Elaborate presentation binding ordered by the City of New York, bound by Wilson & Nichols, contemporary straight-grained bright crimson morocco, covers with broad elaborately gilt borders, upper cover gilt-lettered "Presented by the City of New York to Miss Rachel Ann Robertson, Jany. 1st 1827," spine with raised bands in six compartments, third and fifth gilt lettered, others with repeat overall decoration in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges gilt; slight rubbing to extremities, minor soiling. [With:] An original silk ribbon badge by Asher B.

(64F20E) A SUMPTUOUS SOUVENIR FROM THE OPENING OF THE ERIE CANAL IN A SPLENDID PRESENTATION BINDING. Though initially deemed "Clinton's Folly" when first proposed by Governor Dewitt Clinton, the Erie Canal "proved to be the key that unlocked an enormous series of social and economic changes in the young nation." The present work is one of the first books published in the U.S. to be extensively illustrated by lithography, and is the first book to contain an illustration by George Catlin. Rachel Ann Robertson, the 20-year-old daughter of artist Archibald Robertson, executed the plate facing page 380 from "The Students of Colombia College," "by a young Lady"; a letter laid into the text acknowledges her contribution to the celebratory volume. Other plates include views of the New York harbor crowded with shipping, maps of the waterways in the United States and New York State, badges and emblems of the societies of saddlers, house painters, chair-makers, rope-makers, and a series of fire engines.
