Single sheet, 23 cm x 13 cm, printed on silk on one side; some very minor fraying to edges, and very slightly darkened, but otherwise in fine condition. A celebrated pianist, composer and inventor, Henri Herz (1803-1888), Austrian by birth but French by nationality and domicile, travelled world-wide, including tours in Europe, R…ussia, Mexico, South America, and the United States. In 1839 he founded his own piano factory where he made many important developments in piano design. This luxuriously produced announcement, printed on silk, seems to be for a performance by some sort of mechanical musical instrument, using cylinders which were "changed through the medium of the patent dials." According to the flier, the two cylinders were capable of performing "8 operatic airs," and "5 quadrilles and 3 waltzes." We have so far been able to identify the machine in question, although Herz made improvements, and patented designs for various sostenente (or sostinente) pianos - the name given to keyboard instruments on which the duration of sounds is artificially lengthened by methods such as compressed air, the quick striking of hammers, free sounding reeds, or by other clockwork or mechanical devices. The first known example was invented by Henry Robert Mott of Brighton in 1817. Herz worked upon sostenente piano mechanisms using both compressed air (obtained by means of bellows moved by pedals or a motor and which is directed upon already vibrating strings in order to prolong the vibration), notably his 'pianoeolique', as well as a 'melopiano', a method of sustaining tones through the repeated and quick striking of hammers. Fast rotating cylinders were one way of achieving this. This appealing silk promotional flier has been printed by the artist and engraver George Phillips Johnson (1807?-1848).

Condition: Very Good. Silk scarf measuring 12" x 12". Two fold lines (one horizontal, one vertical) through the center. 1" split in the cloth to the surface. A sporty design by John Held Jr. Utah Artist John Held Jr. (1889-1958) was a prominent illustrator of the 1920s and 1930s. He began by drawing sports and political drawings… for The Salt Lake Tribune when he was just 16 years old. Held moved to New York City in 1910, where he went on to gain notoriety for his drawings in the popular magazines "Life," "The New Yorker," "Vanity Fair," "Judge," and "College Humor." His work epitomized the Jazz Age. He is most recognized for creating the short-haired "flapper.".

Contact seller5-star sellerBroadside printed on pale green silk, 29 x 5.7 cm, with Romantic head- and tailpieces and decoratively-tufted lateral edges. From the neatly sewn lateral edges and the rather frayed and unadorned upper and lower edges, it seems likely that the item was printed in serial impressions on a single long, pre-prepared strip of silk, a…nd then cut into individual sheets. Issued in honor of Abraham Beccü's 57th birthday, this is a very charming piece of amateur poetry, celebrating the joy in Beccü's life and his relationship with his children (nowhere is a wife or mother referred to). Beccü's unusual name suggests that his ancestors were among the French Huguenot refugees who settled in Prenzlau, on the border with Poland, in the late 17th century. Between 1806 and 1813, the region was occupied by Napoleon's troops.
