Sulphur Springs, Virginia... New York's Five Points...



Item # 715981

December 23, 1865

HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, December 23, 1865  The front page has a nice print of: "Hon. John T. Hoffman, Mayor-Elect of New York City" with an article on him. Also an article: "Thanksgiving at Five Points".
Prints within include a doublepage centerfold: "The Pilgrimage to Mecca" which has 11 prints; "Thanksgiving Dinner at the Five Points Ladies' Home Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church" "The Port of Valparaiso, Chili, South America" "The Town of Morant, Morant Bay, Jamaica" "Headquarters of the Fenian Brotherhood, Union Square, New York" "The Indian Hunter by J.Q. A. Ward of the National Academy" "Headquarters of Lieutenant-General Grant on 17th Street, Washington, D.C." "The Amelia Sulphur Springs, Amelia County, Virginia" and "The Freedmen's Bureau at Richmond, Virginia".
The back page cartoon is: "A Morning Concert".
Sixteen pages, this issue is just a bit off "1st rate" condition due to light foxing/toning, so priced accordingly. Still rather nice.
