About this Item
Twelve parts, each bound separately. Profusely illustrated. Folio. Original crimson stiff patterned wrappers, gilt. Minor rubbing, few creases to front cover of first volume. Very good. A beautiful set of the "Art Work" series for Washington, profusely illustrated with over 100 photogravures of scenery of the Evergreen State. Although most issues of this series focus on the developing urbanity of the cities and towns they portray, the Washington set depicts mainly but not exclusively natural scenes. A sampling from the first part shows Cape Horn of the Columbia River; Chelan Falls; Copper Lake, Monte Cristo; Puget Sound; Canyon Falls at Index; and the gorge below Snoqualmie Falls. Still, elevated city views depicting New Whatcom, Olympia, Fairhaven, Spokane, and Tacoma provide an important snapshot of the state's urban development at the time. A rare photographic record of Washington state at the turn of the 20th century, difficult to obtain in all twelve parts. SOLIDAY II:1069. Seller Inventory # WRCAM54379
