Art Work of New Haven Connecticut ( 9 parts complete bound together)
Chicago: W. H. Parrish Co., 1896. First 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, 14 leaves printed in rectos only of text and one illustration, followed by 54 leaves of views printed on rectos only of areas around New Haven. The plates have tissue guards- some of which are not wholly there. Near fine set in good binding. Wonderful views of the county ca. 1896. No names or bookplates noted inside. Note that a similar work on New Haven County was published in 1897 - they are not the sme. 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 #17110
