[Charles Agvent]

[NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM]. ORIGINAL CALLIGRAPHIC MANUSCRIPT TRIBUTE: 
TESTIMONIAL TO CHARLES RODENBURG. [New York], [1945]. First Edition. 
Folio (11-1/2" x 13-1/2") vellum sheets string-tied with black paper 
covers, the front cover with a decorative drawing; 10 pages with 
beautiful manuscript calligraphy and 5 ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS, all on 
rectos only. A retirement tribute to Charles Rodenburg, one of the 
original engineers who helped to build the New York subway system, 
primarily working on the Brooklyn Fourth Avenue branch. He began his 
career in 1900 and retired in 1945. The 5 illustrations, humorous in 
nature, are by Arthur Weindorf, an illustration artist who drew 
political cartoons for the LONG ISLAND DAILY, contributed illustrations 
to architectural publications, and who was a specialist in building 
models to scale. Four pages of the manuscript consist of lined pages, 3 
of them with signatures of co-workers and others. Black covers chipped 
and detached; contents quite nice. Very Good. (#021272)        $850
