Cover also has a number at the bottom: 193.This could almost be a simple image reference for modes of transportation in that period.Fair condition. Front cover has corner creases and some edge/corner wear. Paper is age tanned. I did also note a couple of small (1-2 inches or less) closed tears.

Lots of information, great photographs, historical ads, brochures, and black & white illustrations.Book - Fair condition.
