Description:
Fabriano, Italy: [Cartiere Miliani Fabriano], [no date]. Near Fine. Single sheet of blue grey paper with a few blemishes. 8 3/4 x 11 5/8 inches. With centered watermark of Leonardo Da Vinci, the image roughly 4 x 5 1/4 inches. A touch of wear and minor folding at extremities, an excellent example. Variously called shadowmarks, light-and-shade watermarks, or chiaroscuro watermarks, each design is a work of art that may take months to perfect. Julie L. Mellby at Princeton University Library Graphic Arts on July 26, 2010 posted the following about a different design in their collection: "This sheet of handmade paper comes from the Fabriano Paper Mill in Milan. In regular light, it looks like a blank sheet but when you hold it to the light, the watermark becomes visible. The image...comes from the variations in thinness or thickness in the paper. The watermark begins with the Italian artisan ... carving the engraving in wax; a process that may take from five months to a year to complete. Copper dies…

Description:
[ Washington, D.C. ? ], 1863. Pamphlet. Good. 8 pages. 8vo. Self wrappers. The last two pages comprise "Foreign intervention ... Concurrent resolutions of Congress, concerning foreign intervention in the existing rebellion". Folded as if for mailing, wear at the folds. Two folded sheets. Outer sheet fold nearly detached at spine. Foxing throughout. Pamphlet. Wikipedia notes the following: "In the days of fighting sail, a letter of marque and reprisal was a government license authorizing a person (known as a privateer) to attack and capture enemy vessels and bring them before admiralty courts for condemnation and sale. Cruising for prizes with a letter of marque was considered an honorable calling combining patriotism and profit, in contrast to unlicensed piracy, which was universally reviled. In addition to the term lettre de marque, the French sometimes used the term lettre de course for their letters of marque. "Letter of marque" was sometimes used to describe the vessel used: a "letter of marque"…

MDTV agreed to take on the task…

We think the outer form was correct, but the inner form containing pages 2, 15, 14, 3, 6, 11, 10 and 7 was rotated 180 degrees in the press so that page 6 and page 2 were "swapped", pages 11 and 15 swapped, pages 10 and 14 swapped, and pages 7 and 3 swapped. This results in the pages and signature E being out of order (the first four leaves have signatures E, E[4] ,E[3], E[2]). 8vo (5 x 7 3/4 inches). Leaf with signature C[3] printed off-center with some minor loss to page numbers and running titles. Full vellum. Remnants of two small paper labels on spine.
