[Rarebooks] FS: 1901/1902 French Wine Merchant Brochure & Letter to Navy Ship Captain

[Joslin Hall Books & Ephemera]

1901/1902 French Wine Merchant Price Brochure & Letter to US Navy Ship  
Captain.

An interesting pair- a 4-page (folio-folded sheet) price list of wines  
available through Alfred Le Vavasseur of Bordeaux, dated November,  
1901, and a partially-printed form letter dated January 1, 1902,  
addressed to “Monsieur le Commandant, USS. Urdaneta”, desiring the  
honor of selling him wines for his ships’ store. The list includes red  
and white wines, champagnes, ports, madeiras, cognacs, and aperitifs  
such as curaçao, flavored brandy, and absinthe. The USS Urdaneta was a  
70-foot, 42-ton, iron-hulled gunboat launched by the Spanish navy in  
1883. Captured in the Philippines by the Americans in 1898, she served  
at Subic Bay and other points in the Philippines until being  
decommissioned on December 12, 1902. She was reinstated a few years  
later as a tug and served through at least 1916, at which point she  
disappears from Naval records.

Single sheet 8.5”x11” letter, and 4-page 8.5”x11” price list, both  
printed on thin, onion-skin paper. Minor soil, light wear, folds.  
[43493]  $100
