17793689<b>Scarce Contemporary Stony Point Battle Plan</b><br /><br />This rather crude woodcut depicts a battle plan of General "Mad Anthony" Wayne's daring and dramatic capture of the British fortification at Stony Point about 30 miles up the Hudson River from New York City. The battle planned in detail by Washington took place around midnight on July 16 1779. <br /><br /> The lower portion of the battle plan includes a four item key: "A. The British Fortress B. Abattes abatis in front C. The Reserve D. The detached Party who stormed the Works." Nebenzahl's <i>A Bibliography of Printed Battle Plans of the American Revolution 1775-1795</i> cites only a 1784 London-printed battle plan by Faden for the Stony Point engagement #145. The offered plan is not noted by Nebenzahl was published in America and was issued five years earlier than the Faden plan. The<i> Bickerstaff's Boston Almanack</i> for 1780 would almost certainly have been published in November or December of 1779 – within six months of the actual battle. <br /><br /> A very scarce almanac in the trade. Auction records indicate the most recent copy sold at the Gutman sale in 2005 for $4800. Prior to that Swann sold an example in 1979. <br /><br /><b>References:</b> For the almanac: Evans: 16287; Drake: 3290. For the map: Cresswell: 309. <br /><br /><b>Condition: </b>Map appears on verso of title page and measures about 6 ½ x 3 ¾." Almanac is complete in 24 pp. Slight loss of road table text at upper tip of final leaf.<br /><br />ICN 7643. Printed and sold by Draper and Folsom, and John Mycall of Newbury.
17893563Castle William's heritage as a military installation dates to 1634 when cannons first were deployed in an earthen fort to defend Boston Harbor. British officials used the fort as a refuge in the tumultuous times leading up to the American Revolution; on their way out of Boston in March 1776 the British destroyed the Fort. It was quickly rebuilt by Bostonians. <br /><br />The present view shows the rebuilt Fort with an oversized American flag waving above. The Fort served as an active military installation during the American Revolution the War of 1812 the Spanish-American War and World Wars I and II. Known as Fort Independence since 1797 the Fort today is a state park. <br /><br />Stauffer attributes the engraving to Samuel Hill who did many of the plates for the <i>Massachusetts Magazine</i>.

Gill married Moses Gill a merchant and politician from Massachusetts. The Colonial printer John Gill was the brother in law to Sarah Gill. <br /> <br /> AI generated: An Eighteenth Century imprint with a skull and bones illustrated title page is commonly referred to as a "memento mori" imprint. Memento mori is a Latin phrase meaning "remember that you will die" and it refers to artistic or literary works that serve as a reminder of the inevitability of death. The skull and bones illustrated title page was a popular motif during the 18th century often used in books and other printed materials to symbolize mortality and the transience of life.

17843834<p>This extremely scarce map of Boston appeared as part of the <em>Geographical Gazetteer of the Towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts</em> a work issued in parts as a supplement to <em>The Boston Magazine</em> from October 1784 through December 1785. The map appeared with the October 1784 issue of <em>The Boston Magazine</em>.</p><p>Wheat & Brun note that this map is based largely on Norman's <strong>Plan of the Town of Boston with the Attack on Bunkers-Hill.</strong> published in the Boston edition of <em>An Impartial History of the War in America</em> in 1781. The present map covers a somewhat smaller geographic area and on a modestly larger scale than the map that appeared in <em>An Impartial History</em>. It also adds/eliminates/changes some street names and landmarks making it more than a direct re-engraving and suggesting the involvement of a cartographer -- perhaps Osgood Carleton with whom Norman collaborated on several maps and charts in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Norman's 1781 <strong>Plan</strong> was itself sourced directly from the map appearing in the English edition of <em>An Impartial History </em>1778.</p><p>Although the present map is not listed in the Boston Engineering Department's <em>List of Maps of Boston Published Subsequent to 1600</em> 1904 it is referenced in the listing for a 1789 version of the map that had apparently been re-engraved for Norman's <em>Boston Directory</em> 1789.
