| Note: | Thomas Nast: Born in Landau, Bavaria, Germany in 1840, Thomas Nast immigrated with his family to America in 1846 at the age of six and settled in New York City. Thomas Nast began work as a full time illustrator at the age of fifteen for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. Three years later, Nast contributed his first illustration to Harper's Weekly (1859). That same year, Thomas Nast was hired by the New York Illustrated News and sent to England. During that time, he worked as a war artist following the progress of the Italian war with Giuseppe Garibaldi's army and provided illustrations for the New York Illustrated News and the London Illustrated News. In 1861, Nast returned to New York and in 1862, he began his legendary association with Harper’s, just in time for the outbreak of the American Civil War! The first artist to unreservedly defend the rights of Slaves, Nast launched a series of satirical attacks in his art against the decadent South and its inhumane culture. His political propaganda was so successful in inspiring Union patriotism by humiliating and denigrating the Confederate cause that it prompted none other than President Lincoln to term Nast, “Our best recruiting sergeant.” Throughout his career, Thomas Nast continued his fight for civil rights and the suppression of exploitation, intimidation & violence against African americans, Native Americans, Chinese Americans and immigrants from other countries. He was also a major force in the campaign against political corruption and coercion. In all probability, no man’s art has had a greater social and political impact than that of Thomas Nast. His symbols are with us to this day. He invented the Republican elephant and the Democratic donkey and even our modern day celebration of Christmas and the rotund figure of Santa Claus is due to his art. Thus, through his important art, Thomas Nast influenced the political and social consciousness of 19th century America. He made his last engraving for Harper’s Weekly in 1886. Ending a glorious twenty-five year association. His life came to a close while serving as the American Consul-General in Ecuador. An Open Question Still - Uncle Sam, You Don't Give Bread With--" deals with the United States, Britain & Canada 1877 Halifax Fisheries Commission and Fishing Negotiations. It is a fine original example of Nast's political satire. |
| An Open Question Still - Uncle Sam" (The 1877 Halifax Fisheries Commission & the United States, Britain / Canada Fishing Negotiations): In this original wood engraving entitled, An Open Question Still - Uncle Sam, "You Don't Give Bread With--", Thomas Nast is criticizing the United States, Britain and Canada Fishing Negotiations. This scene takes place in a restaurant with Uncle Sam seated at a table looking despondently at the meal the waiter reveals under the platter. It appears to be a globe with the printed text; "$5.500.000 C.O.D. FISH". The settlement of "$5.500.000 C.O.D. FISH" is documented in a letter written by Robert G. W. Herbert concerning the conclusion of the proceedings of the Halifax Fisheries Commission on November 23rd, 1877 by an award in favour of Her Majesty's Government of 5,500,000 dollars rendered by M. Delfosse and Sir A. Galt, the American Commissioner being dissentient.The full text beneath the image reads; "An editorial article in the London Times says, in effect, that it is absurd to question the validity of the Fishery Commission's decision; that unfortunately we award only amounts to a temporary settlement of the question, and that an early opportunity should be taken to intimate to the American government that England would like to see it settled and is prepared to negotiate." | |
| After the American Civil war (1861-1865), the United Kingdom was forced to settle various lingering disputes with the United States. One such dispute was raised when the provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick joined the Canadian Confederation in 1867 and measures were taken to protect and secure the Canadian fisheries. In 1868 and 1870 the Dominion Parliament passed special acts barring foreign fishermen from Canadian bays and waters, and imposed penalties for any violations after which, the Canadian Government began to police its fisheries with cruisers. There was also the controversy over the 'San Juan Boundary', known as the 'Northwestern Boundary Dispute' (a settlement in the treaty of 1846 over the U. S. British northern boundary of the Oregon territory which lead to the confusion over the ownership of San Juan Island). Another major concern was the 'Alabama Claims', (the Confederate cruiser, Alabama built in England). In order to resolve the escalating conflicts, a joint commission of twelve members, six Americans and six from the British Empire was formed headed by the U. S. Secretary of State, Hamilton Fish (1808-1893), and Sir John Rose (1820-1888). After the Washington Treaty was signed and ratified in 1871, it established separate arbitrations to deal with the issues at hand. The 'Canadian Fisheries' dispute was settled by giving American fishermen certain rights in Canadian waters. It was agreed that a specified area of the fisheries of Canada and of the United States should be open to the fishermen of both countries. The terms specified that the United States would allow Canadian fish and fish-oil free of duty and pay a specified amount for the value of the rights granted to American fishermen in Canadian waters. The 1872 Geneva arbitration settled the 'Northwestern Boundary Dispute' by modifying the boundary and giving San Juan Archipelago to the United States. It also held Britain legally liable for the destruction caused by British-build Confederate ships and awarded the United States damages of $15,500,000.00 in gold. | |
| In 1877, during the presidential term of Rutherford B. Hayes, and the same year Thomas Nast created the illustration for this original wood engraving entitled, An Open Question Still - Uncle Sam, "You Don't Give Bread With--", the Halifax Fisheries Commission was formed. Its purpose was to determine the amount of compensation the United Stated owed to Great Britain after enforcing a provision in the 1871 'Treaty of Washington' which provided Americans with fishing privileges in the Atlantic waters off Canada and Newfoundland. This Fisheries Commission was formed by Sir Alexander Tilloch Galt (1817-1893), as the British representative, Ensign H. Kellogg, as the United States representative, and Monsieur Maurice Delfosse was the Belgian Minister in Washington, as umpire. The proceedings were held in Halifax, Nova Scotia and in 1877. On November 23, 1877, the commission decided upon the sum of $5,500,000 in gold to be paid to the Government of Her Britannic Majesty by the United States in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty between Great Britain and the United States of America, signed at Washington on the 8th of May, 1871. | |
| The conflict with the British government (1885-1889), over American fishing rights in Canadian waters were in part, a result of the 1871 'Treaty of Washington' that settled a number of issues. One such provision allowed U. S. fishermen to access Canadian bays and waters in exchange for duty-free seafood imports from Canada. After the expiration of the treaty in 1885, Congress rescinded the articles of the treaty that covered fishing rights. In retaliation, the Canadian government, headed by the 1st Prime Minister of Canada, (1878-1891), Sir John MacDonald (1815-1891), began seizing Yankee fishing vessels exceeding their rights, as defined by the convention. This escalated the existing tensions over the Canada vs United States fishing rights and in March of 1887 the 22nd president of the United States (1885-1889), Clover Cleveland (1837- 1908), signed the Retaliation Act proposed by the Republican Senate. This Act gave him the power to ban Canadian goods and vessels from U. S. ports unless the Canadian government stopped seizing American vessels. President Cleveland felt the Retaliation Act would impair the economy and did not enforce it, but he did use it against the British to settle the dispute during those fishing negotiations. In 1887 they agreed to form a joint commission composed of six men, three for the United States and three for Canada, to settle this dispute. President Grover Cleveland appointed the U. S. Secretary of State, Thomas Francis Bayard (1828-1898), the president of the University of Michigan, James B. Angell (1829-1916), and from the state of Main, Judge William LeBaron Putnam (1835-1918). On the Canadian side, the British, who were still responsible for foreign affairs in Canada, appointed the British colonial secretary, Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914), Canada's Finance Minister (and Canadian father of the Confederation, who later became the 6th Prime Minister of Canada), Sir Charles Tupper (1821-1915), and the British Minister to the U. S., Sir Lionel Sackville-West (1827-1908). By the end of the conference, the fishing negotiations were successful and all parties agreed upon the Washington Treaty of 1888 also known as the Bayard-Chamberlain Treaty. This Treaty (favoring Canada), set the boundaries for Canadian waters that would be open to American fishermen, as well as introducing other Canada / United States fishing regulations. The Bayard-Chambelain Treaty was signed in February of 1888 by the Secretary of State, Thomas F. Bayard and Joseph Chamberlain, only to be rejected by the U. S. Senate in August of 1888. The British however, to keep the peace, made allowances (the provisions originally included in the treaty), for American fishermen. One such bargain approved that U. S. Fishing vessels would be allowed to buy bait and dry fish in Canadian and Newfoundland waters and bays if they purchased an animal licence at 1.50 per ship ton. This brought an immediate closure to the dispute, but to this day, this matter left many unsettled demands which have lead to strained British-American and Canadian relations. The Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco contains an impression of this engraving in its collection. Accession Number: 1963.30.2080 | |
| Harper & Brothers: A leading American publishing and printing firm based in New York, 'Harper & Brothers' was originally founded by James Harper (1795-1869) and his brother, John Harper (1797-1875), when they opened their first printing firm as 'J. & J.' in 1817. Later, their two younger brothers, Joseph Wesley Harper (1801-1870), and Fletcher Harper (1806-1877), joined the firm. During the following years, their printing firm flourished. In 1833, 'J. & J.' was renamed as 'Harper & Brothers', and under that name, their firm entered into the publishing business. Harper & Brothers was among the first printing and publishing firms to adopt case binding and to use stereotype and electrotype printing plates and steam - powered printing. It has been noted that by the mid 19th century, 'Harper & Brothers' had become one of the largest printing and publishing firms in the world. | |
| Harper & Brothers Periodicals, Journals & Magazines: During the second half of the nineteenth century, periodicals, journals and magazines such as Harper's Weekly, New York, 'Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper', 'Every Saturday', 'The Aldine', Puck in the United State, and 'The Illustrated London News', 'The Illustrated London Almanack', and 'The Graphic', in England, created pictorial journalism on a grand scale. They covered, literature, arts, sciences, sports, social and political events, fashion, and fiction. Wood engraving (invented around 1780) at last made it possible for publishers to print images and words on the same page without the extravagant costs of producing etchings or engravings from metal plates. From about 1850 engraving upon wood became the dominant means of distributing information along with pictorial imagery, and continued in this role until around 1900, when the practical application of photography took control. In addition to being one of the most prestigious printing and publishing firms for books and printed matter commissioned by both national and international firms, 'Harper & Brothers' decided to enter the 'Big Race' for journalistic supremacy. They began to issue their own illustrated periodicals, starting with the launch of their first magazine, originally known as 'Harper's New Monthly Magazine', later known as 'Harper's Magazine'. It was first issued in (1850) and continued to do so into the twenty first century. 'Harper's Magazine' is now published by HarperCollins Publishers LLC. It was originally established as a literary and educational monthly magazine dealing with politics, culture, arts and finance. As their circulation increased it was followed by 'Harper's Weekly (A Journal of Civilization)' (1857-1916), an illustrated and interesting higher toned, better illustrated paper featuring political issues, domestic and foreign news, literary fiction and other stories. An Open Question Still - Uncle Sam, "You Don't Give Bread With--" (The 1877 Halifax Fisheries Commission) is an original wood engraving designed by the famous American Satirical artist Thomas Nast in 1882 for 'Harper's Weekly'. In 1867, Harper & Brothers launched their first issue of 'Harper's Bazar', a magazine that is still active today, and is now published by the Hearst Corporation. 'Harper's Bazar', started out as a weekly periodical (magazine), mostly for feminine interests and culture. It was devoted to various departments of literature, fashion and domestic arts and as noted in their 1886 issue "A Repository of Fashion, Pleasures, and instruction". 'Harper & Brothers' offered a subscription to all three publications for only 10.00 dollars a year or any two for 7.00 dollars, and special offers for group subscriptions. They also sold 'Popular Editions' at a higher price and' Household Editions' at a lower price. In 1878, the Franklin Square Library was formed and was renamed 'Harper's Franklin Square Library' in 1881, remaining active until 1893. 'Harper & Brothers' was among of the first to publish a selection of books to help confront and regulate the piracy of their material by rogue printers and publishers. Those books were published under the Harper Franklin Square Library imprint at a loss and were available through subscriptions offered to businesses (Booksellers). In 1879 they began the weekly publication of 'Harper's Young People', an illustrated magazine aimed at America's boys and girls of all ages. The publication contained both instructional and entertaining topics which included a variety of well written stories, poetry, serials, games, and other areas of interest written and illustrated by noted authors and artists. In 1895, 'Harper's Young People' was renamed as 'Harper's Round Table', another well written and illustrated weekly magazine for America's youth, but this one was aimed at an older generation of kids (teenaged boys), priced at five cents a copy or two dollars a year. The last issue of 'Harper's Round Table' was published in 1899. | |
| Harper & Brothers Illustrators: The firm of Harper & Brothers, New York hired some of the finest engravers, illustrators and journalists of the period. Throughout its life, skilled artists maintained a very high level of craftsmanship in their illustrative art, thus, for well over one hundred years, these original engravings have attracted serious collectors who recognize both the historic and artistic value of these images. In fact, one of the first avid collectors of these engravings was Vincent Van Gogh, who, for several years, entertained thoughts of working as an illustrative artist for the publications. American illustrators who contributed works to 'Harper & Brothers' included such distinguished painters and watercolor artists as, Frederick Stuart Church (1842-1924), who began his career as an illustrator for Harper's designing graceful fantasy scenes, many dealing with women, children and animals. Walter Sheila (1838-1909), and Stephen G. McCutcheon, (c. 1846 - 1884) illustrated articles and fiction to such magazines as as Harper's, Scribner's, St. Nicholas and The Century. William Ludwell Sheppard, 'W. L. Sheppard' (1833-1912), is recorded to have illustrated the Southern side of the American Civil War, contributing many of those designs to Harper's and Picturesque America. Winslow Homer (1836-1910), contributed his first of many designs to Harper's Weekly of New York in 1857. Homer's role as a pictorial journalist during the American Civil War is of significant historical importance. The artist, Frederick Dielman (1847-1935), contributed such works as the Celebration of the Abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia by the Colored People in Washington, Harper's Weekly (1866), and Mirandy Encourages Phil's Talent, Harper's Bazaar (1886). Americas's political cartoonist, Thomas Nast (1840-1902), began his legendary association with Harper's in 1857, just in time for the outbreak of the American Civil War. Nast's famous illustration of Merry Old Santa Claus (1881), which appeared in Harper's Weekly is responsible for our modern day image of Santa. An Open Question Still - Uncle Sam, "You Don't Give Bread With--" (The 1877 Halifax Fisheries Commission) and He Wants change Too are striking examples of the illustrations created by Thomas Nast for Harper's Weekly, New York, (Journal of Civilization). During the last part of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the 20th century another important group of young artists began to appear, such as, Arthur Burdett Frost (1851-1928), an American artist mostly known for his sporting subjects. Frost contributed many illustrations to Harper & Brothers periodicals, such as, An Archery Meeting, Harper's Weekly (1879), Woodcock Shooting, Harper's Weekly (1893), The Sparrow's Christmas Dinner Harper's Bazar (1886), etc. William James Aylward (1875-1956), began his career as an illustrator for both Harper's and Scribner's magazines, creating such as The Christmas-Tree Ship, Harper's Weekly, (1909), The Secret Sharer, Harper's Magazine (1910), Steamboating Through Dixie written and illustrated for Harper's Monthly (1915). And, Harry Everett Townsend (1879-1941) established a strong reputation as a leading illustrator and was regularly commissioned by such popular magazines as Harper's, The Century and McClure's. By 1962, the firm of 'Harper & Brothers' merged with Row, Peterson and Company' and was renamed as 'Harper & Row'. The firm of 'Harper & Row' continued to run under that name until 1990, when it was acquired by William Collins & Sons and renamed as 'HarperCollins'. Today, the firm of HarperCollins remains one of the largest publishing companies in the world. | |
