Price: $12,000.00
Hardcover. First edition. Oblong small folio. Quarter white cloth decorated and titled in silver, and silk cloth decorated in red and gold. Printed title page plus 10 Japan-tissue photogravures each tack-glued at the corners onto a larger page, and printed by Edward Edwards’ New York Photo-Gravure Company. Very good with rubbing on the boards, light corner wear and dampstaining on the spine, but with the interior images fine. A group of 10 hand-pulled photogravures, including one of the earliest known published works by American photographer Alfred Stieglitz: "After the Rain," which is, ironically for this American view book, a study done in 1886 in Mittenwald, Germany. All of the other images are believed to be from New York State. A rare volume, *OCLC* locates eight copies.
