Washington DC: GPO, 1915. Hardcover. x, 519p., illustrated with a fold-out "Index to Charts referred to in this book," a sort of map of maps (hydrographic maps available from government sources, none reproduced here) - and provided with perforated coupons that entitle bearer to free paperwork (all coupons present and untouched), a massive hardbound item that is ex library. Front hinge is cracked; rear hinge appears to have had the adjacent free blank clumsily adhered to rear pastedown, whether to strengthen the hinge (it is sound enough) or to disguise library impedimentia. A somewhat ugly copy, but handleable and complete, shall we say "fair to good" (good-only). Hydrographic Office, no. 126.

Description:
unknown: unknown, unknown. Paperback. Large oblong, 10.5x15 inches, string-fastened in traditional manner, covering nineteen numbered b&w plates printed recto only (versos blank), the terminal plate copied color to show stamp impressions in red. Edgeworn with marginal tears ( the largest inch-long). No English-language helps other than bare titles. Find lots of representations of snow, along with the mountains & rivers. Image no. 6 is labeled "The Hermit" but no human appears in the plate. Go figure. As is. Unimpressive reproductions, but were the publishing history known (we suspect 1930s origin), item might be interesting.
