View of the town of Hudson as it looked in 1823, printed in black, with rose and vine border. On the back or underside of this dish are views of Stockport, a few miles above Hudson. It is said that engravings were sent abroad by Hudson residents, from which these views were copied. 184. Hudson River. Baker’s Falls. Black print of view of Baker’s Falls. Hudson River, near Fishkill. See No. 173. Independence of Texas. See No. 254. Jordan, House of Richard. See No. 159. 185. Hudson River. Steamboat. E. Wood & Sons. This is a view in dark blue of a steamboat on the Hudson River taking passengers from the shore in a small boat attached to a rope which is wound around the steamer’s wheel. Accidents became so frequent from this means of transfer that the method was quickly abandoned. There are two of these sets of plates, precisely alike, save that on one on the wheel-house of the boat is the name “Chief Justice Marshal Troy,” and on the other the words “Union Line.” On another flag, which is seen on both plates, are the words “Troy Line.” They are marked “E. Wood & Sons.” I have seen three sizes of plates bearing these designs. One is here shown. [Illustration: Steamboat Plate.] 186. Landing of Columbus. Adams. A plate stamped in pink or black with a pretty design of the landing of Columbus. He stands with his two captains dressed in Spanish costume; Indians peer out from behind the trees; the three Spanish ships lie anchored off the shore. A scroll and flower border inclosing four medallions of quadrupeds. The stamp is “Adams.” The name “Columbus” is on an anchor. Landing of the Fathers. See No. 240. Landing of Mayflower. See No. 240. 187. Lake George. A beautiful view printed in dark blue on platters and plates, with shell border. Mark on back “Lake George, State of N. Y.” This is doubtless by E. Wood & Sons. 188. Lake Champlain. Macdonough’s Victory. Wood. This is a rather confused view of a naval encounter representing the battle of Lake Champlain. It has the clear, beautiful shell border, and the color is invariably rich and dark. It appears on all the pieces of tea and dinner services, and must have been sent to America in large numbers. On a rock in the foreground are the words “Commodore MacDonough’s Victory.” On the back, the impress mark “Wood.” A plate is here shown. [Illustration: MacDonough’s Victory Plate.] Lawrence Mansion. See No. 153. 189. Lexington. Transylvania University. E. Wood & Sons.
