Synopsis

This book is a collection of reproductions of Henry R. Blaney's etchings and includes text by the author. His pencil sketches, made on the spot, capture the flavor of old Boston from A.D. 1695 to 1800. Reproduced by the half-tone process, the etchings retain the quaint charm of the old city while also depicting the vibrant street life of the late 19th century. The author has also included rare wet plate negatives, taken from 1855 to 1869, some of which are unavailable elsewhere. The collection offers a unique glimpse into Boston's architectural and social history, providing valuable insights into the city's transformation during the Revolutionary period.
