I did not take pics of every page. In GOOD CONDITION. There are age marks and general light staining on some page but overall I would rate them pretty good for their age over a hundred years old. See pics for anything that could be an issue. Zoom in. These are from the very early 1900\'s so there may be some condition issues. Pretty common for something of this age. No rips or tears that I\'ve seen. Extremely RARE in this shape. Don\'t miss out on this amazing offer. There is so much history and amazing photography from the very early days of America. Amazing stuff. Don\'t miss out on this EXCELLENT deal. Very rare and hard to find. About $4 a booklet for this rich history. It\'s really priceless as there were not a lot made and even fewer survived. Especially with the soft covers.
The most magnificent illustrated work ever produced in this country.
The publication of this remarkable work marks a new era in the art of presenting the beauty and grandeur of nature in America to the view of man. This superb work had been in active preparation for several years, and the artist had traveled thousands of miles and expended thousands of dollars, but the publishers have their reward in the assurance that the scenes depicted with unerringly fidelity to nature as she really is.
An Idea of the scope of the work is gained when it is mentioned that Yellowstone Park, The Hudson River, Southern California, The Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, Lake George, On the banks of the Wabash, Picturesque Wisconsin, The Great Smoky Mountains, The Upper Mississippi and Michigan\'s Lakes and Rivers are only a few of the treasure trove of scenery that have been made to yield their opulence to the on-looker.
The enterprise is a large one. FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS would not cover the cost of this work, but the publishers are convinced of the truth of the claim made for it, that no publication of the kind has ever been attempted before in this country by the process employed, on a scale so large and a design so liberal, with results so magnificent.
It is safe to assert that \"America: Her Grandeur and Beauty\" is a monument worthy of the genius and reputation of the American people, and that it forms a permanent contribution to the treasures of mankind.
