Item description from seller

Illustrated with 16 dry points by Boyer. Light shelf wear an light soiling to the covers; previous owner's inscription inside. Marvelous history of Old New York City and The Church of the Transfiguration, also known as the Little Church Around the Corner, an Episcopal parish church located on East 29th Street, between Madison and Fifth Avenues in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The church has been a leader of the Anglo-Catholic movement within the Episcopal Church from its founding while stressing service to the poor and oppressed from its earliest days. In 1863, during the Civil War Draft Riots, the church gave sanctuary to African Americans who were under attack, filling up the church's sanctuary, schoolroom, library and vestry.
