DESCRIPTION: 

With seventeen (17) light yellow paper, full page advertisements, located on the front and back of the volume, 144 pages of text, with many full page advertisements. Only the missing pull out New York City paper map, previously torn out of the volume, some spine cloth lightening (caused by prolonged exposure to light) and a dark stain, which runs diagonally across the front cloth cover, mar this otherwise wonderful and now nearly 150 year-old travel publication, designed for visitors to Post-US Civil War New York City, which was clearly the most important American urban citadel of manufacturing and industry in the post Civil War United States of America. The interior pages are nearly without damage and don't have corner folds, tears, yellowing, foxing, tanning, stains (dark or light) or insect larvae damage. This is a wonderful, mid-19th century American antique period travel and exploration publication, showing some of New York City's most notable, historic architectural landmarks. A great volume for New Yorkers and for those who've visited and who hold it dear to them.

CONDITION:

Good to Very Good overall antique condition.
