The Federalist Papers 

 The Federalist by Publius, Rare Second Edition, Two Volumes

 

What screams “American pride” more than a copy of The Federalist? Take home this exceedingly rare second edition copy of the most influential work of American political thought ever recorded. “The Federalist” comprises the collected printing of the eighty-five seminal essays written in defense of the newly-drafted Constitution, composed by John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton. The second edition is notable for the addition of the federal constitution and the first eleven amendments, and a series of articles written by Hamilton under the pseudonym "Pacificus," defending Washington's "Neutrality Proclamation" of 1793 regarding the Anglo-French war. It is arguably the most complete edition, and the only other English language edition issued in Hamilton's lifetime.



The Lone-Star Flag

 Texas State Flag, Annin Flag Company, Circa 1930's

 

Would it be a Texas pop-up without a Texas flag? This Texas State Flag by the Annin Flag Company is from the 1930’s and is elegantly displayed in a custom-built frame. The state flag is often referred to as the “Lone-Star Flag” for its single star displayed in the center of the canton. The flag was first introduced when the Republic of Texas was established in 1838. Even still, this flag stands as a symbol of Texan pride to this day.



George Washington and Abraham Lincoln Collage

 George Washington and Abraham Lincoln Autographed Collage

 

An absolutely stunning piece, this collage celebrates two of our country’s greatest leaders and political minds; George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The collage includes two striking etchings of these presidents, along with authentic autographs artfully displayed together at center in an inset window with gold beaded fillet.


The George Washington signature features a large and boldly signed autograph. It is a conclusion of a manuscript letter, penned “I am Sir, Your most obedient” and signed “G. Washington”. Beneath the bold signature, and in another hand, reads: “The Signature of the Father of his Country was made/ in July 1778.-/ Portsmouth April 1818” and signed in pencil “Joseph T. Canon.” Below the Washington signature is an autographed signed note by Abraham Lincoln. The note reads, in full: "Sec. of War, please see Col. Barret, and see if you can not agree with him about taking his Cavalry Reg't to Kansas & the Indian frontier." The note is signed at bottom right “A. Lincoln” and dated at bottom left “Oct. 10, 1861.” The elements are presented in a custom hand-built black and gold wooden frame, framed according to the highest conservation standards.

Everybody, Every Payday: Collecting WWII Payroll Savings Bond Posters
Everybody, Every Payday: Collecting WWII Payroll Savings Bond Posters

March 20, 2024

 The Payroll Savings Plan was the backbone of the WWII savings and bond sales effort. Employees could authorize a certain allotment from each paycheck to be saved towards the purchase of a war savings bond and the employer would deliver the bond out of the designated savings from his paycheck. There was an outpouring of poster art on both the local and national levels to encourage enrollment. These posters successfully created a national ethic of collective thrift for the greater good, and positioned “saving”  as in the service of democracy. The Payroll Savings Program was majority source of all war bond sales during the war.
