The Panama railroad was built across the Isthmus of Panama by William Henry Aspinwall from 1850-52. The town of Aspinwall was established in 1852 and served as its western terminus when the railroad was finished. The railroad carried many miners to California during the gold rush and was the fastest shipping route between New York and San Francisco before transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869.

Content/Description

View of a train engine and car crossing a body of water in Aspinwall (later renamed Colon) Panama. The turnaround is visible in the foreground and a church with a classical façade stands on a hill with the town beyond.

Signatures and handwriting appear to be the same on both inscriptions.

Content/Description

This is the decorated copy Rossetti made of the "Introductory Sonnet" to the 1881 edition of "The House of Life." The design was executed as a present for his mother on her eightieth birthday (27 April 1880). It is supposed to have been copied into David Main's edition of "A Treasury of English Sonnets," which Rossetti gave to his mother as a present.

The lost original design is known from two printed copies made from it, one of which was published as the frontispiece to William Sharp's "Dante Gabriel Rossetti. A Record and a Study" (1882). It is possible that this is the original proof for Sharp's frontispiece. (see: The Complete Writings and Pictures of Dante Gabriel Rossetti - http://www.iath.virginia.edu/rossetti/)
