Title page, leaf of text, & 16 Albertype [i.e. collotype] plates from photographs, some with multiple images. 13.5x18.5 cm (5¼x7¼"), original wrappers with bird's-eye view, ribbon tie.. Rare and captivating view book - One copy in Institutional Holdings at the State library of Florida.

Other photos include Hotels, Naval Yard, Overseas Rail Line and Bridges; Convent of Mary Immaculate; Light House; Sponge Market.
Background:
Key West was relatively isolated until 1912, when it was connected to the Florida mainland via the Overseas Railway extension of Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway (FEC). Key West prospered as trainloads of wealthy from the north would come to stay on Key West, at the exclusive resort Flagler had built.
Historically, these photos record Key West immediately after Flager brought a boom and before Key West experienced the severe Hurricane of 1919 on September 9. More than $2 million of damages were incurred by the category 4 hurricane.

Tipped in at rear end page is the author's original manuscript in black ink of his recording of the songs Doo Me Ama and The Female Smuggler, which is printed in facsimile in the book at page 4, where Finger states at bottom page 3 and top of p. 4 "Such notes as I made were made furtively, and as this book aims to set forth things correctly by way of showing how I made my notes in places where blank paper was scarce, here is a facsimile." And indeed, the music for those two songs was written on the back of a letter, (6' x 7 3/4" with ragged edges) dated 10 Mars.

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.

London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown, 1823. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. pp: [viii]ix-xii [1]2-544. FIRST EDITION. Bound in brown half-leather over marbled boards, title in gilt within a red title piece. The first edition of the author's first book. William Wilson (1772-1849) inherited a substantial sum from an uncle, and decided to indulge his passion for travel. He travelled throughout Europe and The Middle East and wrote a series of books. This was his first, and it was the most popular, going through several editions. This is a good copy as all plates, including the frontispiece, have been excised. The boards show moderate wear, heavier at the spine ends. The front hinge is cracked. The text block is mainly clean with a few marks of unknown origin.
