186 pp. An incomplete, damaged copy of a spectacular catalog. This copy was once used as a scrapbook. 76 of the original 93 leaves are present. 19 of the leaves present have damage from residue of newspaper clippings (including colored comics) which had been pasted down. 68 sides are fully or partially printed in bright, sharp color. (Many leaves have color only on one side.) The merchandise offered is agateware serving dishes, urns, pitchers, coffee pots, etc. If complete and undamaged, this would be likely be one of the finest 19th century trade catalogs we had seen. Regrettably, it is not, but what remains is still striking. See Romaine p. 100 for a similar catalog of the same year from this company.
