Description

Title: The Ship R.B. Forbes of Boston
Artist: Unknown
Publisher: Gleason's Pictorial
Engraver: Unknown
Description: This engraving shows the ship "R.B. Forbes" in port at Boston. All along its length are sailors tending to the sails while people on shore stand admiring it. There are dark clouds coming in from the left, the flag displaying the ships name blowing limply toward the right, perhaps signalling a coming storm. The goods on the docks are not being attended to, instead being left as they are in favor of admiring the view of the ship.

Work Size: 7.0x9.0"

Condition: There is a large stain, about an inch in diameter at the bottom right of the print, as well as some creasing vertically along the entire print, perhaps from folding. On the verso, there are words from the journal that this print was pulled from, the Gleason's Pictorial.
Provenance: Forbes estate
History: Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion was a 19th-century illustrated periodical published in Boston, Massachusetts. The magazine was founded by Frederick Gleason in 1851. It became Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion in 1855, after managing editor Maturin Murray Ballou bought out the interest of Gleason. The magazine absorbed the Illustrated News of New York in 1853.
