Item description from seller

Folio. (13 4/8 x 9 6/8 inches). 24 lithographed plates, including four panoramic views (some browning some minor spotting). Original maroon cloth, maroon morocco lettering-piece in the centre of the front cover (rebacked at an early stage preserving most of the original spine); modern red cloth clamshell box. Provenance: With the engraved bookplate of Joseph Y Jeanes of Philadelphia on the front paste-down. First collected edition, later issue with Bowen imprint rather than Chevalier, originally published in parts: "Wild broke wholly new ground in American prints. Single views of cities from a distant vantage point were usual, but showing a whole city as it appeared in facing each point of the compass from a central spot was an innovation" (Snyder). The first four plates compose the panorama of Philadelphia as viewed from just above the rooftops. Other views include: Fairmount from the Basin, View from the Inclined Plane, Market Street, Manayunk, and Laurel Hill Cemetary. Howes W410 "c"; Sabin 103971; Snyder, "J. C. Wild and His Philadelphia Views" in PMHB vol. 77, no. 1; Wainwright 264-267. 6.4B.3E.…
