    Can we see the marking on it?
    Could it be 148th?
    that was an artillery regiment attached to the 41st in WWI.
    That is a Sunset from them for sure.

Bufford's new year sheet no. 12 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • swanq said:
    See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_Bufford
    "John Henry Bufford (1810–1870) was a lithographer in 19th-century Boston, Massachusetts.
    Bufford trained in the Pendleton shop in Boston from 1829 to 1831.
    In 1835 he moved to New York, where he worked independently for five years while accepting commissions from George Endicott and Nathaniel Currier. Bufford returned to Boston in 1839, and became 'chief artist' in the print shop owned by Benjamin W. Thayer (who had bought the Pendleton outfit)."

    By 1878, the copyright date for this sheet of cards, John Henry Bufford, Sr. had died. His sons were running the business.

Puck's greeting to the new year (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • bill doyle said:
    now i’m going to wonder what ‘bryanism’ is/was!
  • Lulu Winslow said:
    Puck or cupid or ?
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    bill doyle, Bryanism would be a reference to William Jennings Bryan, who was the Democratic candidate for president in 1896 but lost to McKinley. His big issue was bimetallism and wanted to use a standard of silver and gold, not just gold.
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    Lulu Winslow, the child is Puck, a mascot of the magazine. In our catalog record we have a description of the cartoon which says, "Print shows Puck holding a lithographic pen, greeting the New Year, a young woman labeled 1898 riding on a bicycle and spilling flowers from a cornucopia straped to her back; an old woman labeled 1897 rides off on a bicycle into a dark and dismal background, stirring up a cloud of dust labeled "Bryanism" and "Hard Times", and showing two furies.
  • bill doyle said:
    Jon (LOC P&P) thanks for the reply! that seems rather an arcane (if not outrightly quaint!) issue to have been designated as one of the two major woes of the year, particularly when contrasted with the sweeping cliche ‘hard times’

    one suspects editorial crankishness

  • Lulu Winslow said:
    In our neighborhood, people come out with skillets and spoons or firecrackers, and make noise however they can (vuvuzuelas?) at midnight on the eve of the New Year.
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks for pointing out the misspelling Manitoba Museum of Finds Art. It led me to find other misspelled titles. We'll get them all fixed.

  • Stig Jarlevik said:
    In spite of what it says on the photograph itself this is a M-2!
    You have previously published the same photo with the M-2 written on it. The fuselage stringers are a give away, which the M-1 lacked.
    No idea why Ryan put M-1 on this one. Neither have I any idea why the civil reg 3116 is false
