First edition of this wonderfully preserved salesman's catalogue of Victorian die-cut chromolithograph visiting cards from the Crown Card Co. in Columbus, OH. The Crown Card Co. does not appear in street directory listings, or commercial listings in and around Columbus, Ohio through from 1880 through 1910, so it may have been operating purely as mail order subsidiary from the Crown Card Co. located in Cadiz, OH through salesmen and sales agents, with notice on the front cover here indicating that this catalogue was "given as a premium for a $ 1.00 card order." At the height of the Victorian era, many would carry these specially printed novelty cards to introduce themselves, for social calls, and even for wooing a prospective spouse. Traveling salesmen would often contract with one or more card maker, and many could make a very good living selling the beautifully printed pieces.

First edition of this scarce and exceptionally preserved salesman's catalogue of Victorian die-cut chromolithograph visiting cards. The Clinton Brothers maintained a successful printing house and stationery store which specialized in visiting and address cards, often with promotions for note paper, pen knives, or cuff buttons & shirt studs. The business appears to have possibly drawn upon colour lithography printers in Rochester, NY, and surrounding areas for their chromolithograph catalogues and novelties, which also included greeting cards, postcards, and advertisements.

First edition, of this scarce World War I-era greeting card and advertising promotions salesman's sample catalogue filled with beautifully executed printer's samples to help raise morale during the brutal second year of the Great War. 1915 opened with the disheartening Neuve Chapelle offensive by General Haig, and subsequent political fallout, battles of Aubers Ridge, Festubert, Loos, as well as Zeppelin bombings, and U-Boat blockade transformed the War and Great Britain into an all out effort, and grinding stalemate of trench warfare. With millions of men separated from their families, and homes, W.N. Sharpe and other publisher's quickly expanded and adapted ensuring that postcards, and greeting cards were supplied, so that people far from loved ones could exchange morale-boosting messages. These greeting cards were available to be embossed with regimental badges, flags of the allies, patriotic messages, and would prove to be wildly popular during the opening years of the War. When initially prepared for printing in late 1914, there were only 25 Regimental badges, but this quickly grew to 62, and here Sharpe has included the updated list. The greeting cards and Christmas cards feature Bromide photos of English Bulldogs with British Empire flags; soft-focus images of idyllic rural scenes, mothers & children; Naval scenes; flower arrangements, and even King George V. By the early 20th-Century W.N. Sharpe was one of the largest greeting card and postcard colour printing companies in the World, on par with Raphael Tuck, and were well known for their famed "Patent FAB Patchwork Card" which featured a decorative square of silk that could be cut out and worked into a pin cushion, or tea cozy. Following World War I, they would continue to expand into producing stationery, wedding cards and stationery, birthday cards, along with calendars, postcards, and many other paper ephemera. In 1937, they would built the historic 76,000 square foot Hallmark House in Bradford, and later in 1984 was acquired by Hallmark Cards of the United States.

Folio. [2 unnumbered] leaves of text. With 40 mounted hand-coloured plates beautifully reproducing the original designs Rococco chinoiserie designs (3 plates w/ old reinforced mounts at upper corners, a few w/ old offsetting from the original glue). Preserved in the original quarter-chinoiserie cloth over boards, printed illustrated label on front cover, front tie loosened from the fore-edge (edgewear, rubbing), still a nice complete set of these plates. First edition, thus, of this exceptional portfolio reproducing the exquisite and fanciful botanical settings, landscapes, and allegorical Chinese figures from this extraordinary artist. His chinoiserie engravings exaggerated the wispy and delicate qualities of the style, portraying the world as a fairyland, fileed with colour, and fantasy. His 18th-Century Rococo designs were wildly popular by decorative arts manufacturers and applied to silk textiles, porcelain, pottery, wallpapers, and even silver. Pillement (1719-1808) had developed by 1764 a new method of printing on silk with fast colours, and that also encouraged the durability and legacy of his designs. The majority of these were engraved by the noted woman artist & engraver Anne Allen, a British artist who not only was the second wife to Pillement, but created etchings based on his paintings by using the "a la poupee," or multi-colour Intaglio copperplate engraving style of printmaking which breathed life into the intricate scenes. This portfolio reproduces many of her portfolios, as well as those executed by Gauthier Dagoty, Canot, Avril, and Robert Cooper.
