PAIR OF DISASTER PRINTS

40. (DISASTER PRINTS). Pair of 1856 lithographs both depicting the destruction of the steamboat NewJersey in the Delaware River near Smith's Island. (1) Terrible Conflagration and Destruction of theSteam-Boat "New-Jersey," on the River Delaware, Opposite Philadelphia, on the Night of Saturday,March 15th, 1856 ... by which Dreadful Calamity Sixty-One Lives were Lost. Names of all on Board.The Dead.... [Philadelphia]: A. Pharazin, [1856]. 24.5 x 34 cm. (sight). Lithograph, colored by hand.(2) Terrible Conflagration and Destruction of the Steamboat "New Jersey," on the Delaware River,above Smith's Island, on the Night of March 15th ... in which Dreadful Calamity over 50 Lives areSupposed to have been lost. [Philadelphia]: J. L. Magee ... and A. Pharazyn ..., [1856]. 26 x 35 cm.(sight). Lithograph, hand colored. The pair handsomely matted together in one period birdseye mapleframe with a gilt liner.

On the evening of March 15, 1856, the steamboat New Jersey caught fire on the Delaware Riveropposite Camden and burned, with the loss of over sixty lives. It was one of New Jersey's greatest steamboatdisasters, and the Philadelphia lithographers were quick to capitalize on the incident. Both views, similarbut different, depict the boat engulfed in flames, people diving into the ice-choked river, others clinging tochunks of ice, &c. There are very few New Jersey-related disaster prints, and it is interesting to have twodifferent views of the same subject framed together. The frame is beautiful, and the presentation is quitehandsome. Cannot be shipped, but pickup in South Jersey can be arranged.

A compilation of all the laws in force in New Jersey in 1776. Though begun several years earlier,publication was delayed by Governor William Franklin's constant quarrels with the assembly, the outbreakof hostilities, and, finally, as Allinson notes in his preface, the inability to obtain sufficient paper, "... theWant of [which] stop'd the Press several Weeks at sundry Times, until more could be manufactured." Thequality of the paper varied considerably, and all copies exhibit differing degrees of foxing and browningfrom gathering to gathering. There are several contemporary manuscript corrections, also present in allcopies and probably done in the printer's shop. For a detailed account of the evolution and printing historyof Allinson's Laws, see Felcone, New Jersey Books, 158. Evans 14911.

The History of the Colony of Nova-Caesaria, or New-Jersey: Containing,an Account of its First Settlement, Progressive Improvements, the Original and Present Constitution,and other Events, to the Year 1721.

Modern calf-backed marbled paper-coveredboards, very skillfully executed in period style. Noticeably foxed, as usual, a few blank corners tornaway without loss. With contemporary ownership signatures of Burlington County residents Saml.Black and Abner Wright. $2000

The first edition of the first general history of New Jersey. James Parker left his Woodbridge printingoffice in the care of his son and moved to Burlington to fulfill a long-standing promise to Samuel Smith toprint his history as soon as it was ready for the press. The printing press used was one belonging toBenjamin Franklin and formerly used by Franklin's nephew, Benjamin Mecom, in Antigua. The press wasshipped from New York to Burlington in April of 1765, used for the Smith book and three or four smallerBurlington jobs, then sent on to Philadelphia in February of 1766, at which time Parker returned toWoodbridge. The press run was 600 copies, as indicated by Parker's bill to Smith. Parker printed two titlepages simultaneously on a halfsheet, thus providing each title page a blank conjugate for binding that alsoprecluded the need for a free front endpaper. This old time- and cost-saving printer's trick, combined withstop-press alterations in the text of a number of sheets, has led past bibliographers to speak of two distinctissues of the book. There is absolutely no correlation between the uncorrected and corrected sheets and thetwo title pages; all were freely mixed by the binder without any discernable pattern or priority. See Felcone,New Jersey Books, 243, for a seven-page analysis of this cornerstone New Jersey book. Evans 10166; Miller,Benjamin Franklin's Philadelphia Printing, 853; Streeter Sale 923; Howes S661.

117. (SMITHVILLE). Oil painting on board depicting a farm house, barn, and outbuildings, withsurrounding fields. The land in the foreground is covered with water, much like a flooded cranberrybog. A straight, narrow strip of land, almost like a cranberry bog dike, lends support to this theory.The painting is unsigned and unidentified. However on the back of the period gilt frame is writtenin pencil: "Emma's house near Smithville New Jersey / Painted by her best freind Susan Lear 1885."Accompanying the painting is a late 19th century photograph by Fritz of Lambertville, N.J., identi-fied on the verso: "Aunt Sue Lear / Grandma Vasey's sister." The board is split twice horizontally;the frame is excellent. $750

A delightful painting, in primitive but detailed style. Unfortunately, without additional research,Emma, her farm, and the painting's subject remain a mystery. Probably the Burlington County, rather thanthe Atlantic County, Smithville.
