This original newspaper contains a full column front page ad for a fine engraving of GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FAREWELL ADDRESS, by Charles Toppan (see description below of the broadside itself). This lot does NOT include the broadside itself, but does include the complete 1820 newspaper containing a front page ad for the broadside. This newspaper contains a long detailed front page ad for the large, finely engraved 1821 broadside of Washington’s famous valedictory, embellished with Thomas Sully’s “Liberty Displaying the Arts and Sciences.” WASHINGTON, George. Washington’s Farewell Address to the People of the United States. [Philadelphia]: J. Coffin (Charles H. Parker, scrivener; Charles Toppan, engraver), circa 1821. Large copper-engraved broadside, measuring 28 by 38 inches. Handsomely framed, entire piece measures 45-1/2 by 33-1/2 inches. Resulting from a close collaboration between Washington, Madison and Hamilton (who recognized the need to make the President’s announcement of retirement “importantly and lastingly useful”), the Farewell Address, as it came to be known, served Washington as his valedictory, as well as his vehicle for imparting advice to succeeding generations. “Washington’s thoughts on unity, on the love of power, on the impact of partisan strife, on the importance of focusing on our common interests, on avoiding entanglements with other nations, on religion and morality, on the public credit, and on freedom of trade have worn well when they have been observed” (Clarence B. Carson). This ad is for the masterful calligraphic engraving of Washington’s text by Charles Toppan from the script of Charles Parker and is embellished by a vignette at the bottom, “Liberty Displaying the Arts and Sciences,” engraved by Gideon Fairman from a drawing by Thomas Sully. Charles Parker was regarded as the “best engraver of script, maps and ornament of his time” (Stauffer, 200; Fielding, 269). An empty space at the top is for Fairman’s engraving of Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of Washington, within a frame of oak leaves (See Stauffer 995). Printed on heavy calendared stock manufactured by the T. Gilpin Company of Brandywine, Pennsylvania. Sabin 101660. Excellent condition.
