Original 1858 Wood Engraving Fireman’s Procession through Union Square, New York City. Hand colored using premium watercolor paints and pencils. The Fireman’s Procession Passing the Washington Monument, Union Square, Evening Sept 1st 1858 Detailed Report of the Proceedings had in Commemoration of the Successful Laying of the Atlantic Cable, by order of the Common Council of the City of New York, by Charles T. McClenachan [New York 1863, Edmund Jones & Co, Corporation Printers, No. 26 John Street]. The lithograph above actually shows the cable pyramid and six horses of the American Express car, as described in the Report: “At 10 o’clock the head of the procession started. Down Forty-second street to Sixth avenue they marched, receiving the city authorities and their guests, who accompanied the procession in carriages. Thence, headed by deputations of policemen from the Tenth and Thirteenth Precincts, commanded by Sergeant Waterbury, they marched down Sixth avenue, then down Broadway; from Broadway, at Union Square, they made a detour, and marched round the equestrian statue of Washington, then returned to Broadway, down which they marched to the City Hall park, and passed through the eastern entrance. At one o’clock they were dismissed. The passage of the procession through Broadway was a scene of unrivaled splendor. The sidewalks were crowded with the populace. The balconies, the windows, the house-tops, were filled with people. Almost every house was illuminated, and the decorations that we have already described as being visible during the day, shone with heightened effect and redoubled lustre. The street was clear as noonday, and while the brilliant pageant was passing, afforded a spectacle of popular rejoicing such as has been rarely, if ever, witnessed on this continent.” “The other portion of the procession that came in for a very particular manifestation of enthusiasm was the large coil of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable, which was neatly wound around a pyramid on a car drawn by six horses, gaily caparisoned with flags and plumes. This important part of the display was confided to the care of the brave sailors of the Niagara, and the handsome team by which it was drawn was furnished by the American Express Company. “Behind this car came the crew of the United States ship Niagara, bearing before them a model of their splendid ship. These hearty fellows were vehemently applauded.” LIKE THIS ITEM?. BUT DON’T LIKE THE PRICE? HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO PAY? MAKE US AN OFFER!
