The New Creek Coal Company operated it's mine in Virginia. The Company was also known as the New Creek Company. Our document is a Mortgage Loan of 1858 from the company, and signed by C.G. Childs as president. C.G. Childs was one of the foremost engravers in the City of Philadelphia getting his start as an apprentice in 1812. This was due to the early loss of his parents. Between 1827 and 1830, Childs completed his most noted project to date - "Views of Philadelphia." The guidebook, issued in six parts of twenty-four plates by local artists and engravers, depicted the landmarks of Philadelphia and was praised in the National Gazette (digitallibrarycompany.org). Childs then became president of the New Creek Coal Company in 1852, after retiring as an editor and printer. The New Creek Company possibly operated the New Creek Quarry in West Virginia. We could find no other information. This is a nice signature piece from Childs with a clear signature. VF. Uncancelled.
