About this Item
Description:
16th president of the United States. Partly-printed AD, 7 3/4" X 13", Lynnville Precinct, IL, 1840 November. Near fine. Minor, even age toning. Lincoln ran for elector in the William H. Harrison vs. Martin Van Buren presidential election of 1840. He failed to get chosen as elector, though the Whig candidate Harrison did ultimately win the election. In this poll book leaf, headlined (partly printed) "Poll Book for Lynnville Precinct, Nov. 1840," the registered voter names run down the left margin (25) -- all penned in the same bold hand, no doubt an election official. A printed column running across the top, labeled "For Presidential Electors," lists ten elector candidates -- the last being Lincoln, whose first name is misspelled "Abram." The first five electors listed (which include Lincoln colleague, legislator and future Union general John A. McClernand, 1812-1900) were the Democratic electors representing Martin Van Buren and the last five electors were the Whig electors representing Harrison. The five Whig candidates performed poorly in this particular precinct, gathering far fewer votes than the five Democrat candidates. Nothing in Lincoln's hand here, but a rare relic of one of his first political disappointments at age thirty-one. A choice example in superb condition. Seller Inventory # 52393

Known as the "Father of the House of Representatives" for his lengthy (13 terms) service, this Pennsylvania representative served from 1887 to 1913. Partly-printed ADS, 1p, 3½" X 8½", n.p. [Washington, DC], n.d. [1895 September 25 inkstamped]. Near fine. Partly-printed Bureau of Pensions form for Congressional use. Dalzell pens in Loveina M. Kunkle of Pittsburgh as the claimant for soldier Jacob L. Kunkle of Company "I," 11th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, and requests to be advised on "present status claim," signing boldly. A private named Jacob L. Kunkle (1843-63) is known to have enrolled at Kittanning, Pennsylvania in 1862 and died of "Congestion of the Brain" in Virginia in 1862; Loveina was obviously next of kin, though her relationship is unclear, and presumably petitioned her congressman to find out if she could receive any pension because of this relationship. It's not believed Jacob Kunkle was married, so perhaps she was a sister. Seller Inventory # 31608

This self-styled "nephew" of Mark Twain was actually his third cousin, twice removed, but nevertheless made a career of editing and publishing sentimental, scholarly questionable works about Samuel Clemens such as "Gold Rush Days with Mark Twain" (1930), "Mark Twain and Mussolini" (1934), "My Cousin Mark Twain" (1939) and "Young Sam Clemens" (1942), along with editing the "Mark Twain Quarterly" upon its establishment in 1936 and founding the International Mark Twain Society. Partly-Printed ADS, 1p, 6¼" X 2 3/4", Kirkwood, Missouri, 1967 January 15. Check drawn on the First Security Bank in Kirkwood on pale blue stock, filled out and signed entirely in Clemens' large, bold hand in black fineline, made out to John Dos Passos in the amount of five dollars. Usual red inkstamped cancellation. Near fine. DOS PASSOS (1896-1970) was the prolific American novelist best known for his "U.S.A." trilogy. He boldly endorses the check on the verso in blue ballpoint. An interesting pairing of literary figures. Seller Inventory # 31816

Ironically, famed Lincoln sculptor Leonard Volk named his son after his mother's cousin: Stephen A. Douglas, who of course debated Abraham Lincoln in their famous 1858 Senate contest; Douglas became a portrait painter and muralist of renown. Marion Larrabee Volk was an artist and instructor at the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts. The two wed in 1881 and established a summer art colony in western Maine. Partly-Printed ADS, 1p, 6¼" X 2 3/4", New York, NY, 14 June 192[-]. Very good. Check drawn on The Fifth Avenue Bank, filled out in Volk's hand to his wife Marion L. Volk in the amount of $5.00 and signed in full at lower right; on the verso, she boldly endorses it. Printed on pale orange stock, with typical perforation cancellation. An unusual husband-and-wife example. Seller Inventory # 50733

This Polish-Jewish artist, illustrator and cartoonist fled Hitler's persecution but enjoyed skewering him in his 1941 book "The New Order"; a superb miniaturist and manuscript illuminator, his prints and book illustrations often bear a resemblance to stained glass windows and medieval illuminated manuscript leaves. Partly-Printed ADS, 1p, 6¼" X 2 3/4", New Canaan, CT, 20 November 1948. Near fine. Bank check drawn on The First National Bank & Trust Co., made out in Szyk's handsome printing to "Cash" in the amount of $27.00 and handsomely signed at lower right. On the verso he signs a second time. Usual bank cancellation perforations, not touching signature. A lovely twice-signed example dated just six months after Szyk attained American citizenship.
