Neat original book illustration from 1885 edition of Picturesque Tours in America, the Junior United Tourist Club, edited by the Rev. Edward T. Bromfield, published by R. Worthington, NY. The date does not appear on-page but was present on the book's title page from which this came and we guarantee the age and what this is. The book was not in good shape so the good pages/book prints were removed and are being sold individually. Please see our other listings for the other pages available.

Measures about 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches. This page has a picture on one side with book copy/words on the other side and a separate, smaller picture on that side. The main picture here is labelled at the bottom "Grand Canon" which is a view of the Grand Canyon in Colorado. On the reverse side is a smaller image which is also in Colorado and labelled, "Middle Park", which may be another view within the Grand Canyon, we're not sure. These are black and white line drawings (not a photograph, no color on page), showing mountain views, with the Grand Canyon view particularly majestic looking, showing the river flowing between rock formations. We have provided three images of the book page pictures, as best we could show them. Please note that the page is not "brown" as it seems to appear in the close-up pictures. Sometimes to get the close-up details to be better visible we had to turn off the camera light (as it created too many white "hot spots" on the page in close-up mode). This permitted seeing close-up details but makes the overall page look falsely brown due to insufficient lighting.

Excellent condition for age. Page has likely darkened over time, with some browning at outer edges. There is very minor page wear including some small onpage creasing and light smudging/spotting as expected, but nothing to worry about here. At least one page edge has been trimmed where it was removed from the book.
