Folio.  325 x 210 mm., [13 ¼ x 8 ½ inches].  Manuscript in ink. 373 pp.  Full contemporary calf, raised bands, tilt spine and borders.  Very legible in a very sound binding.  This ledger contains a remarkably complete record of correspondence relating to the insurance firm of Thatcher and Fearing.

The firm appears to have insured a number of small businesses from Maine to Ohio.

The firm appears to have dealt heavily in risk insurance, evidenced by a number of letters written to small business owners indicating that the firm would reimburse various financial losses.  Many letters, written to the most prominent men in Boston society,  also deal with cases in which the firm had difficulty… Read More

This item is currently on reserve; please contact dealer for more details. Washington City: Chas. Fenderich, 1840. Folio. 435 x 325 mm., [17 x 12 ½ inches]. Lithographic portrait drawn from life. A few minor tears to the margins, expertly repair, some light foxing and discoloration. A very stable and flexible paper stock. Rare portrait of the military hero from Kentucky, (thought to be the killer of Tecumseh), close associate of Henry Clay, Member of both Houses of Congress and finally the Vice President of the United States. The portrait was made while Johnson was Vice President and it captures the sense of the man and the knowing look he casts on the viewer. It is very beautifully executed by the artist and is a display of the artists skill and sense of humanity. Not much can be gleaned about the life and career of Charles Fenderich, who worked in Washington D. C., except from a series of lithographic portraits that he made of a number of American presidents, members of the Congress… Read More

Steel engraving by James Smillie after a painting by Albert Bierstadt that was completed in 1863.  Signed in Pencil by both Bierstadt and Smillie. A few brown spots removed by expert paper conservator.  Excellent condition.      "This painting is the major work that resulted from the artist's first trip to the West. His intention to create panoramic views of the American frontier was apparent by December 1858, just before he embarked on the trip. In early 1859 he accompanied a government survey expedition, headed by Frederick W. Lander, to the Nebraska Territory. By summer, the party had reached the Wind River Range of the Rocky Mountains in what is now Wyoming. Bierstadt dubbed the central mountain in the picture Lander's Peak following the colonel's death in the Civil War. This was one of a number of large works painted after Bierstadt's return from these travels. It was completed in 1863,… Read More
