Baley, Alice Miller, and Lewis Bordner totaling .75¢. 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. No copies in Worldcat, 1 similar copy located in the Clements Library, Univ. of Michigan.

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. At the height of the Victorian era, many would carry these specially printed cards to introduce themselves, for social calls, and even for wooing a prospective spouse.

Self-printed colour-illustrated boards, colour wheel on front cover, covers printed & illustrated in colour (minor scuffing, remnants of old label partially affecting colour wheel, slight scuffing, edgewear), still VG bright copy. First edition, thus, of this wonderfully printed and inventive colour ink sample catalogue for colour newspaper inks, developed specially for the newly introduced American Newspaper Publishers Association & American Association Advertising Agencies colour standards. Prior to their initial studies and reports newspapers were often published with muddy, misaligned, and very inaccurate colours, and formed a committee which by 1951 had produced specific standards on colour inks for comics, cartoon strips, and colour advertising in newspapers. This catalogue advertises with the California Ink Company's Process Standard Colours, Intermix Colours, and finally the Cal Ink Standard R.O.P. (Run-of-Paper} colours. The section on "Handy Tear-off Swatches" provides an excellent colour chart, as well as actual colour samples which could be ordered at the time from California Ink.The firm was founded in 1891 in Los Angeles as a Union Oil Co. subsidiary, and moved to San Francisco in 1896 by E.L. Hueter, and managed by Lewars (b. 1866), who along with others in the company opened the office in their factory at West Berkeley following the 1906 Earthquake & Fire which destroyed their records. In 1919, the company was reincorporated and purchased by Graham, Shattuck, Reed & Nathan. They developed a white ink for marking bees, perfumed ink for use in advertising, were main suppliers of pigment colours and varnishes on the West Coast, and developed the first "Litho Red" ink made in the U.S.k and developed the first magnetic inks for check imprinting in 1950.

To advertising men -- Subway Car Cards offer a combination unique in New York [Salesman sample packets of 25 miniature car card poster designs and 11 miniature poster designs created by 23 of the leading American Modernist poster artists in the Mid-20th-Century, illustrating for prospective clients the significant return on advertising with the New York subway system.]

Contact seller5-star sellerOblong 8vo. sales packet, 10.75 x 5.5 in., containing two packets of promotional samples: 1st - 25 colour-printed miniature car cards sized 10.7 x 5.5 in., all printed in full colour as samples for the typical 21 x 11 full size format car card, sales info, artist's biographies & illustrations in black & white on versos; 2nd - 11… (of 12) miniature posters sized 5.5 x 8.5 in. printed in full colour as samples for the typical 30 x 45 in. posters to be displayed in Subway tunnels, all w/ sales info & artist's biographies on versos (slight edgewear, 1 car card w/ very slight closed tear at fore-edge, very slight age toning), both sets, preserved w/ nearly intact remnants of original mailing envelope (chipping, edgewear, age toning, paint blot on back cover), still NF/G sets. First editions of these remarkable salesman sample cards issued in 1947 in order for the New York Subways Advertising Co. Inc., to boost advertising profits for the company which held the monopoly contract with the New York Subway Authority for decades. Following two reports generated in 1944 & 1945 by the CBS subsidiary -- "Readership of Subway Cards, First Medium in America's First Market" (1944) and "Detailed Circulation Analysis of New York Subway Advertising," these sample cards were able to indicate to potential advertisers that the 5.6 million monthly subway riders averaging 26 rides a month, with rides lasting over 23 minutes offered an invaluable captive audience. As indicated by the instructions on the original envelope here, the cards were to be returned to NYSA Co. after 5 days, and presumably they would either sign a contract, and NYSA Co. would subsequently pitch another client. The artists featured here offered some of the finest examples of Mid-Century-Modern American graphic designs, and presented striking eye-catching artwork to be displayed as car cards or posters.The miniature car cards include striking artwork designs from such artists as: Trude Margo (b. 1917), Austrian-American fashion and cover artist for Harper's Bazaar; Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954) considered the "Poster King;" Antonio Petrucelli (1907-1994) noted illustrator for House Beautiful, Fortune Magazine, The New Yorker, and Collier's Today, who would illustrate charts, diagrams, cover art, caricatures, and posters; Paul Rand (1914-1996) considered one of the premier Modernist graphic designers; Sascha Mauer (1897-1961), best remembered for his iconic ski and travel posters; Joseph Binder (1898-1972) Austrian-American poster designer recognized as one of the pioneers of modern poster art; Lucien Bernhard (1883-1972) a German-American poster artist well known for creating the Sachplakat poster style, as well as typeface designer, and graphic artist; Erik Nitsche (1908-1998) a pioneering design artist, and significant and influential post-War Modernist poster designer; Arthur Hawkins, Jr. (1903-1986) noted poster artist, dustjacket cover artist, and landscape painter, and many others. The packet of 11 miniature salesman sample poster designs opens with Kauffer's "Subway Posters Perform Daily Before Five Million Pairs of Eyes" which as one of the series of one-sheet designs at the core of the 1947-1948 advertising campaign won the Award for Distinctive Merit from the Art Directors Annual of Advertising & Editorial Art in 1948. Copies of the larger Kauffer poster, and the others in the series created immediate demand, and were subsequently shown as part of an exhibit of American poster art in Vienna, and then in Japan. Additional artists featured with the posters who did not contribute to the subway car cards series were Jean Carlu (1900-1997) who was a French graphic designer of poster, and essential for the War Bonds drive posters during World War II, and helped shape modern poster art through his bold, streamlined compositions; and Harker (1910-1961) noted book illustrator, poster artist and packaging illustrator in Chicago and the West Coast. Advertisements were always.

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.

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 illustr…ated 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.
