In 1959 the 350th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain's discovery of Lake Champlain attracted visitors to dozens of fairs, festivals, parades, commemorations and pageants featuring a Champlain theme. Promoters proclaimed there was "something to see and do practically every day for an entire year." The highlight was the Champlain Canoecade, reenacting Champlain's voyage of discovery in 24 authentic birchbark canoes. Culminating the Canoecade was a staging of Champlain's battle with the Iroquois at Fort Ticonderoga. Other reenactments included the Rogers Rangers Pageant based on the Rogers Rangers raid of St. Francis, Québec in 1759, and the Fenian Raid depicting skirmishes around the Canadian border in 1870. There were winter carnivals, science fairs, art exhibitions, motorcycle rallies, horse shows, Scottish pageants, beauty contests and speedboat regattas. An official song, the "Hudson-Champlain March," was played at virtually every major event, And the festival was covered everywhere from the Saturday Evening Post and Redbook to all the big New York City newspapers.

Original illuminated document on parchment; hand-lettered in italic with gilt illuminations at upper left and right margins; signed beneath work by the calligrapher, "E. von E." (unidentified). With original signatures of 71 board members and staff of the Henry Street Settlement. Mild soil at margins; Near Fine. A handsome, hand-lettered tribute to outgoing President of the Board of the Henry Street Settlement Newbold Morris. Morris (1902-1966) was an important figure in Henry Street history, assuming the board presidency soon after the reorganization of the Settlement under Director Helen Hall, in 1944. Morris also played a prominent role in New York City planning and politics during the Robert Moses era; he was among the more prominent members of the New York Planning Commission; was President of the City Council from 1938 to 1945 and an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor in 1945 and 1949. Later, in 1961, Morris achieved some notoriety as the City Parks Commissioner, when he rejected the permits of hundreds of folk musicians who had been performing in Washington Square Park, sparking the so-called "Beatnik Riot," one of the opening salvos of Sixties countercultural activism. The document is undated, but expresses appeciation for Morris's "completion of a decade of service," placing it in the vicinity of 1954-5. Beneath the calligraphic portion, the document has been signed by seventy-one individuals, including fellow board-members, staff, and residents. These include a host of prominent mid-century New York figures, beginning with Hall herself and including the prominent civic leader Nicholas Kelley; choreographer Alwin Nikolais; economist Mary Keyserling; painter Jack Levine; long-time Henry Street youth worker Ralph Tefferteller, and many others. A unique and visually attractive artifact, marking the mid-century apex of one of the most successful and long-lived social welfare projects in New York. Signed.
