About This Item
Boston: F. Gleason. Very Good+. 1854. First Edition. Print. Gleason's Pictorial ; 1 pages; A beautiful vintage print, hand-colored. This first page of the November 4, 1854 issue of Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion. Image measures 10 X 14 inches; matted print measures 22 X 14 inches. Beautiful coloring. The top image is the bannerhead of the publication which depicts Boston (City on the Hill) and Boston Harbor with two steam paddleboats and several sailing boats and ships. The central text serves as explication of the lower image which depicts NOVEMBER - two farmers and a young boy pulling ears of dried feed corn off the stacks of stalks and load them into an ox-drawn wagon. A large barn and farmhouse are in the background. Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion was a 19th-century illustrated periodical published in Boston, Massachusetts from 1851– 1859. The magazine was founded by Frederick Gleason in 1851. The publication name was changed to Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion in 1855, after managing editor Maturin Murray Ballou bought out the interest of Gleason. The magazine absorbed the Illustrated News of New York in 1853. It ceased publication in 1859. Extra shipping charge may apply. .
