ONE. Letter, signed 'Wm Brown'. 3 pp, 12mo. Bifolium. 25 lines. Text clear and complete. Good, on lightly-aged paper. He is 'greatly disappointed' that, '[h]aving gone to the expense of building the Hall of Inventions & Science', 'the five Learned Societies' that 'induced' him 'to make that addition to the Library, have taken no effectual means to make it available for the purpose intended'. Brown 'promised £100 towards the fittings', and is sending a cheque for that amount. Continues: 'I clearly see you will do no good unless you have one or two active gentlemen amongst you who will raise the ways & means to do what is necessary, & a much more active Chairman than myself.' He is 'quite discouraged & disappointed that no efficient steps have yet been taken to make it useful'. TWO. Printed pamphlet. Full title: 'Liverpool Gallery of Inventions and Science. Fifth Annual Report of the Committee, and Proceedings of the Aggregate Meeting of the Four Societies, held on the 7th November, 1865.' 10 pp, 8vo. Stitched; in pink printed wraps. Text clear and complete. Internally good, in discoloured wraps with slight damp-staining at foot. Title-page on front wrap is p.1, with the text comprising pp.3-10. The report is signed in type, p.10, 'JOHN ABRAHAM, Chairman.' It ends: 'It was moved by Mr. JOHN NICOL, and carried unanimously: - "That a vote of thanks be passed to the Chairman, Mr. JOHN ABRAHAM."' Largely concerning a dispute between the Gallery and the Liverpool Literary and Philosophical Society; with transcripts of several letters by the Society's Honorary Secretary, Cuthbert Collingwood. Scarce: no copy of this report in the British Library or on COPAC.

Average. Map exhibits wear and toning on old fold lines. Several large repaired tears. Laid down on archival tissue for stability. Size 15.75 x 19.25 Inches. A rare 1864 view of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Brooklyn, when it hosted the 1864 Brooklyn Sanitary Fair - a women-driven fundraising effort during the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). The view looks down Montague Street form Lafayette at the original location of BAM. The original building at 176 Montague was built in 1861 by architect Leopold Eidlitz, a founding member of the American Institute of Architects. This building sadly burnt to the ground in 1903 and was replaced by the current Peter Jay Sharp Building. The Sanitary Commission and the Civil War The Sanitary Commission was a private relief agency founded during the American Civil War to raise money for food, clothing, medical supplies, and better conditions for Union Civil War soldiers. The movement was inspired by the British Sanitary Commission founded by Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War (1853 - 1856). Although headed by a small group of men, the Sanitary Commission was largely organized and run by women volunteers. Fairs were held around the country to raise money for the Sanitary Commission. In 1864, towards the end of the war, an enormous Sanitary Fair was held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It raised $400,000, equal to about four million of today's dollars. While scarcely remembered today, the fair was a major success, publicized throughout the Union and celebrated in prints, views, and posters. Chromolithography Chromolithography is a color lithographic technique developed in the mid-19th century. The process involved using multiple lithographic stones, one for each color, to yield a rich composite effect. Oftentimes, the process would start with a black basecoat upon which subsequent colors were layered. Some chromolithographs used 30 or more separate lithographic stones to achieve the desired product. Chromolithograph color could also be effectively blended for even more dramatic results. The process became extremely popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when it emerged as the dominate method of color printing. The vivid color chromolithography produced made it exceptionally effective for advertising and propaganda imagery. Publication History and Census This view was drawn and lithographed by Arthur Brown for Henry McCloskey's Brooklyn Manual of 1864. Scarce.
