‎New York: Adolph Wittemann 1884. Hardcover. Good. 3.25" x 5" oblong embossed red paper boards stamped in gilt. Internally clean and sound but lacking paper on the spine and spine covered in clear tape .Accordion-folded souvenir view book with 22 lithographed views on 18 panels as well as a separate five-panel insert at the rear advertising more than 100 souvenir albums sold by Wittemann Brothers that were made using Louis Glaser's process. According to Ron Tyler unpublished work on 19th century lithographs. Glaser used a "multi-stone lithographic process to achieve a monochromatic effect that seems to have been rare if not unknown among American lithographers. Using five or more stones they laid down a series of separate shades ranging from white to light sepia-grey to the darkest sepia-grey or black. The finished lithograph has a varnished look that creates greater illusion of depth than a simple lithograph or toned lithograph." Views include a two-panel panorama of the suspension bridge over the Mississippi St. Anthony Falls Washburn's Flouring Mills Nicollet Ave City Hall Boston Block Washington Ave Syndicate Block State University railroad depoot schools several churches and a synagogue Minnehaha Falls in summer and winter.

‎Anson George 1697 1762‎

‎A Voyage round the World in the Years MCXL I II III IV‎

‎24548 pages with three folding engraved maps present southern part of South America; part of the Pacific Ocean and the track of the Centurion round the world. Octavo 8 1/4" x 5 1/2" bound in full leather with five raised spine bands with red label to spine in gilt lettering with decorative blind-stamped ruled edges. Compiled from papers and other materials of the Right Honourable George Lord Anson and published under his direction by Richard Walter M.A. Chaplain of his Majesty's Ship the Centurion in that expedition. Hill I pp 317-138. Third edition.<br /><br />"This is the official account of Anson's voyage. England at war with Spain in 1739 equipped eight ships under the command of George Anson to harass the Spaniards on the western coast of South America for the purpose of cutting off Spanish supplies of wealth from the Pacific area. Lord Anson who was a friend and patron of Benjamin Robins after returning from the voyage around the world in the Centurion appears to have entrusted to Robins for revision the account of the voyage which had been compiled from the journals by his chaplain Richard Walter. It is probable that Robins revised and edited the work wrote an introduction and added dissertations." Hill. Perhaps the most popular account of maritime adventure of the eighteenth century. Anson's account of harrying the Spanish of South America and the taking of the Manilla galleon with treasure with a contemporary value of $800000 and his circumnavigation has long enjoyed a distinguished place as a masterpiece in descriptive travel.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Some small closed tears at the edges of the maps. Rebound in tooled leather with raised bands. Over all a very good to fine copy. John and Paul Knapton hardcover books‎
