Lot 1952
Broadside for New York Steamship George Law. A very attractive broadside of the George Law (not to be confused with the George Law which became The S.S. Central America in 1857). This steamship was used for Sunday excursions to New York around the period of 1852-1854 and was Captained by A.E. Shaw. Departing Glen Wood (6 A.M.), Glen Cove (6 A.M.), and White Stone (7 A.M.), they headed to New York City. At 6 P.M. they returned back to their original ports.
The ship on this broadside was that of the S.S. Alida, built in New York in 1847, for it was not uncommon to use already made prints of similar steamships in their ads.
This unique broadside has three horizontal and one vertical fold, but overall is in excellent condition and is museum quality matted and framed in the style of the period. The broadside measures 131/4"x 18 3/4", and the frame 18 1/2"x24."
Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000.
