An 1839 New York pamphlet of extracts from reviews of John Delafield's book on the antiquities of America, published by Colt Burgess & Co. for a general readership interested in American archaeology. The pictured title vignette is a woodcut-style emblem with the words Antiquities of America around a figure, a stepped pyramid and trees, which a designer could take as a model for a bold, radial lettering-and-emblem layout.
