Description:
Thomasville, GA: A. L. Fabyan & Co, 1876. Apparently the first promotional for the hotel, issued shortly before it opened in 1876. Title page and two pages of text, a flowery description of the hotel, its setting, and amenities, signed in type by the proprietor. Not located on OCLC (which does record several promotionals for the hotel issued in the 1880s and 1890s). Original printed gray wrappers, illustrated from a cut of the hotel. Very good.
