1793ref. 3843"One of the more important images of postcolonial Boston" The building now known as "the Old State House" at the head of State Street in downtown Boston stands on the site of the first Town House that was built in the 1650s and burned in 1711. Its successor building the State House housed both town and provincial officers and activities until 1742 at which time town personnel moved to a location in the newly constructed Faneuil Hall. Of this view Deák notes: "The view from Washington Street shows the rear of the structure flanked by eminent merchant houses. Fashionable residents tradesmen mounted pedestrians and a variety of horse-drawn vehicles animate the streets. We can look past the State House down State Street far off into the distance of the harbor. There numerous masts of ships can be detected towering above the town's buildings which are constructed close together and are of substantial proportions.What we have in this engraving is one of the more important images of postcolonial Boston showing it as a thriving independent seaport" p. 128.

1788ref. 3741Harvard College -- "the earliest engraving of the College which one may reasonably hope to obtain" This engraving entitled "View of the ancient Buildings belonging to Harvard College Cambridge New-England" appeared in the December 1788 issue of The Columbian Magazine. Bail notes that the view is based on the Burgis-Price print of 1743 which in turn was a slight modification of the Burgis view of 1726. The view taken from a point in front of the present Johnston Gate shows three College buildings in 1726 from left to right: the second Harvard College the first Stoughton Hall and the still-standing Massachusetts Hall. Although unsigned the engraving is undoubtedly the work of James Trenchard a co-owner of The Columbian Magazine and the engraver of nearly all the plates which appeared in it. Of the Columbian Magazine view Bail states: "In spite of the fact that the print is solely an adaptation it is important because of its early appearance and relative scarcity. This is the earliest engraving of the College which one may reasonably hope to obtain." The engraving is accompanied by a disbound example of the December 1788 Columbian Magazine in which it appeared. It includes a 5-page "An Account of the ancient Colleges of Cambridge in New-England." Most of this is a republication of material from "a very scarce and valuable pamphlet" printed in London in 1642. In addition to a description of the College "The edifice is very fair and comely within and without." the rules and curriculum of the College are provided. A very desirable engraving of Harvard with an example of the magazine in which it originally appeared. References: For the engraving: Bail Views of Harvard: 13; Plate XVII illustrated. Fielding American Engravers upon Copper and Steel: 1819. Condition: Image is age-toned with some generally light foxing. Darkening to margins outside of platemark where previously matted; remnant of strip of masking tape at upper margin on verso.
