This 1861 Montreal pamphlet is a corporate charter notice for the British American Manufacturing Company, a cotton textile firm incorporated by special act of the Parliament of the Province of Canada, printed by Plunkett & Co. for shareholders and the public. The pictures are a crest-style company seal with a seated figure, a cotton plant and gears beside a spinning or mill machine, and a plain title page with a flourish, offering a designer a ready vocabulary of nineteenth-century commercial seal emblems and industrial heraldry.
