Oblong quarto, navy blue cloth (hardcover), xvi + 217 pp. Near-Fine, with light foxing (age darkened spotting), in a Good dust jacket with darkened spine and edges, light edgewear. From dust jacket: Throughout the Civil War, the armies of both the North and the South were portrayed by hundreds of combat artists who accompanied the troops. Charles Ellery Stedman, by contrast, was one of very few artists aboard ship. His drawings, prepared initially for the Massachusetts Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, have remained relatively unknown for almost a century. Their appearance at this time provides a new and personal view of life in the Navy of the Civil War. Stedman served aboard a Federal blockade ship off the Carolina coast, in a monitor-class ironclad, and with a supply ship in the Gulf of Mexico. An astute and sensitive observer, Doctor Stedman recorded his experiences with both the brush of an artist and the pen of an author. His humourous caricatures are surpassed only by his keen attention to detail and the accuracy of his naval drawings. THe letters written by Stedman give a vivid picture of an almost unknown side of the Civil War, a written description which compliments his excellent sketches. A graphic commentary on contemporary events, prepared by naval historian Jim Dan Hill, supplements Stedman's drawings and letters. This book represents a significant contribution to the documentation of this critical period of American history. Civil War, American History, United States History, U. S.

Facsimile edition of the rare (less than a dozen copies known to exist) 1857 edition with an introduction by Alexander Crosby Brown. Oblong quarto; [32]pp. Features 24 sepia caricatures by the author depicting sailing scenes and the tall ships of the period. A Near Fine copy in illustrated light blue paper-covered boards, navy blue spine titled in gold (light spotting inside front cover & ffep). The limited reprint of one of the first books on yachting in America. Charles Ellery Stedman was from a Massachusetts family dating back to the Colonial period. He graduated from Harvard in 1855 and became a doctor in Boston. A navy surgeon during the Civil War, Charles Stedman remains well known amongst collectors of Civil War memorabilia for his pencil sketches during the War that provide an intimate, first-hand glimpse of events in the Union Navy during that period. Stedman's original drawings for "Mr. Hardy Lee, his Yacht." depicts a prominent Bostonian who builds a yacht and then takes groups of ladies yachting. His illustrations, converted to sepia lithographs, include the interior of a shipbuilding shop, the schooner sailing, and a view of the Boston Harbor with the becalmed yacht. It has been alleged but not proven that Winslow Homer did the lithography for this publication. First Edition Thus Limited to 150 Copies.

First edition. This remarkably uncommon and finely illustrated work offers a humorous look at yachting in antebellum America; WorldCat locates eight copies only, all in American libraries, five of these in Massachusetts; auction records show just since three copies since 1925. Intriguingly, the accomplished lithography has been attributed to Winslow Homer. Clearly produced in small numbers for a circle of the author's friends, family, and sailing enthusiasts, this is an outstanding survival of early yachting in New England. The story features Mr. Hardy Lee, a Bostonian dandy, who comes into a fortune and immediately spends it all on the yacht Windseye. The plates show amusing caricatures of social encounters and detailed sailing scenes along the New England coast in the day of sail. Especially notable are the views of a ship-master's shop, Windseye under sail, and another of her becalmed in Boston Harbor, in addition to a superb view of her sailing wing-and-wing. "Hardy Lee" is a pun on the sailing expression "hard a-lee", said by a skipper to indicate that the boat is beginning to tack. The navy surgeon and artist Charles Ellery Stedman (18311909) "was one of those fortunate men who had an innate ability to draw realistic impressions of the people and scenes around him, and we are fortunate that he had a life-long impulse to do so" (Pennsylvania Magazine, p. 131). Stedman's original sketches for Mr. Hardy Lee are now preserved at the Boston Athenaeum. He was known for his drawings made during the Civil War and published as The Civil War Sketchbook of Charles Ellery Stedman, Surgeon, United States Navy in 1978. The lithography has long been attributed to Winslow Homer, the cousin of Stedman. A product of the partnership was this book, which was intended as "a series of satirical cartoons about yachting, based on the national enthusiasm caused by the America's victory, and signed by 'Chinks' in accordance with Stedman's life-long propensity to conceal his tracks" (ibid.). He apprenticed with J. H. Bufford, a Boston commercial lithographer from 1855 to 1856, subsequently opening his own studio in Boston. His irksome apprenticeship concluded in 1827 and his budding freelance career overlaps with the publication date of Mr. Hardy Lee. Homer's role was underlined in Tom Hale's re-publication of the book in 2001 and 2004. This new edition, by the great-grandnephew of Stedman, contains a chapter written by the historian Eric Rudd, who argues that Homer is the artist transferring Stedman's 24 whimsical sketches to the lithographic stones. Rudd made the same assertion in an article for Antiques Magazine, in November 1974. He also suggests that the book serves as a precursor to the graphic novel.
