A paper on American naval flags and September battles read by George Henry Preble to the New-England Historic Genealogical Society and printed for private distribution in Boston in 1874, for antiquarians and members of the society. The plates here are book-fabric and penwork rather than subject illustration: hand-drawn black scroll corner flourishes on blue paper, combed marbled endpapers in red, blue and ochre waves, and a plain cloth cover, useful as scanned paper textures, corner ornaments and endpaper patterns.
