How History Unfolds on Paper: Choice Selections from the Eric C. Caren Collection, Part IX

[NEW YORK CITY]. Large Group of 38 Manuscript Invoices for Street Paving, General Repairs, and Salary Requests for The Corporation of New York. New York. [New York, 1819]. All on plain white paper, including some on laid paper. Various sizes, ranging from approximately 900 x 204 mm to 105 x 150 mm. Generally toned, all creased, some with wear, chipping, tears at creases. An interesting group. These notes, several of which are signed by city officials (“R. Graves”, “John Horne”, “O. Edwards”, and more), are an interesting look at the push to improve New York City with street paving, sidewalk repair, etc.
