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 antique prints on each side of the page. On one side there are four photos that are views of the USS Maine's crew off duty: one of the Firemen & Coal Passers, one of gunners standing on deck; one of men enjoying "Evening Amusements" which is playing cards, and one of gunners by their torpedo tube (please note that there are other photos from the USS Maine in items #1009, 1010, 1011 and 1012). On the other side of the page is a drawing of "Havana Harbor and the Maine Anchorage".
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!"). There is a paragraph describing the pictures at the bottom of each page.
Excellent condition black & white photographs, on full page measuring about 13 inches wide x 11 inches high. No major bending or yellowing. There is some slight browning at the edges of the page with the four photos with much more pronounced/darker browning/dirt/smudging on the right edge of the Havana Harbor page and a dark dot in the picture on this page. There is some page edge and corner edge wear/tip tear in one corner/bending in another corner 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.
Relative to shipping, please note: While this is a book page/print, this item CAN NOT be shipped via U.S.P.S. Media Mail per the post office. Please do not select this shipping option because we will have to contact you and change the shipping to something else, increasing your postage cost. The cheapest option for shipping this within the U.S. is via U.S.P.S. Parcel Post. Also, if you are interested in more than one of these 1898 Naval Ship Prints, please contact us before placing the order. The shipping information has been inputted for a purchase of just one and will not calculate the savings you would get when purchasing more than one shipped together in the same package (we will need to handle this for you).
