Civil War Centennial Prints on Vellum, Ordnance blueprints repro unmounted

1961-1965From The Frederick Post Company, a promotional package for their Blue Vellum transluscent tracing paper: four sheets with lithograph prints of Civil War Ordnance drawn in patent illustration style. The illustrations are courtesy the Chicago Historical Society and the Newberry Library in Chicago. The four prints are:

8-Inch Howitzer on Wood Siege Carriage
24-Pounder Howitzer and Limber
10-Inch Howitzer on Wood Casemate Carriage
12-Pounder Mountain Howitzer and Limber

The prints are in beautiful condition, printed on this natural-white paper. For framing, you\'d want to show them against a white backing as they are slightly translucent and would pick up the color behind them.

The promotion letter printed on the inside of the presentation folder:

The enclosed historical ordnance prints, derived from the archives of the Chicago Historical Library and Newberry Library, Chicago, are reproduced by Frederick Post Company in commemoration of the Civil War Centennial, 1961-1965.

They are printed on POST Bluetex Vellum, our most popular tracing medium, primarily as a couvenir of the United States\' transition from a position as a struggling country, divided within itself, into the most powerful influence for economic and political self-determination the world has ever known. If you wish to frame these antique prints, back up the transluscent tracing vellum with a white artists\' board.

Or, if you wish, test the reproduction quality of this poppular, highly regarded tracing vellum by making any number of trial diazo prints. You will obtain fast print-back, high contrast copies, whether made immediately, on in moths and years to come. A data sheet and sample swatches of Bluetex have also been included to give you full information on the tracing and erasing qualities of this superlative vellum.

And, if your interest in both Civil War Mementos and POST Vellums has been heightened by this material, a salesman will be pleased to call on you with additional facts and samples on POST Bluetex Vellums.
