Cohen, Ben THE DELAWARE RIVER AND BAY 1600-1999: A SELECTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2008 8.5 x 11 inches Hardcover 276 pages
First edition. This work is a new bibliography on the Delaware River and Bay by Ben Cohen, the author of similar bibliographies on the Thames and the Clyde. The author first became interested in the Delaware River when he read D.B. Tyler's The Bay and River Delaware, which refers to the Delaware as the "American Clyde." Tyler writes poetically of the Delaware: "Its upper reaches have the beauty and vigor of youth. When, at Trenton, it turns adventurously westward, growing bigger and straighter, it has the solidity and single-mindedness of maturity. At the end, when it swings southward to lose itself in the greater ocean, it takes on the grandeur and dignity of age conscious of its past." This comparison to the Clyde in Scotland, where Cohen was born, ignited the bibliographer's interest in the Delaware. The Delaware River and Bay bibliography includes chapters on photographs, bridges, maps, fish, ports and commerce of the Delaware, containing hundreds of annotated entries, and concludes with four useful appendices, including one on Delaware River shipwrecks. As with his other books, original title spellings have been retained for historical purposes. Author Ben Cohen, F.R.C.S., is a graduate of Glasgow University and bibliographer of The Thames, 1580-1980: A General Bibliography, first published in 1985, and The River and Firth of Clyde, 1549-1993: A Selective Bibliography, first published in 1995.

(DePol, John) DePol, John WEST SIDE - MANHATTAN
New York United States Banknote Corporation 1975 13" x 9" single sheet in folder
This is a Keepsake from the United States Banknote Corporation . The engraving was printed letterpress in two colors directly from the original blacks ( engraved on Venezuelan boxwood circa 1960) on S.D. Warren's Lustro Offset Enamel Dull 80# cover. This engraving was executed from an on-the-scene sketch . It was transferred by burnishing to the surface of the black which an previously been inked in black and then coated with a fine film of tallow from a candle via the thumb and finger method. This yields a dull black surface receptive to the pencil drawing which is then followed as a guide when engraving.
