• A CARNIVAL GAME MODEL OR SALESMAN'S
  A CARNIVAL GAME MODEL OR SALESMAN'S SAMPLE CIRCA 1915This miniature model represents an attraction from Kansas City's Fairmount Park called AND HER NAME WAS MAUD. The life-sized 'One Ball' game was manufactured and operated by showman H.H. Ragan in Kansas City's Fairmount Park circa 1907, as shown in an albumen photograph mounted inside the lid of the replica's carrying case.H. H. Ragan was a Kansas City entrepreneur who is also know to have operated ILLUMINATED TOURS at the Music Hall in Kansas City as early as 1886. These magic lantern slide shows projected images of far-away lands and American landmarks for 50 cents per person. No small amount in 1886. There is some evidence that Ragan also operated the Fix-it Shop pictured in another image included here. Reference was found listing his address as 59th and Troost.An ad in the Kansas City Star Sunday, July 28, 1907, page 30 reads: GIRL TO WAIT TABLE; four dollars board, room and washing; Good place; come Sunday morning. Maud Machine Fairmount Park. H. H. Ragan.With Ragan's full-sized attraction, and the miniature model, a successful strike on the face of the bewhiskered gentleman seated below would release Maud the Mule to wildly kick up her heels and startle her handler. This miniature working model is constructed from found wood crates decorated with printed paper graphics and hand painted details. The figures are carved by hand. The outside of the case is decorated in hand drawn graphics of Maud and the other players. Various period original photographs are included.Measures 16 x 20.75 x 4.5 inches.Very good working condition, noting the effects of age, storage, use and environment as expected in the form of minor age splits and losses.

• Remarkable Collection of Hand-Colored
  Remarkable Collection of Hand-Colored Civil War Magic Lantern Slides A collection of approx. 170 beautifully hand-colored Civil War magic lantern slides made from paper photographs and stereoviews originally produced by popular Civil War-era photographers including Mathew Brady Alexander Gardner Timothy O'Sullivan A.J. Russell and George Barnard. The majority of glass slides measure 3.25 x 4 in. Most lack a paper border and are not covered with a protective glass sleeve and only a select few have handwritten or paper labels including: a handwritten label identifying the photographer as George Barnard; a printed label with only H. Mc legible which almost certainly refers to the T.H. McAllister - Keller Co. Inc. a lantern slide manufacturer active in New York City during the 1890s and known for producing glass slides many hand-tinted. Also included is a small group of black and white slides most featuring images of a GAR reunion and parade. One of the black and white slides has a printed label from Theodore J. Harbach / Manufacturer of Philadelphia.The collection is comprised of images of the leading military and political personalities of the war post-battle shots capturing the dead in the field broken earthworks occupied forts and bombed buildings plus views of supply wagons Union and Confederate camp scenes hospitals and prisons. Several shots of the Navy as well as Union and Confederate Ironclads on the James River are also included. The group features images from both the Eastern and Western Theaters with the vast majority taken from military and naval operations in the East. Some highlights include:The Marshall House Alexandria VA where the Union suffered its first loss with Col. Elmer Ellsworth (Pywell)Lincoln with McClellan after the Battle of Antietam (Gardner)Gen. "Fighting" Joe Hooker in front of Hospital (Brady)Father Thomas Mooney leading Sunday Mass 69th NY Infantry Regiment (Brady)The Michigan Black HatsUnion Train derailed near Manassas VAThe Confederate engine GeneralThe locomotive Fred Leach after being hit by small arms and cannon ballsUSS ShawsheenUSS Atlanta Ironclad patrolling the James River (Brady Organization)USS Lehigh Monitor probably on the James River (Brady Organization)The "Bean Pole" Bridge over the Potomac Creek (Russell)Gen. U.S. Grant and Staff at Cold Harbor (Brady)Gen. U.S. Grant with his horse CincinnatiLibby PrisonField Where Gen. Reynolds Fell Gettysburg July 1863 (O'Sullivan)Additional views of dead Union and Confederate SoldiersRuins of Charleston SCA few days after the burning of Richmond VAVictory Parade marching to Washington D.C. (Barnard)Gen. R.E. Lee and Staff on Richmond Porch (Brady)This group was discovered in Philadelphia in 1963 and has been in the hands of the current owner since then. There has been some speculation that this could be a portion of the magic lantern slide collection that once belonged to Mathew Brady's nephew and employee Levin Handy but there is a lack of provenance to support that assertion. While certain details in the slides suggest that they could have been produced by someone who knew Brady well (i.e. the Marshall House shot in which Brady can be seen in the lower right corner wearing a yellow duster which he typically wore) the absence of Brady's War for the Union paper labels combined with the fact that the work of a variety of photographers including those outside of Brady's organization such as A.J. Russell are included in the collection suggests otherwise. Based on the paper labels that are present from New York and Philadelphia and the fact that this collection was found in Philadelphia it is more likely that the glass slides were produced by a manufacturer and highly talented colorist in one of those two cities. Regardless the collection features some of the finest examples of hand-tinted 19th-Century Civil War photography that Cowan's has had the opportunity to offer. Condition: A small portion of the slides are cracked mostly along the edges or corners.
