The product is a two-volume set titled "Picturesque America" authored by William Cullen Bryant and published by D. Appleton & Company in 1872 and 1874.

This first edition set provides a comprehensive visual journey through North America, making it a valuable addition to any collection of art and photography literature.
This set has covers in rough condition. The covers are detached and the spines are missing.
The first few pages of Volume 1 are separated but all pages appear to be present. There is a wonderful engraving of Niagara Falls as the frontispiece. The frontispiece of Volume II is detached but present. The rest of Volume II is all attached.
Although the covers are not in good condition, the interior of both volumes are in good condition.
There are many full page illustrations and many illustrations included in the text.
Quite an interesting and beautiful book.
