Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Unequalled Collection of Engraved Portraits of the Presidents of the United States, Vol. 4: Embracing Many Rare Portraits of George Washington; The Unique Collections of Portraits of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison and Andrew Jackson, and the Largest and Most Important Collection of Abraham Lincoln, to Be Sold Thursday, May 16, at 2 This, the fourth part of the catalogue of the Collection of Engraved Portraits gathered by the Hon. James T. Mitchell, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, embraces his extraordinary and unique series of the Presidents of the United States from Washington to the present incumbent of the Presidential Chair. The Portraits of George Washington include that on the "Battle of Prague," the rare Peale Mezzotintos of the General and Lady Washington, the rare Norman portraits of the General and Mrs. Washington, the rare Hodson Mezzotinto, printed in colors, and a fine copy of the Freeman Mezzotinto, printed in colors. The portraits of Thomas Jefferson are the most important and largest collection we have ever had the pleasure of presenting to the public, and contains all those engraved by Edwin and Tiebout, as well as the very rare, and, we may say, unique, portrait in Mezzotinto by Savage and a very fine copy of the portrait by Field. Those of John Adams include all the rareties, as well as the excessively rare portrait by Savage. The portraits of James Madison embrace all the rareties known, and the collection of portraits of Andrew Jackson has long been known to be the most complete in the country. Of the portraits of Abraham Lincoln, the collection is the most complete and extensive known, containing many impressions from plates not published, special artists´ proofs, as well as original unpublished drawings from life made by Morand a short time before the Great Emancipator´s death. Those of the other presidents embrace all the portraits that can be had, and the whole forms a galaxy such as has never before been placed before the American public. We wish to draw particular attention to the numerous beautiful banknote Vignette portraits published by the Government in proof on large paper. These the Government no longer publishes for sale, and are most difficult to obtain. And we also wish to impress upon the public the importance of the great variety of lithographic portraits by Fenderich, Newsam, D´Avignon and Hoffy. These, the masters of the art, are represented in this collection by specimens of their very best work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
