LARGE AUTOGRAPHED BRADY CABINET IMAGE OF GEN. U.S. GRANT. This autographed image of Grant depicts him in full uniform outside of his tent leaning on a tree. This famous image was taken by Brady at Cold Harbor, VA in June, 1864. Just a short while after Abraham Lincoln had promoted him to Lt. Gen. of all US armies (March 12, 1864). Grant had continually exhibited his ability to fight, but also to win. At the time Lincoln was desperate for a leader who would not only coalesce his military, but could likely expedite the defeat of the Confederacy. Despite numerous criticisms regarding Grant, Lincoln stuck to his decision and Grant not only defeated the Confederacy but after the war was held in such high esteem by the nation, that he was eventually elected President (a position he did not personally pursue). Card marked “Brady” at lower left below the image and to the right below the image “Washington”.

Every week thereafter, for 12 years, he accumulated the papers totaling an astonishing 3,280 pages in four volumes. We are selling volume IV of a four volume set, the first three being housed at the Massachusetts Historical Society. This volume having a 70+ page hand written index cross referencing the articles and events. It is an amazing and unique look at the Revolutionary Era in New England. The volume contains the July 18, 1776 issue of the printing of the Declaration of Independence. One of the most historical collections of Revolutionary period Boston newspapers to come to the market. 1265 numbered pages in this 4-1/2″ thick bound volume. The newspapers represented are: Boston Gazette & Country Journal; The Boston Evening Post; The Massachusetts Gazette and Boston Post-Boy and The Advertiser; The Massachusetts Gazette and The Boston Weekly News-Letter; The Essex Gazette; The New-England Chronicle or The Essex Gazette; The New England Chronicle; The Continental Journal & Weekly Advertiser. Mr. Dorr, on the first page, presents, in his hand, introduction as follows: “This vol. has a very deformed body, but a beautiful soul. N.B. On reviewing this volume, I find some words in the margins, & index misspelt, which I hope whoever peruses will excuse especially as some of them were wrote at my shop amidst my business, when I had no leisure to be exact.” and “…I have thought it worth while to collect them, “tho” at considerable expense, and VERY GREAT TROUBLE, in hopes that in future, they may be of some service, towards forming a POLITICAL history of this country, during the shameful and abandoned administration of George the Third’s despotic ministry.”. Followed by a 70 page hand written index. Attached to the back of the index is a folded invoice/order dated 1773 for the months of October, November and December from Mr. Joshua Pico to William Bant indicating at the bottom “By an order in full for the above from the Hon. John Hancock, Esq.” additionally signed “Edward Dowse”. The first newspaper being The Boston Gazette & Country Journal, No. 874 Monday, January 6, 1772 and ending with The Continental Journal & Weekly Advertiser, No. XXXI Thursday, December 26, 1776.

This run of newspapers printed during the most critical years of the formation of our independence provides a very special and comprehensive insight into the day to day happenings. In addition, Mr. Dorr’s extensive and intimate comments are a true reflection of the “man on the street”. Boston was one of the hearts of the rebel movement and Dorr’s shop generated a daily flow of Boston residents who not only did business with Dorr but continually shared their feelings and opinions on the matters of the day which, in part, are surly reflected here in Dorr’s commentary. A most important historical American document. Dorr’s collection of annotated newspapers, to our knowledge, are the only documents of this type from this period known to exist!

This ship was built in 1871 on Selmah Creek, near Maitland, Nova Scotia, and named after that town. Maitland, NS at that time was a premier site in the boat building industry in the province, and that tradition is still celebrated today. Ships built in Maitland, NS at that time were prized all over the world, both because of the skill of the craftsmen who built them, and for the Bay of Fundy spruce that was used in their construction, selected for its combination of lightness and durability. In an unusual gesture, the Norwegian buyers in 1878 retained the name “Maitland”, rather than changing it. By 1901, the “Maitland” had been owned by several Norwegian parties, who still retained the name of origin. It was one of the last captains of the ship, Soren Gundersen, who commissioned William H. Yorke, a renowed maritime artist, to paint this portrait. A 10-page history of the painting and its relevance to Nova Scotia shipbuilding accompanies the painting. SIZE: 20″ x 30″.
