensity is undimmed even after a century. These cards -- and the card is thick and near unbendable -- are almost too nice to use for a party just to have tossed after. Even though Takemura printed his own artwork, one can understand the incentive to use Hiroshiga imagery for place cards because of their irresistible appeal to tourists wanting to take home a piece of quintessential Japan as they imagined it, and the traditional virtually always shapes their view of a foreign culture. Not to be slighted is the packaging of these cards. The box paper pastedown is itself a work of decorative art, with its faux wood grain design, a trompe d'oeil one could say, and a pattern that captures something of the evanescent notion that informs much Eastern art -- there is a sense of movement in the irregular rippling pattern. The paper label on top of the lid is has a silhouette design and some calligraphic characters. Condition: The cards are pristine, and obviously unused. The box is complete as well. The box has some wear. One of the short sides of the lid isn't attached to its long sided neighbors. The paper label has two insignificant closed tears near one another, but no loss of paper.

Description
JOSEPH STILLWELL (1883-1946). Vinegar Joe Stillwell was a United States Army general who served in the China Burma India Theater during World War II. TLS. 1 pg. 8 x 10. March 11, 1946. San Francisco, California. A typed letter signed J.W. Stillwell to Jimmy Murfin: Dear Jimmy: Thank you for your letter of 19 January. My autograph appears on the card which is furnished for that purpose. With it comes my best wishes. The autographed card is not included. In 1946, General Stillwell was commanding the Sixth U.S. Army, with jurisdiction over forces in 31 countries and 15 areas of special sovereignty in Central and South America and the Caribbean. However, Stillwell was best known as the American chief of staff to Chiang Kai-Shek. In this capacity, his efforts to forge unity between Nationalist and Communist forces in China and work to end lend-lease aid to Chiang led to his firing and a rise of anti-Chiang sentiment that culminated in the Communist takeover of mainland China several years after this letter and Stillwells death. James Murfin (1929-1987) left a legacy of more than a dozen books, numerous articles, and other works writing for the National Park Service and various historical publications. The letter has some minor folds, but is in otherwise very good condition.
