Summary

John Warner Barber, an amateur historian, engraver, and printer, traveled around Connecticut sketching town greens, hotels, schools, churches, and harbors. He also collected local history and immersed himself in the works of such noted historians as Dr. Trumbull. From these labors he produced Connecticut Historical Collections, a book of fine wood engravings and lively history. In its first year, 1837, it sold 7000 copies. Reissued later, it again sold well.Today, though his wood engravings are well known, few copies of the book remain. Antique dealers unfortunately do a brisk business selling the woodcuts from volumes they have "broken." Now readers can again enjoy Barber's beautiful engravings as well as his delightfully entertaining history of the towns then in existence.
