Sketches in New Brunswick
New Brunswick Land Company, 1836
NEW BRUNSWICK & NOVA SCOTIA LAND-COMPANY – Sketches in New Brunswick, taken principally with the intention of shewing the Nature and Description of the Land in the Tract Purchased by the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Land Company, in the year 1833. London: Ackermann & Co., 1 March 1836.

Rare first edition, depicting the founding and settlement of Stanley, New Brunswick. “No public price has been found and it is likely that the work was produced for private circulation. The plates show the encampment of the surveying party at the site of Stanley; and include the mill dam at Stanley and its erection; general scenes in and around Stanley and Winter View looking up the River St. John” (Bobins). There is also a view of the first tavern in Stanley, appropriate to the first immigrants to the town, teenage millworkers from London and their overseers. Within a couple of decades, Stanley became home to the Stanley Fair, the longest continuously running agricultural fair in Canada. This is the first copy to be offered at auction since 1986, according to RBH. Abbey Travel 623; Bobins 65; Lande 2035; Sabin 81551; Spendlove p.35, TPL 1907.

Folio (382 x 265mm). Lithographed title and 12 hand-colored lithographed plates, one of which is folding (pale toning and a little finger-soiling or edge-wear). Original lithographed front wrapper bound in (some stains, starting to separate at hinge). Later quarter roan (minor wear); modern chemise and slipcase. Provenance: Astley Terry (bookplate).Canada
