2 U.S. Civil War Patriotic Cover Albums 1860’s These are two Elbe albums with 270 Civil War patriotic covers from the 1860’s. The covers are unaddressed, with beautiful cachets and imprints, they are mainly Union covers, and the albums feature some Kimmel covers as well as slavery and black history covers. The covers are extremely clean and colorful, with a lot of variety, and there are no duplicates, according to John Kimbrough. John, an associate of Patricia Kaufmann’s, helped us evaluate the two albums at the Sarasota National Stamp Show this year. Patricia is a leading authority on Confederate stamps and covers, and John is an authority in his own right on Confederate stamps and covers, and he helped us identify the Kimmel covers in the collection. The collection was amassed by the consignor’s grandfather in the 1900’s, the covers were placed in the albums on corner mounts, and the albums come in attractive green slipcases that measure 11 3/8 x 10 1/2 in. wide. An attractive collection of Civil War patriotic covers for anyone with an interest in Civil War history.
Lot 17
Our Mutual Friend, By Charles, Dickens, in the original monthly parts as issued, complete with the original 20 parts bound in 19, in the original green wrappers, with Illustrations by Marcus Stone, London: Chapman And Hall, Piccadilly, a first edition, first issue, with “The right of Translation is reserved” in small italics at the bottom of the front wrappers. There are 40 plates altogether, all designed by Marcus Stone, and all engraved on wood by Dalziel and W.T. Green (21 by Dalziel and 19 by Green), all the plates are present, and the wrappers are housed in a green custom slipcase. The book was Dickens’ fourteenth novel and was published in monthly installments called “Parts” that ran from May 1864 to November 1865; the last installment had two parts - No. 19 and 20 - bound as one and cost 2 shillings, instead of the usual 1 shilling for each of the parts. It was also Dickens’ last complete novel - he wrote Edwin Drood in 1870, but died later that year, so Edwin Drood was only halfway done and incomplete when Dickens died. Our Mutual Friend also took longer for Dickens to write because he suffered recurrent illnesses towards the end of his life, and the illustrations by Marcus Stone that were engraved on wood by Dalziel and Green also mark a departure from the steel etchings in Dickens’ earlier works. The slipcase measures 9 5/8 x 6 3/4 in. wide and has “Our Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens, Original Parts” in black lettering on the spine, and the green wrappers are 8vo. and measure 8 3/4 x 5 5/8 in. wide. There are many points of issue present that we believe make this a first edition, first issue. The printer’s imprint (W. Clowe’s And Sons) is missing on the front wrapper of Part No. 1 and it appears at the bottom of all the other wrappers, as called for. Part No. 1 has the scare slip addressed to the reader bound in just before the first page of the text; the small white slip reads “The Reader will understand the use of the popular phrase OUR MUTUAL FRIEND, as the title of this book, on arriving at the Ninth Chapter (page 84)”, and Eckel (page 95) says it is a necessity to have this slip “to insure a perfect copy”. It also has the four-page advertisement “The Economic Life Assurance Society” in No. 19 (the ad is tucked underneath the uncut text on pages 257 through 264). Page 13 is misprinted “31” in the front ads in No. 10, and Hatton and Cleaver state that this misprint appears in a few copies. There are other ads which appear in these parts that are often missing too. Each part has the advertisers for “Our Mutual Friend” at the beginning of the ads in front. The Headless Horseman slip appears at the rear in No. 11 and No. 12; the yellow announcement slip for “All The Year Round” is present in No. 8, 12, and 18, and No. 18 has the rare yellow “At The Bar” ad on the slip for “All The Year Round”. No. 1 has the four pages of Thorley ads inserted at the rear and No. 6 has the orange Armadale slip. No. 12 has The People’s Pickwick full-page ad after the 2 plates and before the text, and all the Norton Pill ads and Mappin Webb ads that are required are here. There are numerous ads in green, pink, orange, and blue, and the only ads lacking are the scarce "Economic Life Assurance" ad in Part 14 and the green Foreign Bank Note slip at the rear of Parts 19 - 20, otherwise all the ads called for by Hatton and Cleaver are present. All the plates are clean and present, with tissue guards in between the plates for Nos. 16 and 17. There are light nicks at the edges of some of the wrappers. No. 1 has light soiling and wear along the edges and a tear in the lower right on the front wrapper. No. 5 has slight restoration at the bottom tip on the front wrapper, but you have to look to find it. No. 9 and 10 have small paper loss at the bottom corners of the front wrappers, and there is a faint black oval or circular stamp on the front of No. 7 and a darker circular stamp on the front of No. 11. Otherwise the wrappers and ads and text are clean. Besides WorldCat and abe.com, we used The First Editions Of Charles Dickens, Their Points and Values, John C. Eckel 1932 and A Bibliography of the Periodical Works of Charles Dickens: Bibliographical, Analytical & Statistical, by Thomas Hatton and Arthur Cleaver 1933 as reliable references. Eckel and Hatton and Cleaver are considered the bibles for periodical works by Dickens.

Lot 367
An important collection of autographed working notes for the composer Richard Wagner's 1841 novella 'Wie ein armer Musiker in Paris umkarn' (How a Poor Musician Died in Paris) together with an envelope addressed in Wagner's hand and three 19th century musical manuscripts composed by the operatic soprano Malvina Schnorr von Carolsfeld. Fleeing from his creditors, Richard Wagner (1813-1883) spent the years 1839-42 in Paris attempting to establish himself as a successful composer. In order to survive financially and to also gain recognition amongst Parisian society and the musical world, he began to write a series of essays, poems, novellas and articles for musical publications. These included the Gazette Musical and the Dresdner Abendzeiting, for which 'How a Poor Musician Died in Paris' was published in 1841. This novella was partly autobiographical and it documented the struggles of a starving composer in Paris. It was a period of intense creativity for Wagner which coincided with turbulent social unrest and revolution in Europe. In the same year that he wrote this novella, he also composed his celebrated opera The Flying Dutchman. Handwritten on Wagner's personalised embossed notepaper, these extensive working notes are written in ink spanning several numbered double-sided pages. They are titled and signed in Wagner's hand although the writing of the text itself is attributed to an 'A Sewald'. It is possible that Wagner was dictating to a scribe or a fellow writer prior to its publication. There are several corrections which are made in the margins and these may possibly by Wagner. The notes are accompanied with the cut-down front of an envelope which is written in Wagner's hand and addressed to Herrn Carl Brand, Obermaschinist am Hoftheater in Darmstadt, bearing a franked Bavarian 3kr rose stamp, circa 1870. Carl Brandt (1828-1881) was the Darmstadt Theatre Stage Manager. The autograph is attributed to Wagner in ink on the front of the envelope, presumably by Brandt. The three hand written 19th century musical manuscripts are compositions by the Danish born Portuguese operatic soprano Eugenia Malvina Schnorr von Carolsfeld (nee Garrigues, 1825-1904). They are titled 'Walperga's letztes Lied', 'Und wüßten's die Blumen, de kleinen' (after Heinrich Heine) and 'Volkstedt aus bohenzollernschern Land', each is inscribed 'Comp von M Schnorr von Carolsfeld Garrigues' and one is inscribed Carlsruhe and is possibly dated the 25th April 1876. Malvina studied music in Paris and made her operatic debut in Breslau in 1849. While performing at the Karlsruhe Opera she met and become engaged to the famed tenor Ludwig Schnorr von Carolsfeld and they married in 1860. Richard Wagner looked to Malvina and Ludwig Schnorr von Carolsfeld to create the roles of Tristan and Isolde in his opera of the same title which premiered in 1865. Ludwig's association with Wagner was unfortunately short lived; he died suddenly, aged 28. Malvina retired from the stage following her husband's death although she continued to compose music and to teach singing in Frankfurt. With thanks to Kristina Unger (Library & Autograph Collection) of the Richard Wagner Museum, Bayreuth for her help in the research of this collection.
