1760Best.-Nr. 14001London 1760. 315x445mm. 12½x17½". Grabado. London 1760. 287 x 448mm. Grabado al cobre. Coloreado a mano de época. Vista óptica de la ciudad de Lisboa Portugal desde el río. Publicado según acta del Parlamento en 1760. Se trata de la reedición de un grabado de Henry Overton II publicado originalmente en Londres por Robert Sayer en 1752. El mapa pertenece a una de las ediciones realizadas tras el terremoto de Lisboa de 1755. Suele identificarse como una edición londinense pero por sus características puede que haya sido impreso en París al estilo de Maillet de la misma época probablemente imitando las ediciones inglesas. Este mismo grabado fue copiado en muchas ediciones posteriores solo o en libros siendo una de las vistas más conocidas de Lisboa antes del Terremoto. unknown

1793Best.-Nr. 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. References: Lewis Guide to Engravings in American Magazines 1741-1810: pp. 11 49. Stokes & Haskell American Historical Prints: Early Views of American Cities etc.: B-109. Deák Picturing America: 194. Condition: Old fold lines some of which have been strengthened on the reverse; minor edge tears. Scattered spots of very light foxing. Overall a well-preserved and visually pleasing example.

1788Best.-Nr. 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. The Magazine is complete and quite bright and clean although several pages are detached from the balance of the text. ICN 3431. Printed for the Proprietors by W. Spotswood.
