There are more house drawings and photographs along with a few monuments and other things. I find many of the blog post subjects myself but this one is because I found a listing for the book here https://www.backintimerarebooks.com/pages/books/7649/mrs-john-king-van-rensselaer/newport-our-social-capital-231-of-347-copies. I remember their booth at the Antiquarian Book Fair here last fall but what I do is pick up a few copies of the fair catalogue and work my way through the listings looking for ideas.

The Roosevelt Bears. Teddy bears named for President Theodore Roosevelt but before they entirely morphed into a small child’s stuffed animal kind of thing. These bears carry rifles and smoke pipes when they aren’t putting on academic robes and graduating from Harvard. A children’s book from 1906 written by Seymour Eaton and from a series of books about the Roosevelt Bears.

These images are from scanned versions of two different copies of the same edition of the same book. For reasons that I don’t really understand, they would print some copies all with black and white illustrations and others with a few in color.

I looked up most of these over on the Internet Archive but I got the idea from the Public Domain Review article as it was they who found it.

As with so many of these, they would have chromolithographs or other types of prints done up to sell after the expedition ended. Sometimes they would then turn the prints into a book. Sometimes not. Some of these are in the New York Public Library collections but these images are from the Internet Archive who appear to have more of them. The expedition itself was in 1853.

Etchings of bas reliefs on the walls of the Palace of the Neo-Assyrian king Sargon II in what is now Iraq. From a long time ago but not as far back as all that when you consider the fact that Sargon II died in 705 BC. 1839-1840 etchings, after Eugène Flandin.

In 1839 Eugène Flandin, along with Pascal Coste, joined the embassy of the Comte de Sercey to Iran. In May of 1841 they left Isfahan and traveled extensively throughout modern day Iran and Iraq. When Flandin got back he co-wrote a book about it. What they did to get up enough money for the next expedition, the way you’d have a Patreon and a website now.
