201. Natural Bridge. Virginia. A poor and small view of the Natural Bridge, printed in light blue or pink in the centre of a white plate. Sometimes the plate has a weakly drawn flower border. 202. Newburgh, on the Hudson River. W. R. This is a black print on a white china plate twelve inches in diameter. On the back an impressed shield and eagle, and an oblong stamp surmounted by an eagle and having a pendent festoon of flowers. The name “View from Ruggles House in Newburgh Hudson River,” and the initials W. R., are on the stamp. There is no border. In the centre of the plate is a pretty view of the Hudson River with the familiar mountains in the background. The water is dotted with sloops and little boats, and a large tree is at the left of the foreground. 203. Newburgh, on the Hudson River. Black print on dinner set of a view of Washington’s Headquarters at Newburgh. Confused rose border. 204. New York Fire, or Ruins of Merchants’ Exchange. This plate is ten inches in diameter, in a brown or dull blue print. A view of the ruins of the Merchants’ Exchange, with the front still standing, is in the centre of the plate. A safe and books and papers, and a group of persons, are in the foreground, also a squad of four soldiers with an officer. Sentries patrol in front of the Exchange; groups of lookers-on are on either side; and flames and smoke in the background. The border is divided by eight scrolls bearing alternately the words “Great Fire” and “City of New York.” The spaces contain alternate subjects; one a group of old fire-implements, a fire-engine, fireman’s hat and trumpet, and underneath the date, 1833; the other space contains a phœnix with flames behind, against a background of old city buildings, and underneath the date, December 16th. On the back of the plate, the same phœnix over the stamp “Ruins Merchants Exchange,” and in fine letters the mark “Stone-Ware.” This plate was printed to commemorate the terrible fire which devastated the business portion of New York in 1833, burning over thirteen acres in extent and causing a loss of seventeen million dollars. The fire extended from Coffee House Slip along South Street to Coenties Slip, thence to Broad Street, along William Street to Wall Street, burning down the south side to the East River, with the exception of the buildings from Number 51 to 61. The Merchants’ Exchange was one of the last buildings to yield to the flames.
