[WHITTIER, JOHN GREENLEAF] PHOTOGRAPH MOUNTED UNDER GLASS [n.p., n.d., ca. 1880-1895] 2 x 2 inches. Original albumen portrait of Whittier in old age, mounted under a thin piece of octagonal beveled glass with original faux morocco backing. It was a common practice in the late nineteenth century to mount photos with this kind of backing on glass paperweights, but this example is smaller and much too light for that purpose. It may have been intended to be framed and attached to a badge or ribbon for some kind of event or as a memento mori for use in a memorial service (Whittier died in 1892). A charming relic and the only one of its… Leer más

[TWAIN, MARK] [Clemens, S. L.] Lewis, Sam, and Joe Young and Cliff Hess. HUCKLEBERRY FINN. New York: Waterson, Berlin & Snyder Co. [1917] First edition. Sheet music. Original pictorial color wrappers. Fine copy, never bound. This issue has an ad for Jack Wells' `Buzzin the Bee' (1916) on rear cover; we have also noted copies with ads for two different Irving Berlin songs. The cover illustration by `Barbelle' echoes the original Kemble drawings of Huck, but makes him look ignorant, a quality that Twain objected to in Kemble's earliest drawings. The genesis of this sheet music is obscure; it does not seem to be… Leer más
