Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Here is the "Catalogue of Works of Portraits and Other Works of Art to be Found in Independence Hall, Philadelphia". Quite scarce, this small paperback catalogue was issued in 1915, with the copyright being registered to Wilfred Jordan and Carl Magee Kneass. Any photographs in the book were taken by Ph. B. Wallace. There is no place of publication given, nor is there a publisher. Lacking that one must presume the gentlemen who took out the copyright took on the task of writing the book, and the place of publication falls by failure of any such designation to Philadelphia. The book was published under the aegis of The Descendants of the Signers of "The Declaration of Independence". The printer was the Press of George H. Buchanan Company, Philadelphia. The rear cover has a picture, printed in blue, of a medal given out by The Descendants of the Signers of "The Declaration of Independence" TITLE : Catalogue of the Portraits and Other Works of Art: Independence Hall, Philadelphia, with a Short Historical Sketch of the Buildings Comprising the State House Row / also: "The James Sharpless Collection of Portraits in Pastel" AUTHOR : Not Credited [ but, likely : Wilfred Jordan (1874 - 1959), & Carl Magee Kneass (1860 - 1947) ] Jordan was Curator of Independence Hall.

CONDITION -- GOOD PLUS -- This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable, with the following particulars noted : EXTERIOR -- The paper used for the cover is somewhat brittle. Cover displays various effects of handling (a bit of smudging, some spotting , etc. - the rear cover has a couple of spots which are of a rust color (one looks like it could have been from a paperclip, but there is no clip impression; corner tips display small loss; cover edges have various small nicks and tears; spine extremities display a touch of abrasion, with just a bit of paper loss (hardly egregious).
