Newsprint wraps, large elephant Folio size, 16 pp. Numerous illustrations from engravings. Some edge wear and moderate foxing. Better than very good; sharp, healthy, well-preserved copy. This issue contains articles - and/or the diverse and now somewhat legendary engravings accompanying many of them - on Boston Common, The Contrabandist [fiction], Theater, Albany (six engravings of older Albany buildings, some shown in scans), Calcutta, Bashi-Bazouks, the American Prairie, Samuel Rogers, and a number of smaller items and/or engravings dealing with the Boston area. Maturin Ballou's 16-page newsprint periodical was already a piece of American history when he, as managing editor of Gleason's Pictorial, bought it - the first successful illustrated weekly newspaper in America - from owner Frederick Gleason in 1855. lLng1
