A propos de cet article

- Octavo, 9-3/4 inches high by 6-1/4 inches wide. Softcover, disbound & removed in the distant past from a larger collection of bound periodicals, with remnants of the spine. iv, 48 & [2] pages, illustrated with 2 full-page plates and 2 full-page illustrations, including a bright polychrome lithographic frontispiece of a peacock and other birds by Pinkerton, Wagner & McGuigan of Philadelphia.

Rebuilt in 1762, a third story was added by Charles Bulfinch in 1805 and a weathervane subsequently adorned its steeple. Considered one of the most noted steeple adornment in Boston, this weathervane with its grasshopper sculpture, was inspired by the character of Shem Drowne, the protagonist of Hawthorne's "Browne's Wooden Image".Early experimenters in the field of lithography, James McGuigan with Edward J. Pinkerton and Thomas Wagner formed the firm of Pinkerton, Wagner & McGuigan to produce book and periodical illustrations. From their 100 Chestnut Street location, they produced plates for "Godey's Magazine" and the "Guide to Laurel Hill Cemetery, Near Philadelphia" among others. Their experiments in the art of lithography led to their being awarded the silver medal for "polychromic lithography" at the 1844 Franklin Institute Exhibition of American Manufacturers.…
