Circa: 1885 Manufacturer: R. Worthington Publishers
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. The picture is labelled at the bottom, "Pinnacles of the Pallisades". The book print spells "Pallisades" with 2 "Ls" rather than the more normally used today "Palisades" with 1 L. While the Palisades stretch from New Jersey into New York, we believe this view is from the New York portion based on the book copy on the backside page (interestingly, the book copy refers to the Palisades using the one "L" spelling rather than that used under the picture). This is a black and white line drawing (not a photograph, no color on page), showing some of the majestic rocks of the Palisades in New York, with an accompanying view of the Hudson River with many boats sailing on the waterway. We have provided two images of the book page picture. Please note that the page is not "brown" as it seems to appear in the close-up picture. 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 perhaps very minor page wear as expected, but nothing to worry about here. At least one page edge has been trimmed where it was removed from the book.
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. First Class Mail Package rate. Also, if you are interested in more than one of these book page 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). |
