Lot of six issues of Gleason’s Pictorial (and one Ballou’s Pictorial from 1855) from from spring to summer 1854 (March-June). Complete issues, removed from volume. Collins Fleet (American Mail Steamers); scenes from the city of Indianapolis; scenes from Pennsylvania and Georgia; scenes from Maine and Massachusetts; fishing industry at Marblehead, Maine; scenes from Japan. Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion was a 19th-century illustrated periodical published in Boston, Massachusetts. The magazine was founded by Frederick Gleason in 1851. It became Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion in 1855, after managing editor Maturin Murray Ballou bought out the interest of Gleason. The magazine absorbed the Illustrated News of New York in 1853. The bonus Ballou’s issue carries art/text on the launch of the steam frigate Merrimac.
