About This Item
New York: 33 Spruce Street, 1844. Hand-colored lithograph broadside, 10" x 13" [to sight], in a contemporary wood frame. Light dusting, Very Good.
Dorr, with a Napoleonic haircut and seated in front of blue drapes, holds a copy of the "Constitution of Rhode Island" in his right hand. The only State without a written Constitution, Rhode Island still governed itself under its colonial charter, barring about half the adult males from the suffrage. Dorr led the effort to change his State's political system, and was rebuffed. He and his People's Party set up a competing government. Governor King declared martial law, arrested Dorr, and indicted him for treason. At his sentencing he spoke the inspiring words printed beneath the imprint.
Nathaniel and Charles Currier, brothers and lithographers, occupied 33 Spruce Street from at least 1841 to 1845. Nathaniel later formed a partnership with James Merritt Ives. Charles would collaborate with artist Fanny Palmer to develop a popular recipe for lithographic crayons.
Gale 6736. OCLC 209800104 [1- AAS] as of March 2022.
