Description
Louis Kinney Harlow (1850-1913) Army Memories, New York: Koch, Sons, & Co, 1887. Deluxe Edition No. 72. (18 3/8 x 16 inches). Mounted on guards throughout. 12 mounted tinted (2) or chromo-lithographed (10) plates, the first plate with an integral title on a plain card mount, the 11 others with card mounts decorated with tinted lithographic vignettes, all 12 of the mounts with paper labels with captions laid onto the verso, each label printed in blue with the plate number, title, and sub-title or related text. All twelve plates signed by Harlow in pencil on the mount. Note: Harlow, who was born in Maine, lived in Boston and was both an etcher and painter. His subjects (unlike the present series) were usually landscapes, and he provided the color lithographer Louis Prang with a stream of watercolor views of New England that were used in his illustrated works. The present series demonstrates Koch's mastery of the technical aspects of printing. The subjects include views of army life as well as portraits of specific individuals: Grant at Vicksburg with Generals Sherman, Logan and McPherson; and a second portrait of General Sherman on horseback at the outset of his armies' march to the sea. This copy the deluxe issue No. 72, one of limited number, with each plate signed by Harlow. Provenance: Mortimore Howell Cobb, Palm Beach, Florida (1904-1986), the oldest living survivor of the Titanic, Sold for the Trust of June C. Underhill-Cobb, Atlantis, Florida.
