  • January 1976
    A~~OOO@£~ R ~ w~ rl!n!ll ~ oo Journal of the American Revenue Association Vol. 30, No. 1, Whole Number 281 January 1976 The Dies of the U. S. Private Die Proprietary Medicine Stamps Part I By Associate Editor Richard F. Riley ABSTRACT The more interesting private die proprietary medicine stamps are exam­ ined, evidently for the first time, for evidence of the utilization of the various engraving techniques available to the artisans of the period. The analysis, while speculative to a considerable degree may prove of interest to the col­ lector of any of the early U. S. revenues, private die or otherwise. It is found that the private die proprietaries form an exemplary subject for such an analysis, possibly the best philatelic example available. This is becausl'. several denominations of stamps were used by more than one company, th~ latter occasioning name changes on the issued stamps. From the analysi,;; which will follow in installments, a new die variety or two emerges, consider­ able appreciation of the artistry of our early steel engravers is acquired an•! finally, several chapters later, an enigma or two is uncovered for the delecta-· tion of others to follow. INTRODUCTION Collectors of U. S. private die proprietary stamps are aware that in gen­ eral, companies which employed two or more denominations of stamps haci. emissions which looked alike except for tablets showing the denominations. In instances where there was a change in corporate name the emissions of the successor differed principally in the name inscribed on the stamp. A com­ plete listing of the latter parent-offspring relationships was provided by Louis Alfano in The American Revenuer, under the title: "Die Alterations of Private Die Proprietary Stamps"! Another look-alike aspect which collectors may have noticed is that the private die stamps commonly show an interesting degree of symmetry top to bottom and left to right, and that a number have familiar design features possibly borrowed from the then current postal issues.

  • And the Transformation of the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens Film
    “Re-discovery” and the Transformation of the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens Film Presented by: Rona Razon Session 16 Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One: Reformatting Audiovisual Collections MARAC Spring 2014 April 26, 2014 Rochester, NY Presented by: Rona Razon Session 16: Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One: Reformatting Audiovisual Collections MARAC Spring 2014 Rochester, NY SLIDE 1: My name is Rona Razon, and I’m the Archivist in the Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives of Dumbarton Oaks, located in Washington, D.C. SLIDE 2: The emphasis of my talk this morning is about the “re-discovery,” importance of documentation, and preservation of the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens film, which is a unique footage of the treasured gardens in Dumbarton Oaks, likely recorded from the 1920s to the 1940s. The film exhibits Dumbarton Oaks as the private residence of Robert and Mildred Bliss in the 1920s and 1930s, and then it transitions to the 1940s when the Blisses gave the property to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, held by the Trustees for Harvard University. SLIDE 3: I will also highlight the transformation of the film, from a home movie to an institutional archival treasure. SLIDE 4: Both Robert and Mildred came from a well-to-do family. Mildred’s father Demas Barnes was the US Congressman from the Brooklyn District in the 1860s and had invested in patent medicines, including Fletcher’s Laxatives.1 SLIDE 5: Robert, on the other hand, came from a family of politics. He served in the US Foreign Service starting in the 1910s and became the US Ambassador to Argentina in 1927.2 SLIDE 6: 12 years after their marriage, the Blisses purchased Dumbarton Oaks in October 1920 and “[transformed] the Victorian house into a Gregorian revival mansion and [created] garden rooms and vistas.”3 Before taking permanent residency in Dumbarton Oaks in 1933, when Robert retired from the Foreign Service,4 they were in-and-out between the United States, Europe, and South America.

ABSTRACT Wired for Business: The Roebling Story by Kelley Marie Hatch-Draper John Augustus Roebling, a classically educated civil engineer and young Hegelian, immigrated to America in 1831 in search of freedom from a repressive political system that afforded him no opportunity for advancement. Arriving in the midst of the American market revolution, his dream of establishing an agrarian farming colony changed in response to societal transformations resulting from mechanization and the rise of industry.

  • Painting and Sculpture from the Collection of the Memorial Art Gallery 5: Milton W
    PAINTING AND SCULPTURE FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE MEMORIAL ART GALLERY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER FPO 3 6 Seeing America: Painting and Sculpture from the Collection of the Memorial Art Gallery 5: Milton W. Hopkins Pierrepont Edward Lacey and His Dog, Gun (1835–36) Jacquelyn Oak olk artist and social activist Milton W. Hopkins worked in the Rochester area painting portraits in a plain, linear style from 1824 until about 1836. The portrait of Pierrepont Edward Lacey is one of his most successful and has become an American folk art icon. Owned by the family for over 140 years, F the portrait was given to the Memorial Art Gallery by collateral descendents of the sitter in 1978. Born in 1832 in Chili, New York, Pierrepont Edward Lacey was the son of Allen T. and Ann Gennett Pixley Lacey. The family moved to nearby Scottsville, south of Rochester, in 1835 and it was there that Hopkins painted this portrait and those of Pierrepont’s mother and younger sister, Eliza. Allen T. Lacey, a prosperous farmer and businessman, was active in the anti-Masonic movement and Whig politics, as was Hopkins, and it is likely that they became acquainted through these associations.1 After the death of Ann Gennett, Allen Lacey remarried and, in 1847, the family moved west to Marshall, Michigan. There they joined other mem- bers of the Lacey family who had established farms in the Calhoun County area. Pierrepont apparently finished school in Marshall and, like his father and cousins, engaged in farming. In 1858, he married Agnes Antoinette McClure and the couple had one son, Henry Alden, in 1860.

  • Pitcher's and Fletcher's Castoria an Uncommon Study of Common Bottles
    Pitcher’s and Fletcher’s Castoria An Uncommon Study of Common Bottles by Bill Lockhart, Beau Schreiver, Carol Serr, and Bill Lindsey with contributions by Joe Widman When Samuel Pitcher invented Castoria about 1867, he set in motion a series of events that would lead to several variations in bottle embossing, a series of lawsuits, and an incredibly popular remedy. The remedy was so widely accepted that embossed bottles for the product are almost ubiquitous in many historical/archaeological contexts. Long-time bottle diggers report finding so many of both Pitcher’s and Fletcher’s Castoria bottles that they threw them back in the holes or just left them piled on the ground. Because these bottles are so common, little research has been conducted into either the history or the use chronology of the containers. In reality, both are rich, fertile areas for research. This study reveals how easy it is to be misled by appearances. History Dr. Samuel Pitcher, Boston (1868-1872) Born at Hyannis, Massachusetts, on October 23, 1824, Samuel Pitcher, Jr., attended the Philadelphia College of Medicine (1847-1848) and Harvard Medical School (1850). He began his general practice at Cape Cod (Rogers 1982:323). As discussed below, he is best known for his patented medicine – which became known as Castoria. Rogers (1982:323) quoted James W. Gould as claiming that Pitcher “ made [his new medicine] in the barn behind his house on ‘Poverty Row,’ as West Main Street was then called.” Although we have not discovered the actual date of the invention, Samuel Pitcher received Patent No.

  • The Movement to the Far West During the Decade of the Sixties
    THE MOVEMENT TO THE FAR WEST DURING THE DECADE OF THE SIXTIES There is scarcely a school child who does not know some­ thing of the early migrations over the Oregon Trail and of the rush to California in the gold days. These romantic western thrusts of the American people have become classic in our his­ torical literature and historians can find little to write that is not repetition of oft-told tales. It does not appear, however, that much serious attention has been given to the later movements which carried much larger numbers of people into the far west and laid the foundations for permanent prosperity. The present paper deals in a rather impressionistic fashion with the movement to the far west during the decade of the sixties. This decade has a special interest because it witnessed a westward movement which was surprisingly continuous in spite of a civil war, and because the completion of the first transcon­ tinental railroad at the close of the decade wrought a great change in the conditions of life in the far west. The paper presents a general view of the volume, motives, and characteristics of the migrations of this period, together with some account of the services of communication and transportation. The term "far west" has been used roughtly to include the Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. It is obvious that a paper of this char­ acter can constitute only a general survey. In fact, a complete and detailed treatment of any segment of the western movement cannot be written until for each of the states or sections there has been prepared an adequate history of settlement and immi­ gration.
