About this Item
Description:
Photographs; Oblong 4to 11" - 13" tall; 1893 Rand McNally. 1st edition. Oversize oblong format HC in publisher's maroon cloth; board edges beveled and pictorial title design to cover brightly stamped in gilt. Spine unlettered, as issued. As attractive and well preserved a copy as we have handled over the years. Soundly bound and clean with original floral endpages complete and intact. Light nicking and superficial rub-through to cloth at tips. Several small spots of color fade to the boards, perhaps the result of a drip spill or very isolated silverfish predation. Profusely illustrated with photo views of the White City, documenting the many architecturally significant structures, the birth of the "Midway, " the Ferris Wheel, and the overarching cohesion of design planning which made the 1893 Fair so important. Handsome copy of a notorioulsy fragile volume. VG++ . Oversize book may require additional charges for expedited or international shipping. Seller Inventory # 18683
