Item # 698441 ILLUSTRATED NEWS, New York, May 21, 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: "Destruction of the Steamer Ocean Wave on Lake Ontario" "View On the Chenango River" "Wall Street Ferry Buildings" "Floral Ball, Philadelphia" "Merchant's Exchange, Phila." "Swede Church Cemetery, Southwark, Phila." "The Norwalk Railroad Calamity" "Paterson Railroad Accident" "Scene from Owen's Ascent of Mont Blank" and more.
