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 a scene at the League Island Navy Yard (located in Philadelphia, PA) with the Receiving Ship Richmond, with the other an overall photo of League Island Navy Yard (please note that there is also a view of this navy yard in item #1274).
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!"). No copyright dates appear on the book pages. There is a paragraph describing each ship under it's picture.
Excellent condition black & white photographs, on full page measuring about 13 inches wide x 11 inches high. No tears or yellowing. There is an obvious bend in the white border area in one corner and another lesser one in the opposite corner, other very minor page or corner edge wear and expected handling wear for a book page (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.
