Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First. "THE CLIMAX OF THE CONFLUENCE OF JOURNALISM AND LITHOGRAPHY" First edition. Paris: Plon brothers for New York: D. Appleton & Co. and Philadelphia: George S. Appleton, 1851. Folio (22 7/8" x 17 3/16", 578mm x 435mm). With a lithographed map and 12 hand-colored lithographed plates (the plate…s loose, each window-matted, within a separate chemise) heightened in gum arabic. Bound in contemporary (?) card wraps, backed in modern red cloth. On the front wrapper, the publisher's red moiré cloth title-label gilt. Presented in a morocco-backed clam-shell case, with the text inset and the plates in a four-fold chemise. The wrappers sometime creased, the front a little cockled at the label. Tanning to the map; else near fine. The odd spot of foxing to the plates, each captioned in graphite manuscript. An exceptional set of a work seldom well-preserved. George Wilkins Kendall (1809-1867) and Carl Nebel (1805-1855) had each become distinguished for their publications, Kendall for his sensational account of capture and imprisonment in Mexico 1841-1842, Nebel for his picturesque Voyage pittoresque et archéologique dans la partie la plus intéressante du Méxique, with an introduction by no less than Alexander von Humboldt. The Mexican-American War of 1846-1848, which ended with the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo in 1848 and the cession of some 55% of Mexico's territory to the United States (including modern California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona), provided an opportunity for the two specialists to collaborate. The war between the United States and Mexico illustrated has been called "the climax of the confluence of journalism and lithography" (Martha Sandweiss, Rick Stewart and Ben W. Huseman. Eyewitness to War. Fort Worth, TX and Washington, D.C.: Amon Carter Museum and Smithsonian Institution Press, 1989; pp. 36-37), and it might be said that no publication did more to bring current events vividly to the eye of the public. Punishingly expensive ($34-40 depending on the binding), the work was carried out by Plon frères et Compagnie in Paris, where Kendall was reporting from 1848 while Nebel was still in Mexico drawing the views. The introduction underscores the journalistic aims of the work, including representing the fighting men in their "ordinary fatigue caps and dresses" rather than the showier but inaccurate full dress uniforms. Kendall has been dubbed the first modern war-correspondent, and his descriptions of the battles are distinct from the sensationalist and jingoistic accounts usually to be found in the press. Still, the publication is clear in its triumphalism; the famous depiction of Winfield Scott's entrance into Mexico City, the flag of the United States flying, is the totem of Manifest Destiny. The work is very often to be found in tatters, and so the fine condition of this set, each plate being separately window-mounted on archival museum board, is of particular note. It would be a good candidate for framing and display. Bennett, American 19th Century Colour Plate Books, p. 65; Howes K 76 ("b"); Sabin 37362; Sandweiss-Stewart-Huseman op. cit., pp. 36-37.

Loose in original maroon cloth, gilt portfolio (ties lacking). First edition. George W. Kendall was a printer, a respected newspaperman, and a journalist whose account of his Santa Fe Trail adventures in 1841-1842, following his surrender to the Mexicans, was first published as letters in serial publications. His story, once released in book form in 1844, was so compelling that it went through many contemporary editions and upwards of 40000 copies were sold through the conclusion of the Mexican War in 1847. Kendall supported the admission of Texas to the Union, and was in Texas as a reporter when he heard the news of the Mexican War. "Despite his earlier experiences, he accompanied the armies of Generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott into Mexico as a war correspondent. While there, he captured a cavalry flag, was wounded in the knee, and earned widespread praise for devising, with Lumsden, methods for swift transmission of his war dispatches to the "Picayune". The men fitted out a small steamer as a press ship; it met other ships bearing war news, readied the news for printing, and took it to New Orleans, where workers at the "Picayune" rushed it to the press. It was circulated in the city and transmitted by swift express riders to other newspapers in the country. Kendall's biographer Fayette Copeland says that his Mexican War journalism made him famous as "the first modern war correspondent and the most widely known reporter in America in his day" (p. 150). "Before leaving Mexico, Kendall had agreed to write a book about the war that a [German] artist, Carl Nebel, was to illustrate. In 1848 Kendall sailed to France to work on the book, which was published in New Orleans and New York in 1851 as "The War between the United States and Mexico Illustrated". While in France, Kendall wrote frequent dispatches for the "Picayune" about the revolution of 1848. He also met and in 1849 married Adeline de Valcourt, a woman twenty-two years his junior, with whom he had four children. In 1852 he and his family moved to Texas near the present city of New Braunfels, where he became a sheep farmer at his ranch, "Post Oak" (Mary Ann Wimsatt for ADNB). "The very best American battle scenes in existence" (Bennett) Nebel, originally from Hamburg in Germany, travelled to America and lived in Mexico from 1829 until 1834. In 1836, he published in Paris his celebrated work "Voyage pittoresque et archéologique dans la partie la plus intéressante du Méxique", with 50 lithographs and an introduction by renowned explorer Alexander Humboldt. Nebel's magnificent plates in this volume depict the major battles of the Mexican War in dramatic and glorious detail, and include: "Probably the finest lithographic view of Texas produced in the nineteenth century" (Tyler) Battle of Palo. The only Texas lithograph in the work .The Battle of Palo Alto (May 8, 1846), fought on Texas soil north of Brownsville, was the first major engagement of the Mexican-American War and the first U.S. victory (Handbook of Texas Online: Battle of Palo Alto). The view, which shows the action from the perspective of a viewer behind the U.S. lines looking south toward the Mexican positions, has been praised for its artistic beauty and historical verisimilitude. Ron Tyler rates the print as "probably the finest lithographic view of Texas produced in the nineteenth century." Tyler comments: "Nebel adopted a practice in the Palo Alto print, that also turns up in later ones, of p.

Contact seller3-star sellerHand colored print (1), matted and framed with UV conservation glass. Hand-colored lithograph and elaborated by Adolphe Jean-Baptiste Bayot (b. France 1810-1866) based on paintings by Carl Nebel (b. Germany 1805-1855). Heightened with gum arabic by Adolphe Jean-Baptiste Bayot after Carl Nebel): "Nebel's version of Scott's entran…ce sticks closer to the truth and is packed with psychological drama. There is no doubt here that the war is still on. Loaded cannons are posted to sweep the streets, while a body of dragoons in the foreground gathers tensely with drawn sabers near General Scott and his staff. In a particularly effective narrative detail, one of the dragoon officers, on a white horse in the center foreground, glares at a lepero on the left who is preparing to throw a stone. From the street or from doorways and partially closed windows, other citizens watch with fear, curiosity, apprehension, indignation, and in the case of the lepero with the stone and the armed men on the roof, open hostility, an allusion to the violence that broke out shortly thereafter." In the introduction to the 1994 TSHA reprint of the Kendall-Nebel portfolio (pp. xxiv), Tyler comments: "Nebel's picture of the grand plaza of Mexico, with the cathedral in the center and the National Palace at the right, is almost identical to his earlier print" [in Voyage Pittoresque; see Item 435 herein].

Folio. 12 fine hand-coloured lithograph…ic plates, heightened with gum arabic, by Bayot (11) or Bayot & Bichebois (1) after Nebel, printed by Lemercier in Paris, 1 lithographed map. Expertly bound to style in half red morocco and period red cloth covered boards, spine gilt. A first-hand report, in words and pictures, of the first offensive war fought by the United States: the first and only edition, with superb hand-coloured lithographed plates of one of the most important pictorial works relating to the Mexican-American War. Kendall was America's first great war correspondent, and an ardent proponent of the necessity of America's war with Mexico. When hostilities broke out, he went at once to the Rio Grande where he joined with the Rangers, and later attached himself to the Scott expedition. For this work he keyed his text to the individual plates and the combination affords a detailed illustrated account of each battle. The plates are the work of the German artist, Carl Nebel, who painted each of the twelve major clashes of the war. Kendall notes in his preface that "Of the twelve illustrations accompanying his work. the greater number were drawn on the spot by the artist.
