About this Item

Tall 8vo. 84 pages of text printed on one side only. Illustrated with 38 plates printed in color. (The plates are not figured in the pagination.) Plate of the Old State House printed in Helio-Chrome by Heliotype Printing Co., Boston. There is an additional title page at page 42: "Homes of Our Forefathers in Boston, New England.", same date. Bound in green cloth over beveled boards with gilt titles on upper cover. "Various photographic mediums were increasingly used in color book illustration from the mid-1880s. Whitefield illustrated most of his books on colonial New England with chromolithographs, but in this publication he included a new process invented by the Heliotype Printing Company of Boston, printed color on top of a photographic image. The plate has an oddly three-dimensional quality." Reese. Nineteenth Century American Color Plate Books. No. 109. Bennett p. 112. Seller Inventory # 16286
