Here is a link to a new exhibit posted on Richard Frajola's website. http://www.rfrajola.com/MilgramCW/MilgramCW.htm
It is James Milgram's 10 frame (160 page) exhibit "Federal Patriotic Stationery During the Civil War". I just took a quick look at it and I pl;an on taking a more leisurely look this evening. Lots of nice material in it.
Vince, thanks so much for posting this link. It is an amazing exhibit!
I want to make one minor correction. The exhibit belongs to James Milgram rather than Richard.
I became acquainted with Mr. Milgram via eBay nearly two years ago when I sold him one of the items that is now presented in frame four of his exhibit. I learned from our brief email conversation that Mr. Milgram had a nice collection, but I didn't know how nice! The item I sold Mr. Milgram was a rare Tennessee "State Envelope." I had inherited it from Dad several years ago, and it was the basis for an article I wrote a few years ago. I think it's fantastic this item is getting exposure via the Milgram exhibit.
If anyone is interested, you can see front and back images of the cover in this SoR thread.
Thanks for correcting me. I will correct the original post. Richard Frajola, James Milgrham, I got confused.
I have a copy of James Milgrham's book "American Illustrated letter Stationary 1819-1899". There is a lot of fascinating material in it.
