Order Nr. 138420

Exhibition catalogue. Designed by Jerry Kelly. A fine copy.

Fully illustrated in color. Wrappers. New. The most comprehensive illustrated catalogue to date of pre-1900 views of New Jersey. One hundred and nineteen paintings, drawings, and separately issued prints of New Jersey, each of which is illustrated in color and described in considerable detail. Included are eighteenth-century English aquatints and engravings, early nineteenth-century watercolors, mid-nineteenth-century lithographs by Currier & Ives and others, and late nineteenth-century birdseye views, all depicting identifiable New Jersey scenes. From Sussex County to Cape May County and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Delaware River, the catalogue includes views from every county in New Jersey. An exhaustive index concludes the text and makes the catalogue one of the most important reference sources for the pre-1900 iconography of New Jersey. From the reference library of Philadelphia Rare Books & Manuscripts with their bookplate included.
