A clean and attractive example of this charming scene of the tiny west central Illinois city associated with Joseph Smith and the Mormons before their westward flight.

This image first appeared in the July 8 1853 issue of the "New-York Illustrated News" then on July 22 1854 the identical image was published in "Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion" in Boston. This particular example has been simply and tastefully hand colored and is framed under a single cream matte in a modern 3/4" wood frame all archival and quite handsome -- overall dimensions 15" X 13". Removal from the framing would of course allow determination which printing this is based on the typeset text on verso but the engraving plate is identical in either case. A beautiful example of this memorable early image of the famed Mormon site elegantly presented. unknown
