small, is an isolated comic of unusual charm, I think. One of their views is “Boston Common (Beacon Street Mall looking toward Park Street),” n.d., small, a well known and interesting print. At present it is the only copy known.Īnother Western is “Midnight Race on the Mississippi.” He considers it one of best of all the Western lithographs, and I agree with him. “Union Pacific Rail Road…1872,” large folio, colored, was lent me by General William B. There are few prints of the crimes we committed like this. The Indian in Doubt,” n.d., 12.4 x 7.13,Ĭolored, from 14 Hanover Street, showing a trader using the Demon Run to secure what he wants from the Red Man. There are other Haskell & Allen marines.Īmong Westerns, there is “Trading on the Plains.
“A Breezy Day Outside…1872,” 25.3 x 18., shows four schooners. Therefore I have reproduced it in colors. It is almost a Durrie, and is a real American winter scene and typical of the firm. The “Winter” is most amusing, showing oxen, a cutter, and boys with sleds.
#Haskell allen series#
The series of four large undated colored folios, “Spring,” “Summer,” “Autumn,” and “Winter,” is well known. Another fine one, showing a team of chestnuts to a cutter, in a winter scene, is “Fearnaught Stallions. Though no other work, to my knowledge, is signed by Howe, I should be inclined to assign to him also the interesting road scene, similar to the pair just mentioned, entitled “Trotting Cracks on the Brighton Road. 1867…1872.” This print of a single horse racing a team has great spirit, and, incidentally, the details of the harness are most interesting.Īn unusually entertaining pair, showing horses, turnouts, sheds, and a roadhouse of the period, is “Leaving Brighton Hotel for the Mill-Dam,” – “Summer” and “Winter” – both designed by E.E. The best of the Haskell & Allen trotting prints is the fine large folio of “Dexter, Ethan Allen & Mate. Haskell & Allen’s horse prints were their most memorable productions, and the interest of this group places it next, by a number of lengths, behind the great Currier & Ives gallery of horses.
