🗞️ HARPER'S WEEKLY · February 3, 1877 Complete Issue + Supplement Pages · New York ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A historically rich issue spanning Chinese immigration at the height of the anti-Chinese movement, the Revolutionary War, Delaware River ice breaking, Russian war preparations, and two Thomas Nast cartoons. Strong content across American immigration history, Revolutionary history, and Gilded Age political art. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🖼️ THE FRONT PAGE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇨🇳 FULL FRONT PAGE — "CHINESE IMMIGRANTS AT THE SAN FRANCISCO CUSTOM HOUSE" The full front page is devoted to a scene of Chinese immigrants arriving at the San Francisco Custom House — published at the peak of the anti-Chinese movement in California, just five years before the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This image is a primary document of one of the most significant and fraught chapters of American immigration history, capturing Chinese immigrants at the moment of their entry into the United States at a time of intense public controversy over their presence. A historically significant piece of Chinese-American history and Western Americana. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✏️ THOMAS NAST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚖️ FULL PAGE — THOMAS NAST: "THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION" A full-page Nast cartoon — a pointed legal and political commentary in the midst of the Hayes-Tilden electoral crisis, when questions of legal limits, precedents, and political accountability were consuming the nation. 💧 FULL PAGE — THOMAS NAST: "FIRE AND WATER MAKE VAPOR" A second full-page Nast cartoon — two powerful forces producing steam, a classic Nast elemental metaphor for Gilded Age political conflict. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏴 THE CENTERFOLD ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🥁 DOUBLE-PAGE CENTERFOLD — "DRUMMING OUT A TORY — A REVOLUTIONARY INCIDENT" The visual showpiece of the issue — a sweeping double-page centerfold depicting a dramatic Revolutionary War scene: a Loyalist being publicly drummed out of the community, a vivid and humiliating ritual of Revolutionary-era social justice. A wonderful and action-filled piece of American Revolutionary history across the full breadth of the newspaper. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧊 ADDITIONAL ILLUSTRATIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧊 FULL PAGE — "BREAKING THE ICE BLOCKADE IN THE DELAWARE RIVER" A full-page illustration of the dramatic effort to break through ice blocking the Delaware River — a vivid document of winter river commerce and the critical role of the Delaware in Eastern trade. A striking piece of Mid-Atlantic American history. 🥄 HALF PAGE — "AMERICAN SILVER WARE" A half-page illustration of American silver ware — a showcase of Gilded Age decorative arts and the era's remarkable silversmithing craft. 👤 TWO QUARTER-PAGE PORTRAITS · **Count Rumford** — the remarkable American-born physicist and inventor who became a Bavarian count, a fascinating figure of the Revolutionary era · **The Late Rev. A.H. Washburn, D.D.** — a notable American clergyman ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚔️ THE SUPPLEMENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🪖 HALF PAGE — "WAR PREPARATIONS IN RUSSIA — IMPRESSING WAGONS AND HORSES FOR ARMY TRANSPORT" A half-page illustration of Russian military mobilization — wagons and horses being commandeered for army transport — published on the eve of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877, one of the great conflicts of the era. A significant piece of Russian military history captured at the very moment of mobilization. ⚔️ FULL PAGE — "THE ARMORER TELLING THE STORY OF THE SWORD" A full-page supplement illustration — a richly atmospheric scene of an armorer recounting the history of a sword, a wonderful piece of Victorian romantic historical illustration. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 CONDITION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I photograph every page of every issue so you can inspect the condition closely before purchasing.
