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 1/4 x 9 3/4 inches. This page has a picture on one side with book copy/words on the other side. The picture is labelled at the bottom, "A White Mountain Glen". We believe this to be referring to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It is a black and white line drawing (not a photograph, no color on page), showing a very pretty, serene scene of a brook flowing through rocks into a larger stream or river. We have provided an image of the book page picture, as best we could show it.
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, with two of the corners worn/clipped/torn at the points, but nothing to worry about here. At least one page edge has been trimmed where it was removed from the book.
