Title: Two original sketches, of Prescott and Thumb Butte, Arizona Territory Author: ** Place: Arizona Publisher: Date: c.1888 Description: One is pen and ink, the other pencil, each pasted on a page from a scrapbook from that area which is filled with newspaper clippings and pictures of the day, along with two additional pages containing two tipped on ALS dated 1888 from The Vedette (a monthly journal published for the veterans of the Mexican War of 1846-48), addressed to Miss Minnie Grove in Prescott. The drawings measure approx. 16x22.5 cm. (6¼x8¾"). One of the drawings shows a more detailed picture of Prescott with the street blocks and houses illustrated, with the towering Thumb Butte in the background, while the other is a similar view but a bit less detailed. They were probably executed by a young artist, possibly Miss Grove, a resident of Prescott. The letters contain content concerning her father, a Mexican war veteran. Two wonderful early renderings of Prescott containing approximately 12 blocks, well before its development as a large city. Lot Amendments Condition: The pages are in very good condition as removed from a scrapbook. Item number: 213833
