BOSTON STATE HOUSE, BY STUBBS. 
SOME RARITIES IN PRINTED CHINA 
Edivin At Ice Barber 
AMONG the rare dark blue American designs in old Eng- 
lish china is the Boston State House with the Eagle 
border of Stubbs. A beautiful example is owned by Mrs. G. 
L. Hurd of Lakeville, Conn., from which the accompanying 
illustration is taken. Another uncommon view, owned by the 
same collector, is that of Newburgh, N. Y., by Jackson, here 
shown. 
VIEW OF NEWBURGH. JACKSON'S. 
Collectors have recently become greatly interested in 
Syntax plates, probably for the reason that they are among 
the finest examples of keramic engraving and transfer printing, 
and the color, while not of the darkest, is particularly attract- 
ive. The serial border of this set of views is a design of 
flowers and scroll work, but at least one possesses a special bor- 
der, bearing panels containing Syntax designs. The view 
referred to is" Dr. Syntax Disputing His Bill With the Land- 
lady." A fine example may be seen in the Pennsylvania 
Museum, Philadelphia. At least one of the Syntax set, — 
" Br. Syntax Painting a Portrait," — is being counterfeited and 
offered by dealers to unsuspecting collectors.
