Añadir al carrito3/4 Leather & Marbled Paper Bd. Condición: Very Good to Fine. We have here the original printing of this scarce and highly-prized early Maine educational Journal. Edited and published by the then Superintendant of Common Schools Mark H. Dunnell. All are bound in period light brown calf and marbled paper boards (Hardcover.) A small black title label adorns the rather plain spine, along with a few gilt rules, about VG condition. It is bound with plain end papers which have 2 owner signatures in the front and one in the rear. The index to volume I is bound after the title page. All of the first 12 issues are present and in near-Fine to Fine (NF-F) condition with none of the usual foxing as is often seen in very old paper. Quite scarce, with only 4 (possible) examples at institutions in the US (according to worldcat) and no examples, other than reprints, anywhere for sale. NOTE: Educational and/or Historical institutions will naturally receive preferential treatment for ordering purposes.

Published by the Canadian Pacific Railway Co., Department of Colonization, as part of their efforts to recruit farmers and settlers in Western Canada in the early part of the 20th century. Comprises of twenty-one sepia-tone captioned photographs each capturing in remarkable detail various agricultural scenes throughout the Canadian Prairies. One (barely perceptible) short closed tear to the front cover, else, near fine; contents uniformly without blemish with bright, clean, and unmarked leaves. Overall, near fine. Corresponds to Peel 2198, which states a possible publication date of 1895 though this is likely too early. See also OCLC #464429637. Rare in commerce. These scenes are actual photographs, and tell more emphatically than any words, the story of successful agricultural production in Western Canada. They argue convincingly that you, too, can find prosperity and happiness on these low-priced fertile lands.
