1904




COPYRIGHT: 1904 with no signs of additional printings
PUBLISHER: Thompson & Thomas
PAGES: Unpaginated, see list of photos below, pages measure 11" x 8"
CONDITION: This hardback book has rec'd some TLC and is now solid and ready for your reading or researching. The spine has been recovered with black binding and the inside front hinge has been reinforced with white binding - inside rear is in good condition. Boards have minor edgewear and corner bumping; corners have been tinted and compressed for presentation. There is a previous owner's name in ink on inside front board (see pic below). The pages have minor edgewear and a few page-turning tears in the margins. Pages also have minor foxing and some old finger-smudges. The text block is solid with no loose pages. Headbands have been replaced. Page edges have been cleaned; pages are not brittle and the book has no odors.

From the book: Art Panorama of America, 1492-1905: Life and History. Treasures and splendors from Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate. A panorama of America's progress photographed in the finest art, and in the widest expansion of Modern Pictorial Illustration, complete from the landing of Columbus down to the present day. The photos appear don't appear in the order listed below. I've grouped them by states to make it easier for you to review the contents. Most of the photos have varying degrees of embellishment drawn onto the photo. It seems if there was an empty spot, people were added or a flag flying in the breeze was usually added to the top of buildings.
