Rhode Island imprints; a list of books, pamphlets, newspapers and broadsides printed at Newport, Providence, Warren, Rhode Island between 1727 and 1800
A bibliography of books, pamphlets, newspapers and broadsides printed in Newport, Providence and Warren from 1727 to 1800, compiled by George Parker Winship with the Rhode Island Historical Society and the John Carter Brown Library and published in Providence in 1915 for librarians, collectors and bibliographers. Its plates reproduce colonial press work in facsimile: royal arms woodcuts with lion and unicorn supporters, ships-and-fort newspaper mastheads, and close crops of worn letterpress text, useful for period type, crude relief-cut vignettes and printed-paper textures.
