[There are 42 Image Credits]. Isabella Lucy Bird, married name Bishop FRGS (15 October 1831 - 7 October 1904), was a nineteenth-century British explorer, writer, photographer, and naturalist. With Fanny Jane Butler she founded the John Bishop Memorial hospital in Srinagar. She was the first woman to be elected Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. After an illness, doctors urged a sea voyage and in 1854 Bird's life of traveling began when the opportunity arose for her to sail to the United States, accompanying her second cousins to their family home. Her father "gave her [£]100 and leave to stay away as long as it lasted". Bird's "bright descriptive letters" written home to her relations formed the basis for her first book, An Englishwoman in America (1856), published by Murray. John Murray, "as well as being Isabella's lifelong publisher, . [became] one of her closest friends" Reprint Edition, presumed first printing thus.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 8" x 10.75", 256 pp, extensively illustrated with b/w halftones. Blue cloth boards heavily worn and soiled, cloth split at upper spine, hinges tender, pages with old dampstaining and occasional soiling. A complete, serviceable copy of this early, in-depth guide to display merchandising for hardware and general stores ("hardware" being used here a bit more broadly than it is today), covering everything from from color and form to fixtures and content, for windows that are themed, unthemed, seasonal, whimsical, practical, elaborate, elegant, and just plain odd. The copious illustrations and examples of real-life displays are a wonderful window (pardon the pun) onto turn-of-the-century American retail practices and the way browsers of the day would have experienced the shops they visited. As the Introduction states, "If a store has good windows regularly, people will learn to look for them. They will walk blocks out of their way to see what is new. The returns will come later. Persons who noted the articles shown may not have needed them at the time. [but] when they do need them, they will remember the window in which they saw them.".

State "A" of volumes one and three, state "B" (issued with part 16) of volume two. 19th-century half-Morocco to style over marbled boards, spines gilt. Within individual chemises and slipcases. First edition of this Americana highspot, a profusely illustrated record of prominent nineteenth-century Native Americans, which was "the grandest color-plate book issued in the United States up to the time of its publication." (Reese) Thomas McKenney, a Quaker, was Superintendent of Indian Affairs from 1816-1822. While in this post he became concerned for the survival of Western tribes after observing unscrupulous people taking advantage of Native Americans for profit. McKenney decided to create an archive to preserve the artifacts and history of Native Americans whose culture was disappearing due to settler-colonialism. A visit to the studio of artist Charles Bird King inspired McKenney to add portraits to his archive. McKenney helped start the first national collection in Washington, the Archives of the American Indian, and served as curator of this archive while he was Superintendent of Indian Affairs and head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Perhaps surprisingly, in his government role, McKenney advocated for Indians to be removed to somewhere west of the Mississippi and the portraits he commissioned make reference to the benefits of missionary and "civilizing" work. He was instrumental in the passage of the 1830 Indian Removal Act, but also criticized some government policies toward Indians, which led President Jackson to dismiss McKenney from his post in 1830. After leaving government, McKenney was able to turn more of his attention to his publishing project recording biographies and portraits of Native Americans. Within a few years, he was joined by James Hall, a journalist, lawyer, and the Illinois state treasurer, who had written extensively about the West. Both authors saw their book as a way of preserving an accurate visual record of a rapidly disappearing culture. The text, which was written by Hall based on information supplied by McKenney, takes the form of a series of biographies of leading figures among the Indian nations, followed by a general history of the North American Indians. The work is famous for its color-plate portraits of chiefs, warriors, and women of various tribes, which are faithful copies of original oils by Charles Bird King. King painted the illustrious Indians from life in his studio in Washington, D.C., where McKenney commissioned him to record visiting Indian delegations from 1821 to 1837. At times King's paintings were worked up from the watercolors of the young frontier artist, James Otto Lewis. All but four of the book's original paintings were destroyed in the disastrous Smithsonian fire of 1865; their appearance in this work preserves what is probably the best likeness of many of the most prominent Indian leaders of the early 19th-century. Among King's sitters were Sequoyah, Red Jacket, Major Ridge, Cornplanter, and Osceola. This was the most elaborate plate book produced in the United States to that date, and its publishing history is complex. Its production spanned eight years, multiple lithographers, and was funded by 1,250 subscribers. The title pages give an indication of issue: Volume I, first issue was by Edward C. Biddle and is dated 1836; the second issue was by Frederick W. Greenough with the date 1838; and the third issue is by Daniel Rice and James G. Clark and dated 1842. Volume II, first issue is by Frederick W. Greenough and dated 1838; and the second issue is by Rice and Clark and dated 1842. Volume III, first issue is by Daniel Rice and James G. Clark and dated 1844.
