The historic Fulton Fish Market dates back to 1835.

Two scenes of the catastrophic fire in New York by Nicolino Calyo, an Italian artist who had emigrated from Italy in 1834 and was an eyewitness to these events. The following day 'The Herald' wrote, with typical hyberbole: 'Talk not to us of the burning of Moscow - the property there lost, was nothing in comparison to that yesterday in New York. The great fire in London is equally unimportant [...] We state here, in the mass, that nearly twenty blocks of valuable buildings are destroyed - five hundred and twenty-nine rich stores [...] all involving a ruin of two thousand merchants, half a dozen of Insurance Companies-and turning out of employment probably five or eight thousand persons, in the capacity of clerks, porters, carmen, &c. &c. The value of the property is variously estimated at from fifteen to fifty millions of dollars'. When advertising these prints the publisher, Lewis P. Clover, the publisher, wrote: 'These beautiful ruins are fast disappearing, and in a few months no vestige of them will be left: in a few years, they will linger as a dream in the memory of the present generation, and the recollection of the most disastrous fire that ever befell this city will, like all earthly things, pass into oblivion'. These ruins include (Bank of America): the Fulton Insurance Company, the New York American building & The Merchants' Exchange; (Exchange Place) Old Garden Street Church.

Hell Gate.
Painted by J.Shaw. Engraved by J.Hill.
Published by M.Carey & Son Philadelphia. [Originally 1819-21, this edition Thomas T. Ash, 1835.]
Aquatint. 300 x 385mm. Loss of paper inside platemark on right.
View of Hell Gate, a narrow tidal strait in the East River in New York City, near Astoria. Originally an Anglicisation of the Dutch word 'Hellegat' the treachery of the waters there made 'Hell Gate" appropriate: hundreds of ships had sunk there by the C19th, prompting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to use 50,000 pounds of explosives to clear the channel of dangerous rocks in 1876. From Joshua Hill's very scarce 'Picturesque Views of American Scenery'. Originally intended to be a series 36 prints, only 18 were completed because the project was not a financial success, which accounts for the scarcity of examples. This second edition is just as uncommon.

Aquatint. 300 x 385mm. Loss of paper inside platemark on right.
View of Hell Gate, a narrow tidal strait in the East River in New York City, near Astoria. Originally an Anglicisation of the Dutch word 'Hellegat' the treachery of the waters there made 'Hell Gate" appropriate: hundreds of ships had sunk there by the C19th, prompting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to use 50,000 pounds of explosives to clear the channel of dangerous rocks in 1876. From Joshua Hill's very scarce 'Picturesque Views of American Scenery'. Originally intended to be a series 36 prints, only 18 were completed because the project was not a financial success, which accounts for the scarcity of examples. This second edition is just as uncommon.

The Audubon Estate on the Banks of the Hudson. Foot of 156th Street at Carmansville.
Lith. of Major and Knapp, 444 Broadway, N.Y.
For D. T. Valentine's Manual, 1865.
Chromolithograph. Printed area 155 x 210mm (6¼ x 8¼"). Binding folds flattened as normal.
A view of the main house of Minniesland, the estate that John James Audubon built in 1842 in Manhattan, paid for by subscription sales of Audubon's octavo edition of The Birds of America. The name derives from a Scottish endearment for mother that Audubon's sons, Victor Gifford and John Woodhouse, learned during their stay in Scotland in the 1830s. In the background is the Hudson River and the Hudson River Railroad. Audubon's died there in 1851, as did his sons in their homes on the estate, Victor in 1860 and John Woodhouse in 1862. Audubon's widow Lucy had to sell Minniesland to pay off debts in 1863 and the building was torn down in 1931, to be replaced by 765 Riverside Drive. From Valentine' a 'Manual of the Council of the City of New York', showing two Baseball players.

View of the Old City Hall, Wall St. In the year 1789.
Drawn by Diedrich Knickerbocker Jr. Eng.d on Steel by Hatch & Smillie
Drawn & Engraved for the New York Mirror. Printed by J. & G. Neale
Steel engraving, sheet 260 x 330mm (10¼ x 13") very large margins.
View along Wall Street, New York, showing City Hall (Federal Hall) and Trinity Church in the late 18th century. Federal Hall, built in 1700, was the site of George Washington's inauguration. It was also were the United States Bill of Rights was introduced in the First Congress. The building was demolished in 1812 and the site is now occupied by the Federal Hall National Memorial (previously the United States Custom House), built in 1842 to designs by John Frazee. This view is similar to the perspective of Archibald Robertson's (1765-1835) drawing 'View Up Wall Street With City Hall and Trinity Church, New York City' (1796). Diedrich Knickerbocker was a pseudonym for the author (but not artist) Washington Irving, who in other publications gave credit to Robert Hinshelwood. The engravers were George W. Hatch (1805-67), a bank note engraver, and James Smillie (1807-85).

[Engraved by Thomas Jefferys after Braddock Mead.]
Publish'd according to Act of Parliament and Printed for Robert Sayer in Fleet Street and Thomas Jefferys in the Strand. [n.d., 1768.]
One sheet only (of six). Engraved map with border, scarce but damaged. Sheet 440 x 545mm (17¼ x 21½"). Trimmed into plate, losing title above top border, damage in plate. Laid onto old canvas, in turn glued to board. Tears.
The bottom left sheet of Braddock Mead's important six-sheet map, 'A Chart of North and South America including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans with the nearest coasts of Europe, Africa and Asia.' It shows the pre-Cook outline of New Zealand, Espiritu Santo (then posited to be the east coast of Australia), the Solomon Islands and Marquesas, with the routes of the major explorers marked. Despite being designed to be joined, each sheet had a printed border and an individual title, missing in this example, allowing the sheets to be sold separately. The map was originally published by Jefferys alone in 1753 but, after backruptcy in 1766 forced him to take on partners, this second edition was published with Sayer, apparently unrevised. A third state, published by Sayer and Bennett in 1775, has Cook's mapping of New Zealand.

[Paris: H.J.Jansen, 1800.]
Engraving. 305 x 445mm (12 x 17½").
Romanticized portraits of two Maoris. Both have hair decorated with feathers, one wearing a necklace, the other long earrings; neither have tattoos. In 1788 Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse set sail from Botany Bay and was never seen again. Despite the upheaval of the French Revolution the National Assembly was moved to send an expedition in search of their lost hero, 1791-3, under Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux. Despite finding no trace of La Perouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists, especially in Australia. This account, compiled by the expedition's botanist, Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière, was published as 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', with natural history plates by Redouté and Audebert. The work even has its own abbreviation in botantical literature, 'Voy.Rech.Perouse'.

Broadsheet advertisement, promotional four-page leaflet (forth page blank), letterpress with coat of arms. Page 245 x 205mm, 9¾ x 8". Tatty extremities; folds.
A scarce and interesting piece of industrial ephemera, consisting largely of a series of 'Testimonials' from satisfied customers. Engineer Robert Stirling Newall (1812 - 1889) invented wire-ropes in 1840. His company developed the machinery and techniques for laying underwater telegraph cables beneath the oceans. A keen astronomer, Newall was also responsible for a series of drawings of the Sun made between 1848 and 1852.
Provenance: from a scrap album compiled c.1840 - 1880 by Alfred Towgood of Riverside, a paper mill owner at St. Neots, Huntingdon. He was also a Lieutenant in the Duke of Manchester's Light Horse.
