1886 Home Insurance Co. of New York Statement & 1885 Fire Causes Chart – Antique Ephemera
Approximately 5.5" by 8.5"
Original antique ephemera lot featuring a January 1886 semi-annual financial statement from the Home Insurance Company of New York and an 1885 fire cause analysis diagram from The Chronicle Fire Tables. The statement includes detailed financial data such as cash capital, asset breakdown, and reserve funds, while the striking red circular diagram graphically illustrates the comparative number of fires in the U.S. in 1884, emphasizing incendiarism and preventable causes. Dated January 12, 1886. A fascinating glimpse into 19th-century insurance practices and fire statistics.
Great for collectors of vintage insurance documents, fire history, or New York business ephemera.
