”JOIN, or DIE” Newspaper From Benjamin Franklin’s ”Pennsylvania Gazette” in 1754 — The Most Influential Political Cartoon in America’s History & Only Known Copy Apart From the Library of Congress
The most influential political cartoon in the history of America, the ”JOIN, or DIE” severed rattlesnake designed by Benjamin Franklin and published in his ”Pennsylvania Gazette” on 9 May 1754. This incredibly scarce newspaper is the very first printing of the ”JOIN, or DIE” cartoon, and the only known copy apart from one other housed in the permanent collection at the Library of Congress. Sold for $50,000.
Exceptionally scarce original charcoal sketch created and signed by James Montgomery Flagg of his iconic ”I Want You!” artwork, used by the U.S. Army in 1917 to recruit for World War I. Perhaps nothing embodies the physical representation of America more than this artwork, which finally put a face to ”Uncle Sam”, the nickname for the United States since the Revolutionary War. In the build-up to America’s entry into WWI, this image was originally featured on the 6 July 1916 cover of Leslie magazine with the text ”What are you doing for preparedness?”. The words ”I Want You” were added in February 1917, shortly after the U.S. intercepted code from Germany, encouraging Mexico to ally itself with Germany to fight the United States. Recognizing that war was imminent, the U.S. Army ordered posters for recruitment efforts, and an American icon was born. Likely created in the early 1940s, when the image was also used for WWII recruitment, this is the only known original artwork by Flagg of his iconic creation, apart from the 1916 original. Measures 24.5” x 34.5”. Tape along top edge on verso, and affixed to mat at bottom left corner. Light rippling along top and bottom edge and minimal charcoal offsetting near bottom. Overall in very good to near fine condition, striking in its size and presentation. Sold for $25,000.
The Scarcest of 19th Century Campaign Banners Hand-Colored by Currier and Ives — The John Bell and Edward Everett Jugate Banner Broadside for the 1860 Presidential Election
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.
”I Want You” original Army recruitment poster from 1917 by James Montgomery Flagg. Perhaps nothing embodies the physical representation of America more than this poster, which finally put a face to ”Uncle Sam”, the nickname for the United States since the Revolutionary War. In the build-up to America’s entry into WWI, this image was originally featured on the 6 July 1916 cover of Leslie magazine with the text ”What are you doing for preparedness?”. The words ”I Want You” were added in February 1917, shortly after the U.S. intercepted code from Germany, encouraging Mexico to ally itself with Germany to fight the United States. Recognizing that war was imminent, the U.S. Army ordered this poster for recruitment efforts, and an American icon was born. Copyright information is printed along bottom margin, ”Copyright, 1917, Leslie – Judge Co., N.Y.” Poster measures 30” x 40.5”. In stunning condition, with folds smoothed against linen backing. Virtually no toning, with bright colors. A few minor creases, overall near fine condition. Sold for $11,000.
Very rare poster advertising ”New York’s Birthday Salute to President Kennedy” from 19 May 1962, famously remembered for Marilyn Monroe’s breathless serenade of ”Happy Birthday Mr. President” to JFK. Two-color letterpress poster in red, white and blue features a slew of famous performers including Jack Benny, Henry Fonda, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe. The event was a resounding success, selling out all 15,000 tickets and raising over a million dollars for the Democratic party. Poster measures 14” x 20”, printed by the Amalgamated Lithographers of America, as noted at lower right. Pinholes to corners and light creasing, but overall a very good plus example of this highly collectible poster, with another copy selling for $8,750 at Bonhams in 2017. Sold for $7,854.
Very Scarce, Original 1856 Runaway Slave Poster — Large Broadside Measures 9″ x 12.75″
Original runaway slave poster, dated 25 March 1856 from Fredericksburg, Virginia. Poster reads in full: “Absconded from Traveller’s Rest Estate in Stafford county, three negro Men, Barnaby, Jim and Dilly…Billy left my farm on the 3d day of March, Jim on the 17th and Barnaby on the 24th. It is not believed that any of these men have any idea of escaping to a free State, but instead merely absconding where they can remain in the greatest safety with the least danger of being caught within any distance around the said estate, where they are most secure. Barnaby is a large man, about 50 years of age, is bald on the top of his head, had a full beard on when he left, is of a slick brown color, not a mulatto, nor a black; very broad shoulders, is a first-rate Blacksmith and Carpenter, speaks politely when addressed. Jim is about 35 or 40 years old, of about the same color of Barnaby, and tall, though small about the lower part of the body, and slender legs; smiles when spoken to with an averted glance. Billy is a…mulatto, very tall, broad shoulders, very bushy head and very large feet, and about 21 years of age. These men may be together, they are certainly merely lurking around with no idea of going to a free State. That is my belief, but they may in end making [sic] their way to a free state by the first chance. I will give forty dollars reward for Barnaby, thirty for Jim, and twenty-five for Billy…Robert A. Gray, Fredericksburg, Va.” Incidentally, Robert Gray’s estate, “Eastwood,” still stands in Fredericksburg and was used as a hospital during the Civil War. Poster has folding throughout, though expertly reinforced on verso. Fully intact poster, measuring 9″ x 12.75″, is in fair condition, typical of publicly displayed posters and broadsides from the time period. Very scarce. Sold for $3,000.
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.
Norman Rockwell “Freedom” Four Poster Set — Original 1943 Printing
Original set of “Freedom” posters by Norman Rockwell, produced in 1943 from paintings Rockwell created to commemorate the Four Freedoms outlined by President Roosevelt in his 1941 State of the Union address. Roosevelt posited that everyone across the world should enjoy four basic freedoms: Freedom of Religion, Freedom From Want, Freedom From Fear and Freedom of Speech. Americans were so moved by these “human freedoms” that over $130 million dollars were raised in WWII bonds from display of Rockwell’s paintings. Each poster measures 20″ x 28″ and has one vertical and three horizontal folds. Set remains in near fine condition. Sold for $2,507.
