1779réf. 3689Scarce Contemporary Stony Point Battle Plan This rather crude woodcut depicts a battle plan of General "Mad Anthony" Wayne's daring and dramatic capture of the British fortification at Stony Point about 30 miles up the Hudson River from New York City. The battle planned in detail by Washington took place around midnight on July 16 1779. The lower portion of the battle plan includes a four item key: "A. The British Fortress B. Abattes abatis in front C. The Reserve D. The detached Party who stormed the Works." Nebenzahl's A Bibliography of Printed Battle Plans of the American Revolution 1775-1795 cites only a 1784 London-printed battle plan by Faden for the Stony Point engagement #145. The offered plan is not noted by Nebenzahl was published in America and was issued five years earlier than the Faden plan. The Bickerstaff's Boston Almanack for 1780 would almost certainly have been published in November or December of 1779 – within six months of the actual battle. A very scarce almanac in the trade. Auction records indicate the most recent copy sold at the Gutman sale in 2005 for $4800. Prior to that Swann sold an example in 1979. References: For the almanac: Evans: 16287; Drake: 3290. For the map: Cresswell: 309. Condition: Map appears on verso of title page and measures about 6 ½ x 3 ¾." Almanac is complete in 24 pp. Slight loss of road table text at upper tip of final leaf. ICN 7643. Printed and sold by Draper and Folsom, and John Mycall of Newbury.

Paper on cloth backing hand-colored covered with a thin ancient layer of protective lacquer or varnish. No folds or tears. Short wrinkles on the untaut paper surface. Framed in glass. Size: 26 x 21 x 1.0. An imposing and beautiful broadside document! Prentiss Whitney of Boston Massachusetts published this beautiful copy of the Declaration of Independence. It is approximately 26"" tall by 21"" wide. It has a four-line title printed in 4 different fonts. The text of the document is primarily in a handscript font with some words enlarged and bolded in print type of four different fonts. Bottom section contains the signature replicas. The entire document is surrounded by two intertwined vines which encircle 13 state medallions filled with symbolic vignettes and an eagle and shield Federal medallion. Vines and medallions are fully hand-colored. At the very bottom is printed: 'STEREOTYPED BY THE BOSTON BEWICK COMPANY. PUBLISHED BY PRENTISS WHITNEY 30 WASHINGTON STREET.' It is undated but probably published in 1835. Prentiss Whitney 1787-1870 was an auctioneer publisher of historic patriotic American prints and an entrepreneurial investor at 30 Washington St. Boston in the 1830's and 1840's. His ancestor Rev. Peter Whitney of Northborough Ma was one of the first to call for publishing the Declaration of Independence 'American independence vindicated. A sermon delivered September 12 1776. At a lecture appointed for publishing the Declaration of Independence passed July 4 1776. By the representatives of the United States of America in general congress assembled'. The Boston Bewick Company no. 47 Court Street Boston was an association of authors artists printers and bookbinders which was in existence from 1834-1838. It is mostly known for producing engravings and for hiring Nathaniel Hawthorne as editor of the 'American Magazine of Useful and Entertaining Knowledge'. The Act to incorporate the Boston Bewick Company states it is founded for: 'the purpose of employing improving and extending the art of engraving polytyping embossing and printing and carrying on the business thereof.' 1835 Boston Bewick ad: 'Engraving Stereotyping and Printing.: Boston Bewick Company. The Boston Bewick Company Respectfully Give Notice that They are Ready to Receive Orders for Engraving on Wood Steel and Copper; and for Copper-plate Letter Press and Xylographic Printing in All Their Branches.'

1861réf. List3000Boston Massachusetts: William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp 1861. Single sheet letterpress broadside measuring 18 x 24 ½ inches. Folded with small tears at folds and marginal damage; excellent to Near Fine. Offered here is a “phonographic report” i.e. it includes the audience’s reaction of a speech delivered by abolitionist Wendell Phillips 1811–1884 to the Twenty-Eighth Congregational Society in Boston on April 21 1861. The report was printed in an extra of William Lloyd Garrison’s Liberator newspaper. Shortly following the first Battle of Fort Sumter the speech finds Phillips throwing his full support behind the cause of war. He insists to his audience: “The anti-slavery enterprise to which I belong started with peace written on its banner. We imagined that the age of bullets was over; that the age of ideas had come; that thirty millions of people were able to stake a great question and decide it by the conflict of opinions; and without letting the ship of State founder lift four millions of men into Liberty and Justice. . Our mistake if any has been that we counted too much on the intelligence of the masses on the honesty and wisdom of statesmen as a class. . The North thinks—can appreciate argument—is in the nineteenth century—hardly any struggle left in it but that between the working class and the money kings. The South dreams—it is the thirteenth and fourteenth century—baron and serf—noble and slave. . Our struggle therefore is no struggle between different ideas but between barbarism and civilization. Such can only be settled by arms. Prolonged cheering.” We find three copies of this newspaper in OCLC. Of interest to scholars of Phillips’ work and of abolitionism especially Boston abolitionists. 1 “Wendell Phillips Dead: The Last Hours Of One Of The Apostles Of Abolition” The New York Times February 3 1884 1.
