AT PUBLIC AUCTION · 1ruesday and Wednesday 1,' JUNE 9th and lOth, 1959 . I at 1:30 P.M. • .... 489 FIFTH A VENUE NEW YORK 17, N.Y. TeL MUrray Hlll 2-0980 ,,•' l COLORFUL, HISTORIC CIVIL WAR PATRIOTIC COVERS including the 109 volume prize-winning collection formed by the late Hugh M. Clark, for many years editor of the Scott Catalog, probably the finest assembly of fresh unused examples ever put to- gether, plus a wonderful group of postally used. This Collection, the result of many years search and research, is the finest of this character ever offered at public auction. The collec- tion contains virtually every recorded design of Patriotic, Northern and Southern, issued during the period of The War between the States. Replete in beautiful designs, flashing battlescenes, sparkling portraits of generals, statesmen, titles of regiments, corps, slogans, mottos, patriotic causes, the whole vivid history of these turbulent times flashes by. All the various printers and stationers of the period are represented including the gorgeous art work of the acknowledged masters of lithography, Charles Magnus and Fredrich Kimmel. Espe- cially to be noted are the many examples of the scarce Kimmel patriotics in black, the beautiful multi-colored and allegorical Magnus designs, views, battlescenes, panoramic views, birds-eye views, rose of Washington designs. The collection contains a wonderful section of the popular Lincoln presidential campaign, patriotic, and mourning covers both used and unused. Scarce Lincoln designs include the .I Davis-Lincoln Prize Fight in 5 Rounds, many graphic Magnus designs, and Lincoln "Review of the Army". Accompanying this wonderful collection is an extremely interest- ing and historical collateral collection of scarce Civil War Memorabilia including recruiting cards, scarce souvenir cards, song sheets, letter- sheets, patriotic ribbons, proofs of designs prepared for the lithogra- phers of the covers. With the current intense interest in these remembrances of the past and the approach of the lOOth Anniversary of this conflict, the collection offers to the interested collector, historian, museum or institution, a wonderful opportunity to acquire fascinating and color- ful covers and patriotic designs from the past. While it may be said that history sometimes repeats, it is doubtful that another collection of this magnitude will ever again appear on the auction market.
