Currier & Ives Broadsides John Bell and Edward Everett
Scarce campaign broadside for John Bell and Edward Everett, the candidates for the Constitutional Union party in the 1860 Presidential campaign. Lithograph is the scarcest of 19th century Currier and Ives broadsides, hand-colored by the storied print makers, and with full margins not usually found on this broadside. Strong unionists who believed that slavery was protected by the U.S. Constitution, the candidacy of Bell and Everett split the southern vote, effectively giving the election to Abraham Lincoln. Their campaign banner reads at top, “Liberty and Union Now and Forever One and Inseparable / No North, No South, No East, No West, Nothing But the Union”. With Currier and Ives copyright in 1860 at bottom, which also reads, “Grand National Union Banner for 1860 / The Candidates and Their Platform”. The candidates’ names of John Bell, of Tennessee and Edward Everett of Massachusetts are also featured in the banner. Broadside is hand-colored by Currier and Ives, with unfaded rich, dark colors. Lithograph measures 13.5″ x 18″, with original borders. Expert restoration including rice paper backing, though no restoration to the coloring except to a small spot of scuffing just below the tassels between the red velvet curtains. Some foxing to margins. Overall in very good to near fine condition. Sold for $12,600.

Beautiful presentation broadside of the “D-Day Prayer”, one of the few copies gifted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to his staff at Christmas 1944. This particular copy was given to one of his Secret Service agents (and then by descent to consignor), and comes with a 1944 Christmas card from the Roosevelts. Lithograph features gilt and colored embellishments, transcribing the famous prayer that President Roosevelt delivered to the nation via radio on 6 June 1944 after the successful D-Day invasion, reading in part, “Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far. / And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer…Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph…Christmas-1944-from / F.D.R.” Lithograph measures 14.75″ x 21.75″, framed with the Roosevelt Christmas card, and a ribbon at bottom right, to a size of 15.5″ x 21.75″.

1778 Revolutionary War Broadside, a Call to Arms
Superb Revolutionary War broadside from April 1778, a scarce “Call to Arms” for the men of Massachusetts to help build the “Great Chain” on the Hudson River that extended from West Point to Constitution Island, constructed in the spring of 1778. The Great Chain was a feat of inspired engineering, comprised of iron links each weighing 114 pounds that extended 600 yards across the bend in the Hudson River at West Point. As control of the River was tantamount to controlling the waterways from New York City to Montreal, several Battles had been waged on the Hudson before the Colonists conceived of the idea to construct chains across specific points in the River, so that the Army could bombard British ships when they were stalled as a result of the chains. The most effective of these chains was the Great Chain, which took advantage of a narrow “S” shaped curve on the River at West Point. Although Benedict Arnold famously told the British that “a well-loaded ship could break the chain”, the Great Chain held and prevented British boats from crossing. The Hudson River would remain in the hands of the Colonists. Sold for $2,500.
1777 Revolutionary War Broadside re Continental Army
Revolutionary War broadside, from February 1777, regarding the clothing of Massachusetts soldiers, specifically young men “sixteen Years old and upwards” in the Continental Army. Broadside notifies the people of the Massachusetts Bay of a bill passed in the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, authorizing men in each town to purchase clothes for the soldiers – with the warning that the Agents be “very careful that they might be of the best Quality, that so the soldier may not be defrauded…”
Broadside reads in part, “STATE of MASSACHUSETTS-BAY / In the House of Representatives, February 6th, 1777. / THAT the Army may be duly supplied with Shoes, Stockings, and Shirts, It is RESOLVED, that the Selectmen of the several Towns in this State, be, and they hereby are directed, to appoint some faithful Man of their own Number, or some other suitable Person or Persons, as Agent or Agents, in their respective Towns, to purchase for the use of the Continental Army one seventh part of so many good strong Pairs of Shoes and of Yarn Stockings and Shirts, as there are male inhabitants in such towns, from sixteen Years old and upwards; which Agents shall deliver said Goods to the Committee herein after appointed by the last Day of March next, and sooner, if practicable…”
The broadside then lists the men of each town that are responsible for carrying out the order, continuing, “…and they hereby are appointed a Committee to receive the Goods or Clothing of the Agents and to deliver them to the Board of War or their Order, taking Receipts for the same, said Receipts specifying the Articles and Coats and that a sum not exceeding Three Hundred Pounds, at the Discretion of the Council be paid out to the Treasury of this State to each of the said Committee, to enable them to pay for said Clothing, with a reasonable Reward to the Agents for their Services, said Committee to be accountable for the Money they shall receive.
And it is earnestly recommended to the good People in the several Towns in this State, to exert themselves to make, or otherwise supply their full proportions of the Articles of Clothing aforesaid, and more if they can produce them; and to be very careful that they might be of the best Quality, that so the soldier may not be defrauded; and the said Agents are directed to receive none but such as are good and serviceable. / Sent up for Concurrence / J[ames] WARREN, Speaker / In COUNCIL, February 7, 1777. / Read and concurred. / JOHN AVERY, Dep. Secr’y.”
