About This Item
New York: D. T. Valentine, 1863. Decorative Boards. Very Good. The 1863 issue of D.T. Valentine's epic 19th century manual of New York City. Tight and VG to VG+ in its navy-blue cloth, with lavish blindstamping and gilt-design and titling to the panels. Dozens of fold-out maps, charts and crests throughout, a number of them in chromolithography. A gennereous amount of engravings as well, all designed to give a deep visual sense of a city which by the mid 19th century was already teeming with life and commerce. Very thick 12mo, over 860 pgs. of text.
