About This Item
Boston: A. A. Rothenberg & Co., 1895. First edition. Oblong folio (14 x 11 inches). 499, [9, index] pp. Photographic illustrations and portraits on every page. Publisher's padded pebble-grain brown morocco, gilt spine and cover lettering, fine gilt representation of a mounted Knight on front, floral endpapers, all edges gilt. Original plain two-part box (some repair). A fine copy of this lavish publication. Laid in the the August 27th special issue of the Boston Herald devoted to the Encampment (illustration on page one is in color). This was a massive meeting of 40,000 Knights Templar and it almost took over the city of Boston for a short period. In the New York Times of August 27th, we read - "Boston has seldom, if ever, been so elaborately decorated. Practically every building along the line of the march, besides many of the side streets, is clothed in color, with appropriate mottoes and Masonic emblems, intertwined with streamers and bunting." California participants arrived there in a special train.
