About This Item
Kansas City, MO: Fred Harvey, 1904. Pamphlet. Third edition, dated from the sole dated photo. Glazed alkaline paperstock throughout, oversize pamphlet in oblong 10.5x13 inch greygreen wraps titled in dark green and fastened with both saddle-stitched staples and a decorative purple cord. The huge centerfold of the Grand Canyon reveals that staples and cord are in place and holding well. There is a bump to the head affecting both covers and entire text, about two inches in extent at front cover joint, much less noticible further along, but a good copy (even the cord is undamaged, and cords are often the first to go). Find a number of portraits that seem to demonstrate friendly acquaintance between the Hopi and our camera-bug. OCLC gives a date of 1904 for the second edition and 1905 for the fourth edition. Fred Harvey was the founder of a chain of restaurants and hotels catering to railroad passengers throughout the Southwest and a promoter of tourism to the area.
