Deafness, if the Drum of the Ear be not injured ; likewise, those continual Singing Noises in the ear removed. Dr. Lamb- residence : - 48. Oldfield Road, Manchester. No place of publication, publisher or date of publication. [ Manchester : ? Late 19th early 20th century. ] Broadside. 420mm x 284mm. Printed black on white paper, on one side only. Slightly soiled, sometime folded, few very small holes, chipped along the top edge. Doctor Lamb was not only a " Herbal Remedy " but seemingly " . is the only man in Great Britain who cures all cases of Scurvy, Abscesses, Sore Legs, & c; without the use of ointment or any outward application ". 18 testimonials testify to the success in curing " Paralysis", "Deafness ", " Sore Eyelids ", and " Rheumatism " etc; etc. The late nineteenth century witnessed the burgeoning of quack advertising for cures and nostrums. Newspapers carried such adverts, the growth of popular literature, street hawkers and peddllers also did much to create a significant industry. The majority of the public were poor and could not afford professional medicine, they were also ignorant enough to be seduced by this quack advertising and readily bought into it. This advertising was uncontrolled until the beginning of the 20th century, when the government brought power to bear, especially, on the press, to restrict it, however this did not impact on this sort of street advertising. This is an unusual example of quack advertising in that it is printed on a Broadsheet instead of a Handbill which the majority would have been.

While listing hunting jackets, frock coats, velvet vests, etc., to show the level of luxurious material they would have on hand, under Dry Goods is listed "Negro Cloths."

Laid down on archival paper, few small chips along edge of border, but an attractive ante-bellum Mobile broadside, suitable for exhibition.

Average. Fairly even toning throughout. One area of discoloration at right. Pin holes. Corners clipped. Size 38.5 x 25 Inches. An iconic c. 1960 Trans World Airlines (TWA) New York City travel poster drawn by David Klein. A Closer Look The poster is a vibrant depiction of New York City, featuring landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Empire State Building, the Columbus Monument in Columbus Circle, and the Brooklyn Bridge, with a jet flying overhead. The words 'New York' at top are written in the distinctive title typeface of The New York Times . Klein, known for his iconic travel posters in the 1950s and 1960s, captured the essence of mid-20th-century air travel with this detailed artwork. New York City, TWA, and the Jet Age Although founded earlier (in 1930 as Transcontinental and Western Air), under the leadership of aviation legend Howard Hughes (1905 - 1976), Trans World Airlines became a household name. Having already built a reputable service between Los Angeles and New York City, soon after World War II, in February 1946, the airline established a regular New York - Paris passenger route. Initially relying on the propeller-driven, four-engine Lockheed Super Constellation, by the late 1950s, TWA had switched over to jet-engine aircraft, making them a somewhat late convert to the new technology (a costly mistake that resulted in Hughes losing control of the airline). Committing further to international flights from New York, between 1959 and 1962, TWA built the highly distinctive TWA Flight Center at New York's Idlewild Airport (later renamed JFK). The futuristic building became a symbol of air travel in the jet age (it recently was converted into a hotel, with a new Terminal 5 being built nearby). The company saw healthy profits in the early 1960s. It expanded to acquire Hilton Hotels, Century 21 Realty, and food service companies and added new destinations such as Hong Kong. However, like many established airlines, it faced headwinds from the 1970s onwards and eventually went bankrupt. It was sold to American Airlines in 2001. Publication History and Census This work was prepared by David Klein around 1960, one of a series of travel posters he made for TWA representing different U.S. cities and international destinations. Another seemingly more common and somewhat earlier Klein poster for TWA with the same text/title depicts Times Square at night. For this reason, a precise census is difficult to establish unless a catalog listing provides further detail. References: OCLC 1038021855.

Very good. On card, as issued. Some discoloration in the upper right. Size 12.25 x 18.5 Inches. A striking c. 1910 art-nouveau chromolithograph map of the world advertising Vini Spumanti Ajmar, an Italian fortified wine. The image depicts a red-haired woman bursting forth from a double hemisphere map of the world, champagne coupe raised in a toast. The image promotes Spumanti Ajmar's global reach (esportazione mondiale). Two holes appear at top center, where the piece was originally intended to be hung for display in cafes, restaurants, and wine shops. Ajmar L. Ajmar was a winemaker from Nissa Monferrato, a province of Asti, in Piedmont, Italy. Advertising for Ajmar appears from the late 19th century until about the 1950s. Trade directories suggest Ajmar remained active until at least 1959. Chromolithography Chromolithography, sometimes called oleography, 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 dominant method of color printing. The vivid color chromolithography produced made it exceptionally effective for advertising and propaganda imagery. Publication History and Census The map is undated, but based upon the style and printing method, it can only have appeared in the first 10 years of the 20th century. No lithographer, publisher, or engraver is identified. We note one example in the collections of the Paesaggi Vitivinicoli Di Langhe - Roero E Monferrat. Scarce.
