Item # 713395

February 28, 1874

HARPER'S WEEKLY February 28, 1874 Although there is a wealth of various prints within, by far the most desired is the Winslow Homer print titled: "Watch-Tower, Corner of Spring and Varick Streets, New York" which takes a full page and includes 5 images. It is in very nice, clean condition.
This issue also has a full front page political cartoon by the famed Thomas Nast: "The New York Tribune's 'Disclosure'." Inside are two half page prints of: "Fighting the Fire" and "'Busted!' - A Deserted Railroad Town in Kansas." Two half page illus. of "The State Homeopathic Asylum for the Insane, Middletown, Orange County, New York" and "Hudson River State Hospital for the Insane, Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York."; a full page illus. of "Mount Vernon, 1874"; a quarter page illus. of "The Birth Place of Washington." Two quarter page portraits of "The late David Friedrich Strauss" and "The late Jules Michelet."
The Supplement contains a half page illus. of "Spoiling the slide"; a one-third page illus. of "The Taxidermist's After Dinner Meal." The tipped-in doublepage centerfold is: "A Deer Drive in the Texas 'Cross-Timber'." Also a two-thirds page illus. of "The Book Stall."
