Descripción del artículo del vendedor

A Descriptive Catalogue of the Marine Collection to be found at India House, New York, 1935. This book was designed and published in an edition of one thousand copies by Melville E. Stone, at the Sign of the Gosden Head, New York, in the month of November 1935, for the Board of Governors of India House and was printed under the direction of John S. Fass at the Harbor Press. This book is number in red ink 858. At the Sign of the Gosden Head was a print publishing company that produced popular sporting prints including equestrian, hunting, and marine subjects. The Harbor Press was a distinguished high-end printer of private press books. James A. Farrell was the president of United States Steel Corporation and under his leadership it became America's first billion-dollar company. Farrell was also a champion and early pioneer of export markets, who massively expanded US steel exports to the world with the help of the shipping subsidiary he founded, the Isthmian Steamship Company. From the Birth of India House - In 1914, he invited thirty-eight men who represented leading manufacturers, banks, and shipping firms to dinner at the Metropolitan Club. After dinner, Mr. Farrell announced the formation of a new club downtown to be called India House. The chosen site was the old Cotton Exchange building in Hanover Square. The purpose of the Club was to bring together all the elements in foreign trade so that they would know each other better and would work together more intimately than in the past. The Club was also to furnish offices and headquarters for the National Foreign Trade Council. The Board was then and there constituted, and it is believed that nearly every one of those men has remained a governor of India House to this day 1935 excepting those who have passed away. A Mr. Straight presented to the club his collection of marine prints and also a collection of ship models which he purchased for that particular purpose. From time-to-time members of the Club have made handsome contributions to our collection of unique objects of art all connected with the sea-going interests of the institution. This folio format book, 137 pages is in fine condition. There is very minor rubbing at the bottom of the spine, not enough to downgrade the wonderful state of this very scarce, very high-end volume. There is a pencil gift inscription in the front of the book, dated 1967. Top-edge-gilt and deckled pages. There are 34 plates, each with a tissue guard, and one is a fold-out illustration. This large and heavy book may require additional postage.…
