BALLOU'S PICTORIAL, Boston, June 13, 1857  

* Early Winslow Homer print
* Boston street scene

The front page features one of the earliest Winslow Homer prints to appear in a periodical, in fact just one week after the very first. It is captioned: "Corner of Winter, Washington & Summer Streets, Boston". The initials "WH" are at the lower left of the print. Credit to Homer, with a prophetic message, is in the article, beginning: "The local view upon this page, drawn expressly for us by Mr. Winslow Homer, a promising young artist of this city, is exceedingly faithful..." with more.
The tipped-in double pg. centerfold is a dramatic print: "Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775" & also within: "Kaw Indians of Kansas [Kansas], Before the U.S. Commissioner at Washington"
Sixteen pages, nice condition.
