* Long before the Monitor & Merrimac
* First ironclad ship illustration from 1814
Although the front page and inside pages have various Civil War reports, the most intriguing aspect of this issue is the rather large back page illustration--actually two prints--headed: "THE FIRST IRON-CLAD. Representation of the Armored Vessel, Patented by Thomas Gregg, of Pennsylvania, in 1814." with descriptive text as well (see).
It is not surprising this content is in this issue as interest in ironclad ships was recently resurrected with the battle between the Monitor & the Merrimac a few months prior.
Complete in 8 pages, a bit irregular at the spine, nice condition.
