POWNALL, THOMAS; after. A View of the City of Boston the Capital of New England, in North America. Engraved view of Boston on heavy stock. 11 3/4x21 1/4 inches sheet size, wide margins; light staining. [Boston, 1856]

Additional Details

Governor Pownall's circa 1760 view of Boston was re-engraved and included as a fold-out panorama in Samuel Drake's "History and Antiquities of Boston", 1856. The present strike appears to be a separate publication from that engraved plate, found here unfolded, on heavy stock, and without the "1757" date engraved below the title.
