New York: Grolier Club, 1915. Good.. xxi,120,[1]pp. Small folio. Original blue boards with linen spine, gilt leather label. Spine worn, label chipped, moderately dampstained. Light wear to boards and corners. Mostly clean internally, with some light foxing to gutter of first few leaves and some very faint dampstaining to edges of last few leaves. One of 250 copies printed on French handmade paper. A lovely fine press work celebrating New York City at the beginning of the 20th century, with thirty beautiful xylographic illustrations throughout, printed in multiple colors. Though the binding is a bit worse for wear, the contents are clean and the quality of the illustrations and printing is undiminished. An affordable copy of this work.
