Douglas Brown, winner of the 2024 Ticknor Book Collecting Prize, will discuss his collection focusing on this pivotal and under-appreciated period, America prior to the Revolution. Join us to learn about his personal collecting journey and how he became interested in this period of American history.
Items from his collection that we will see include travel accounts, satirical broadsides (one of which was engraved by Paul Revere), a revolutionary newspaper, several contemporary histories, an original revenue stamp from the Stamp Act of 1765, treaties, pamphlets, and more.
Please register for Doug's presentation by sending us a brief email. We will send you the link shortly before February 26th.
