Awesome pics and engravings of the early US (1870's) in these 2 massive volumes! A must see publication, if you can fine a copy anywhere around! ( )

A classic, filled with high-quality engravings of towns and scenes across America, plus hundreds of illustrations, some of them full-page. The complete books are hard to find because so many of them have been disbound so the plates could be sold individually. Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 have different bindings and were purchased at different times. I also have many of the plates separately, from a box of engravings I purchased.

This is a beautiful book. Everyone who love historical books should take a look inside the pages of this geographic and pictorial history of the U.S. ( )
