Description
New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, 1800. Hardcover. Good. Oblong 12mo album measuring 7¼" x 6¼". Contains 44 gelatin silver photographs measuring between 3” x 4” and 4¼" x 6½", most with captions, mounted to stiff boards. Disbound and lacking the spine, pages slightly warped and with a bit of toning, thus good, though the photographs are clean overall. A late 19th century view album of photographs from New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. Included are 13 photos from the Morristown, New Jersey area, including an exterior view of the Ford Mansion, which served as General George Washington’s headquarters for a period during the American Revolutionary War. There are several photos from Noroton, Connecticut, with one photo showing a Noroton train station, along with photos of homes and churches. Photographs from New York include eight scenes from Far Rockaway, views of the Hudson and East Rivers, two photos that show numerous large ships in what is identified in the caption as “the Bay” (presumably the Upper Bay), and a photo of a large docked ship, with buildings in the distance, captioned “N.Y. from Columbia Heights, Brooklyn.” One photo depicts a small run down house, captioned “Corner house on Madison Ave., N.E. cor. 77th St.” The album also includes two photographs of a Rogers 4-4-0 locomotive pulling a single train car labeled “N.Y.N.H. & H.R.R.”, which stood for the New York, New Haven, & Hartford Railroad, commonly know as The Consolidated. An album of well-taken and well-preserved photographs depicting Victorian-era New England, including several views from New York City.

Contains an engraved frontispiece portrait with tissue guard and six folded facsimile letters, light offsetting to text. Handwritten letter by the author to Col. Lamb attached to front flyleaf. In addition to commenting on the book, Washburne writes: "...I shall always guard the most agreeable souvenirs of my visit to the Old Dominion and of the many marked courtesies I received at your hand. / Should you ever visit Chicago, I shall expect the pleasure of entertaining you at my house. / I am, very truly yours, E.B. Washburne." (Graff 4552). Elihu B. Washburne (1816-1887) was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for the state of Illinois, serving from 1853-1869. An ardent abolitionist, Washburne was a leader among the Radical Republicans in Congress. During the Civil War, he was a strong supporter of President Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant. When Grant was elected president in 1868, Washburne briefly served as Secretary of State, then was appointed Minister to France. In retirement, Washburne wrote a memoir of his time spent in France, titled Recollections of a Minister to France, 1869-1877. The work was published shortly before his death in 1887.
