Item # 692095
June 15, 1861
NEW YORK ILLUSTRATED NEWS, June 15, 1861 Formatted very much like the more popular 'Harper's Weekly' but considerably more uncommon.
The front page shows: "Shackles & Handcuffs Used by Slave Drivers in Virginia" and: "Brilliant Exploit...in the Rescue of Two of Their Comrades who were to be Hung by the Rebels at the Village of Fairfax, Va."; a full-page print of: "Major-General Butler" "New York 7th Working at the Entrenchments, Columbia Springs, Va." "Arlington House, the Property of the Rebel General Lee, now Occupied by General McDowell.." "Attack on Aquia Creek Battery..." "Road to Washington from Alexandria..."; a full page with six: "Scenes & Incidents in Camp & Station" & two back page cartoons.
The doublepage centerfold is a very expensive view of: "Pennsylvania Ave., Washington--Grand Parade of Troops..." which shows the Capitol with the new dome under construction.
Sixteen pages, scattered foxing, some minor margin tears, generally good.
