America From Alaska To The Gulf Of Mexico
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
The alternative title on the title page is: "Scenic Marvels of the New World". The subtitle: "a pictorial tour of the North American continent exhibiting its incomparable natural wonders: mountain grandeur, awe-inspiring canons, and idyllic lake scenery, with glimpses of the country's famous historic shrines, monuments, and cities, and their characteristic natural and artistic features, and other picturesque landscape beauties; together with a representation of the chief cruisers of the United States Navy". Monochrome full-page photos (see image 2 for an example). There are a number of other similar formats available, including different publishers, a different editor and slightly different titles, but as far as can be ascertained, this item is the scarcest. There are however some printers' errors: The 'representation of cruisers' section (pp 337-344) is at the front of the book, re-paginated; pages 321-336, which should immediately precede these cruiser pages, are missing - but not through any damage to the fabric of the book. The copyright date is 1894 but it is suspected that this is a slightly later edition. Very good condition for age. Spring-bound cover is intact with some minimal shelfwear/bumped corners. Marbled endpapers appear to be original. A rare opportunity to own this possibly unique item.
