Item # 689512 ILLUSTRATED NEWS, New York, Feb. 12, 1853 Phineas T. Barnum was the co-owner of this early illustrated newspaper which preceded both "Leslie's Illustrated" and "Harper's Weekly", the latter two becoming immensely more successful. This effort by Barnum and the Beach brothers would last for only 48 issues, or less than one year.
Among the prints are: "Capt. Ericsson Explaining His Invention to the Editor4s of New York" "Ball of the New York Fire Dept. at the Astor Place Opera House" "Floating Mortar" "Astor Place Opera House" "Ladies Presenting the Great Temperance Petition at Albany" "Concord, New Hampshire" is a very nice view of the city; "Law Office First Occupied by Gen. Pierce" & more.
Sixteen pages, very light damp staining, generally good.
