About This Item
New York : Pratt, Robinson, and Co., 1838 Bound in blue cloth with paper spine label, an exceptionally rare copy of a rare emigrant guide in that this has its original blue stiff wrap covers, titled "Sketches of the Upper Wabash Valley" bound in. The original map with its hand colored outlines and published by Augustus Mitchell is present and in fine condition. It does have a small closed tear near where it is attached to the book. The two plates are sharp and clean with the Page's Banking and Ditching machine with a few light fox spots. Light foxing to the end papers. Blue hardcover binding unevenly faded with its paper spine label chipped. An exceptional copy, especially with its original covers. This must be a larger version of this guide as the leaf measures 8 13/16" while another copy I have measures 7 3/4". In hardcover binding this copy measures 9 1/16". Truly a rare item with the last copy to sell at auction was in 1999.
