Offered here is an authentic 1880 antique copy of America Illustrated, edited by J. David Williams and published by The Arundel Print, New York.
The book contains a clearly printed Copyright 1880 notice, making this approximately 146 years old.
This impressive large-format Victorian-era volume is filled with detailed 19th-century engravings and descriptions of famous American scenery, landmarks, waterways, cities and natural wonders, including Yellowstone, Yosemite, Niagara Falls, Mammoth Cave, the Mississippi River, Hudson River, Great Lakes, White Mountains, Lake George and many more.
Condition is very rough and should be considered a restoration, reference, display, or engraving copy. The text block/pages have pulled substantially away from the binding, the spine covering is torn and separating, and the exterior has heavy wear. Pages show age toning, foxing, spotting and staining. Please examine all photographs closely for the exact condition.
Despite the binding damage, the book retains many beautiful period engravings and remains a fascinating 1880 piece of American history and Victorian-era publishing.
