Circa: 1898
Manufacturer: New York Monthly Company, New York
Original book page which appears to have photos, from "The Battle with Spain", published by New York Monthly Company, New York in 1898. Not a reproduction, but page from an antique issue of this book (we guarantee this), with an antique print on each side of the page; on one side it's the launching of the two ships Kentucky and Kearsarge, with the other a view of the Kearsarge afloat.
The book showed pictures of naval vessels, navy ships, battleships, cruisers, gunboats, etc., which were part of the U.S. Navy at the time of the war with Spain (or the Spanish American war, the one with "Remember the Maine!"). While no dates appear on the book pages, below the picture of the Kentucky and Kearsarge it states, "Copyrighted 1898, by William H. Rau. There is a paragraph describing the ships under the pictures.
Excellent condition black & white photographs, on full page measuring about 13 inches wide x 11 inches high. No tears, major bending, or yellowing. There is very minor page edge wear and expected handling wear for a book page (no large creases, but the little within-the-page handling bumps or small creases that you see from a page being handled or turned within a book; we judge that this would not be noticeable framed). There is also the expected uneven edge where the page was taken from the book.
The book covers were in very bad shape, so we removed the good pages and are selling them separately. A terrific piece to add to a collection related to the Spanish American War, the 1898 War, or a collection relating in general to the U.S. Navy or US Navy Vessels, Ships, Battleships, Warships, etc.
