Author: (NIAGARA FALLS)
Title: Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Description: Portland, ME, Chisholm Bros, n.y. Hardcover. 24mo. Burgundy blind-embossed paper over boards binding with gilt lettering housing 14-page (rectos only) accordion-style foldout. Numerous illustrations. Very good. Binding typically a bit edgeworn, though front board gilt bright and internally tight and near fine. Issued in various formats and sizes, sometimes accompanying a printed text, as "Chas. Frey's Original Souvenir Albums," this grouping of 32 superior glossy sepia-tone lithographs on 14 connected pages ranges from full-page images such as "Horse Shoe Fall from Goat Island" and "American Fall from Goat Island" to half-page images such as "Crossing Niagara on a Tight Rope and Maid of the Mist" and "The New Suspension Bridge" to third-page images such as "Indian Family" and "Bird's Eye View of Horseshoe Fall" to quarter-page images such as "Sister Island" and "Rapids from Third Sister Island." Undated, but likely late turn-of-the-century. An exceptional and complete grouping. .
