New York / San Francisco: J. Dewing Publishing Company, 1888. Folio. Folio. Several parts, each consisting of the original printed wraps and sequential pages, with photogravures, etchings and text illustrations, tissue guards present. All housed in a black canvas folio with gilt lettering on front. Oversize and heavy. Will require extra postage. Good+, some dampstaining here and there, smudging, overall nice. Item #119695
This item consists of the following, all house in a publishers cloth portfolio: Parts 9-18. Part 19 states that "In this number begins Picturesque Colorado, by Ernest Ingersoll" (but the pagination continues as before) and there is a difference to the text contained on the outer wraps. It is followed by parts 20-22, and ends with page 352. Therefore, appears to contain about 1/3 of the set, perhaps represnting the middle volume of the three bound volumes some booksellers advertise. Regardless, a very nice representation with some foxing and smudging to some page edges and plates, but only very rarely of significance. All the parts appear to be complete.
