Description: Tacoma, Rainier National Park Co, n.y. Hardcover. Wide small 4to. Heavy tan wrappers with green lettering, string-tied with heavy cord. (25pp). 12 heavy stock "Hand-Colored" (according to front wrapper) tipped-in plates. Very good. Wrappers a bit edgeworn and tanned, front wrapper with tiny chip at upper right corner and inoffensive stain at lower right -- but internally tight and fine, with all tipped-in images pristine and bold. Attractive copy of this charming color photo gathering, all tipped to rectos. Titles, in order: "Where the Flowers and the Glaciers Meet," "Fairy Lake," "Mother of the Snows," "Mirror Lake," "The Lone Pine Vista," "Paradise Valley," "Paradise Inn Snowbound," "Winter," "Wealth of Alpine Flowers," "Ice Caves, Paradise Glacier," "An Alpine Glade, Paradise Valley" and "Huskies and the Tatoosh." Introductory text page touts tourist-y statistics to entice visitors, closing with "This Great National Playground is Yours -- Come and Use it." Undated, but likely 1930s vintage. .
