Art Work of New Haven County ( 9 parts complete bound together)
Chicago: W. H. Parrish Co., 1897. Early Edition. Hardcover. 9 folio parts, ca. 10.5" x 13.5" bound together in light brown half leather that has been re- backed with pebbled black cloth covered boards , binding now sound, but not beautiful. Contents near fine, some age toning of paper. There is no index, but the book begins with title, 13 leaves printed in rectos only of text and one illustration, followed by 5 pages of views on rectos only, then 1 of text, then 46 leaves of views on rectos only of areas around New Haven County. The plates have tissues guards- some of which are not wholly there. Near fine set in good binding. Wonderful views of the county ca. 1897. No names or bookplates noted inside. Note that a similar work on New Haven was published in 1896 - they are not the same. Collections of images like these were produced by several publishers around the same time with good quality images and documenting places and views that are often changed or non- existent now. Many of these sets are scarce. Shipping outside the USA should cost more an average book. Priority shipping may cost more as well. Very good. Item #17109
