Hill's Album of Biography and Art: Containing Portraits and Pen-Sketches of Many Persons Who Have Been and are Prominent as Religionists, Military Heroes, Inventors. . .

By: Hill, Thomas E.

Price: $45.00

Publisher: Chicago, Hill Standard Book Company : 1886

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Very Good

4to. 587 pp + 6 pp pub ad. 8 full page chromolithographic plates, each 11 by 8.5 inches. Principal title of this book is somewhat misleading because it is much more of a single volume encyclopedia or atlas with substantial pieces on home decoration, farm animals (chickens, horses, etc.). Treats animal cruelty, which would mark it as a real pioneer. This is a substantial specimen of Victoriana and Americana, and one can dip into time and again with enjoyment. Leather of binding has considerable rubbing, esp. in corner tabs. Slight looseness to FFEP. Otherwise, tight and clean copy.
