Añadir al carritoA rare lithograph of the U.S.S. Saratoga at the Battle of Anton Lizardo. The battle, which took place just off Veracruz in March 1860, played an important role in ending Mexico's Reform War by denying the rebel conservatives much needed munitions and ensuring their defeat by liberal government forces. The Saratoga, formerly a pa…rt of Perry's Far East Squadron, had been sailing in the Gulf of Mexico under the command of Thomas Turner, and attacked the two Mexican rebel ships on the understanding that they had defected from the Mexican navy and were now considered pirates by their government. On March 6 the Saratoga and several smaller accompanying ships succeeded in capturing the General Miramon and running the Marques of Havana aground after close-quarters, ship-to-ship fighting. The lithograph was executed by John Perry Newell after an original sketch by Lieut. Pierce Crosby, who later became a rear admiral. Newell was known for his popular naval lithographs and had this image published by the firm of John Bufford, where he got his start in the late 1850s. The present instance of his work is quite rare. A 1933 Goodspeed's catalogue makes reference to a fable that only four copies were made before the stone was destroyed, and neither the Library of the Naval Department nor the Library of Congress has a copy. Indeed, no copies are recorded by OCLC, although a copy is known at the Mariners' Museum Library in Newport News. An attractive image, almost never encountered on the market, of a lesser-known American naval engagement just prior to the Civil War. Tinted lithograph, 17 x 21 inches. A few small chips and short closed tears at edges, not affecting image. Browned, a few patches of light dampstaining at top edge, horizontal line of dust soiling across upper quarter of sheet. Good. Matted.

Añadir al carritoLithograph, drawn and lithographed by Newell, printed by Bufford. Panoramic view of Providence, Rhode Island. Taken from the perspective of a rooftop on the west bank of the river, the bustling waterfront dominates the view, with numerous sailboats and paddle steamers along the waterway. Factories and warehouses line the dock at… the fore-ground, and in the background the city stretches far into the distance, with several church spires pointing from within the many buildings. College Hill rises far in the distance, with several larger buildings (Brown University) discernible.
