Ogden's extra-illustrated set of volumes of Francis' Old New York (ca. 1659-1897?).

When suitable illustrations could not be found, Goelet had them made. Insertions include autograph correspondence, illustrations, broadsides, views, and portraits, including over 40 watercolors by Charles M. Jenckes and portraits in ink by G. Reynolds.
