Merchantville, N.J. Joel Horner & Son, Grape Vines, Small Fruits, Etc. [circa 1888].
Price: $950.00
Unbound. Broadside. Measuring 13" x 14". Light old folds, a few dark stains, a very good example. Advertisement with a large woodcut of two lush bunches of grapes. A very uncommon, and conceivably unique broadside: we had a shop in Merchantville for over a decade and there are very few 19th Century Merchantville imprints. We've seen only one other, a town history published in 1899, and *OCLC* locates perhaps another three. The town was incorporated in 1874. Horner is mentioned most often in documents of the 1880s (vice president of the County Board of Agriculture in 1887; in correspondence with the State Board of Agriculture about grapes in 1889).
