Provenance: Depicting a bustling day in New York Harbor, this vibrant scene includes a view of Castle Clinton, built to protect New York Kennedy & Co., New York Harbor from the British during the War of 1812. To the left is a triple-decker vessel that appears in quite a number of Quester Gallery, Stonington, CT paintings by Buttersworth, and that appears to have been a product of his imagination. [Rudolph J. Schaefer, J. E. C The Nelson Doubleday, Jr. Buttersworth, 19th—Century Marine Painter, Mystic Seaport, 1975, p. 108] The Harbor is awash with sailing ships of all Collection sizes – but at the center we see the dispatch boat of The New York Herald on its mission of intercepting ships arriving $10,000-15,000 from Europe, to retrieve the news they carried. James Gordon Bennett, flamboyant publisher of theHerald , had initiated See Illustration this practice in the 1830s, with the intention of being the first to publish news from abroad and beating his competitors (who waited until the ships had docked) to the punch. With increasing cooperation among newspapermen in the 1840s, and the advent of the telegraph in 1848, such schemes were no longer necessary.
Castle Clinton itself was converted into a restaurant and theatre in 1824, and in 1855 began to serve a new function – as the official immigrant processing center in the nation. It continued in that role until 1890. C The Nelson Doubleday, Jr. Collection $25,000-35,000 See Illustration

One such competition, the Great Tea Race of 1866, ended with an unusually close finish, with the Taeping docking just 28 minutes before the Ariel. This was a particularly bitter defeat for the Ariel, which had been ahead for most of the run until encountering unfavorable tidal conditions in the Thames estuary.

61 [AMERICAN REVOLUTION] WASHINGTON, GEORGE. Important 1776 letter signed to the New York Committee of Safety. [New York: 17 April 1776]. Four page manuscript letter on a bifolium, the text in the hand of aide William Palfrey and signed on the final leaf by Washington, the letter to the New York Committee of Safety [this known from the letter book copy in which this letter is addressed to William Paulding, chairman of the committee], and below Washington’s signature is a four line note from the committee calling a meeting in response to the letter. 8 3/8 x 7 1/4 inches. Nicely presented in a double-sided frame with portraits of Washington and Benjamin Franklin to the recto (this letter once thought to be in the hand of Franklin) and a view of Mount Vernon and the printed text of the letter to verso. Well preserved overall but the first and fourth pages lightly faded and with a faint old stain at center fold mostly at foot darkening some text and the signature, small punctures at fold points, unexamined out of frame.
IN THIS STIRRINGLY PATRIOTIC 1776 LETTER, WASHINGTON DEMANDS THE CITIZENS OF NEW YORK STOP SUPPLYING PROVISIONS TO BRITISH SHIPS OF WAR IN NEW YORK HARBOR. Washington, as commander in chief of the Continental Army, spent much of 1775 and early 1776 in Massachusetts, and upon the British evacuation of Boston ordered much of the army to New York where he arrived on April 4th. Once in the city, Washington was very much suprised to learn that New York’s Provincial Congress and the Committee of Safety continued to allow local merchants to supply provisions to the British ships anchored in New York Harbor as long as the British allowed ships importing goods to the city to pass unmolested. Washington points out the “glaring absurdity of such procedure” and to support his strong conviction, philosophically asks if New York is in a state of peace or war with Great Britain: “If the former why are our Ports shut up-Our Trade destroyed-Our property seized-Our Towns burnt, and our worthy and valuable Citizens led into Captivity & suffering the most cruel hardships? If the latter, my imagination is not fertile enough to suggest a reason in support of the intercourse.” He continues reporting that while the weak state of New York’s defenses once made these exchanges with the British necessary and even prudent, the defenses are now much improved and thus “the advantages of an intercourse of this kind are altogether on the side of the Enemy, whilst we derive not the smallest benefit from it” and further warns against the delivery of intelligence to the enemy by the merchants. Washington requests a ”total Stop to all future Correspondence with the Enemy” and that of the committee he is “relying upon your Zeal and attachment to the Cause of American Liberty for your assistance in putting a Stop to this Evil.” Washington also warns of the wider affect the exchanges with the British could have on the fragile unity among the American colonies as the “World is apt to judge from appearances, and while such Correspondence exists the reputation of the whole Colony will suffer in the Eyes of their American Bretheren” and suggests punishment for those who would continue these activities. A hurried note at the foot of the letter orders the committee to meet the next morning and by the end of April communication with the enemy was forbidden.

97 LEAF FROM
100 [GUTENBERG] NEWTON, A. EDWARD. A Noble Fragment being a leaf of the Gutenberg Bible 1450-1455. New York: Gabriel Wells, 1921. Containing a leaf from the Gutenberg Bible [Mainz: Printer of the 42-line Bible (Johann Gutenberg) and Johannes Fust, about 1455], consisting of Luke 1:12 to 2:9. Full dark blue morocco, title in gilt on upper cover, covers ruled in blind, publisher’s slipcase. 16 x 11 1/2 inches (40 x 29 cm); 8 ff. (including blanks), the Gutenberg leaf 15 3/8 x 11 1/8 inches (39 x 28.5 cm), neatly hinged to a blank following the text. Light wear to the leather spine, which is a little dry, with some evidence of restoration, the slipcase lightly restored, overall sound; the Gutenberg leaf within with the usual minor finger soil, three tiny marginal spots, overall in sound condition. With the bookplate of Nelson Doubleday on the front pastedown.
The leaves in Wells’s Noble Fragment originate from the copy of the Gutenberg Bible whose lineage is the Court Library of Mannheim—Royal Library of Munich—Robert Curzon, 1810-1870, 14th Baron Zouche (from 1870)—Mary Cecil Curzon Frankland, 1877-1965, 17th Baroness Zouche (from 1917), sold via Sotheby’s, 9 November 1920, lot 70—Frank Sabin—Gabriel Wells. This was missing 50 of its 643 leaves, some of the remaining leaves had the lower margins cut away, and a number of leaves had losses where illuminations had been extracted. Given the condition, Wells decided that it would make fiscal sense to sell it by the leaf (and where possible, by complete books of the Bible), less of a heresy in 1921 than this seems today. This action enabled the New York Public Library copy to be brought to a state closer to completion, as with Wells’ gift of leaves only one leaf remained lacking from its copy. Other institutions were similarly able to perfect or partially perfect defective copies, and for a price of $150, many private collectors were able to own a page of this, the Editio Princeps of the Bible and the first substantial book printed from moveable type.
The leaf from Luke in this copy is two columns, 42 lines printed in Gutenberg’s type 1:140G. It is rubricated in red and blue (initial F of the second chapter with a two-line initial in red), headlines of alternate red-blue lombards, a chapter number of alternate red-blue elements, and red capital strokes. The Latin text contains Luke’s account of the birth of John the Baptist, the Annunciation, and the first part of the Nativity including the birth of Jesus; in short, Luke’s
100 familiar account of the events leading up to, and including, the birth of Jesus. A more compelling single leaf from the first printed Bible is hard to imagine. For the Gutenberg Bible see Goff B-526;
