Description: Del Vecchio, James, ed.Brooklyn Standard. A Family Journal Devoted to National Politics, Art, Science and Literature. Saturday, January 28, 1860. Vol. I, No. 14.Brooklyn [N.Y.]: James R. Del Vecchio, 1860. 4 pp. Illus. with b/w engravings and drawings. 23 1/4 x 17 1/2 inches. Self wrappers. Second edition. A very good copy with faint folds, small tears along edges, removed from a bound volume. Item #41316 The Brooklyn Standard, a weekly journal, was established in the fall of 1859, as "The Standard" by James R. Del Vecchio, with its last issue ending Jan 21; thus this is the first issue under the new name, which began with v.1, #14. The demand was so high that a second edition was printed the same day (at least that is the claim by Del Vecchio). Includes an engraving of John J. Audobon; election articles entitled "The President for 1860"; Speech of Senator Douglas (Stephen Arnold; Dem., IL); large advertisements for the 1860 issue of "The Fireman's Almanac." Stiles in his 1870 "A History of the City of Brooklyn" notes: "It was a Lincoln paper, having changed politics with its favorite, the late Stephen A. Douglas, and may now be classed among the Republican sheets. It has always given much attention to military and fire department matters, as well as to local news generally, (Vol. 3, p. 940); "copies of the Brooklyn Standard are extremely rare."
