J.M. Vickroy & Co. published books and certificates, often catering to fraternal organizations, veterans of war, and genealogical interests. James M. Vickroy, born in Pennsylvania, had various occupations before he entered the publishing business. Sometime before 1880, he was working for the M.C. Lilly Co. of Columbus, Ohio, which produced swards and certificates for fraternal organizations. Such fraternal groups were a major social and political force in the US in the nineteenth century, as well as a lucrative source of income for a publishing house. In 1885, he and his wife Elizabeth Elnora Boore moved to Terre Haute, Indiana where they began to produce large certificates catering to these fraternal groups. The first lithograph was for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF), and by 1904, he was the exclusive publisher of these charts for no less than 28 fraternal organizations. His company also extended out to publish pictorial war records for veterans, prints for local groups, fraternal textbooks, and genealogical certificates including “Family Record” and “Afro-American History Record.” James died in 1913 and the company continued to operate under his daughter Pearl for another two decades.

- David Roberts' 19th Century Hand Colored Lithograph, "Fortress of Ibrim, Nubia"By David RobertsLocated in Alamo, CA"Approach to the Fortress of Ibrim, Nubia" is a 19th century folio sized hand-colored lithograph from the Egypt and Nubia volume of David Roberts’ large folio edition, published in London by F. G. Moon in 1847. The lithographs were prepared by Louis Haghe (1806-1885) from drawings and paintings by Roberts. The resultant large folio editions of 'The Holy Land' and 'Egypt & Nubia' are considered the greatest lithographically illustrated works issued in the 19th century. The print is presented in a gold-colored wood frame with a decorative inner trim, with a cream-colored double mat. It is in excellent condition. The lithograph depicts the Fortress of Ibrim in Nubia in the background, which had been a Roman and an Egyptian fortification for centuries due to its strategic elevation, allowing a view of large portions of the surrounding desert. Men are securing the boat in the foreground for the night, taking down its sails. A herd of cattle drinks and cools themselves in the water on the left. There are four additional listings of David Roberts engravings of Egypt...Category
