Lot 315
Patriotic Textiles, c. 1907 and 1908. Two textiles, both printed by Schwab & Wolf of New York. (1) A colorful 22¾ x 23 in. printing that shows two bald eagles carrying a flag aloft. The poem at lower left reads: "Look! Americans, Look! Look up to the sky! / Don't you see it waving there, far, far up on high? / See! See! The Flag of Freedom! The Flag / of the True! / Look! Patriots! 'Tis the glorious red, white, and blue." Light rubbing and wear along the vertical centerfold and the outer edges. From the Mastai Collection, with his inkstamp and inventory number at lower right. (2) A colorful 23 x 23 in., printing on coarse linen of four American battleships, guns at ready. Waterstained on the left side, but the staining blends in perfectly with the clouds and does not affect the overall appearance. The only noticeable flaw is a small hole in the upper right corner.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
