“Some interesting valentines even come up for sale on eBay. A great friend of mine, Pippa Vlasov, who generously lent me a portion of her collection for this book, is an avid and determined collector who has been known to stay up all night at her computer waiting for an auction to close. One of her eBay treasures came from a hairdresser in Portland, Oregon, who found the Valentine in her grandfather’s attic, took it to an antiques dealer, and asked him to sell it for her. The dealer placed the Valentine on eBay with a reserve price of $50. It sold for almost $7,000 and is a wonderful piece…with an elaborate hand inscription on the back of the box. The inscription reads: ‘Presented to Mrs. A. Richardson by Captn. E.H. Pray, Schr Abraham Richardson, from Barbadoes, W.I. 1875.’” The Valentine is a Double 13” with pattern of flowers on left and star on right. - Photograph and information about the Sailor's Valentine made for Amanda (Robinson) Richardson, Mrs. Abraham Richardson, by Captain E.H.

  • Rand - Henry Lathrop Rand (1862-1945)
  • 1896
Photographer Henry L. Rand and his cousin Julius Ross Wakefield traveled to Europe together in the summer and fall of 1896. Henry, as usual, documented the trip with this map and 87 photographs, found principally in Volume 10 of the Henry L. Rand Collection. The photographs are numbered in their titles in the order in which they appear in Rand's album. Henry drew the Continental Route of the trip, as evidenced by his distinctive handwriting, and then photographed the map and pasted it into Volume 10 as his number 1143. He probably copied the map from a printed one and added the longitude and latitude lines that can faintly be seen in the photograph. Henry and Julius traveled to Europe aboard the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II to Naples, Italy and then proceeded by water to Genoa. From there they went to Milan and took a side trip to Verona and Venice, returning to Milan.
