Staplebound. Condición: Very good. Oblong thin folio. An unusually long panoramic viewbook, measuring about 14" x 4.5". 17 color panoramic illustrations of picturesque and historical locales along the mighty Mississippi River, with 12pp. of printed tissue leaves, two of which introduce the material, while the others contain captions and summaries of the panoramas. Side-stapled (apparently as issued), and with some creasing and short marginal tearing to front cover and a few leaves, but otherwise clean and sound, which is unusual for so fragile and ephemeral a publication; overall very good. There seems to be little consistency among the few known copies of this panorama. OCLC records just a few holdings, each of which offers a different number of panoramic views contained within. Note that only the copy held at the Minnesota Historical Society contains the same numebr of plates and text leaves; all other holdings note far fewer panoramas (8, 7, and 5). A scarce and wonderful example of souvenir color printing (done by "Manz Colortypes" of Chicago, who signed each panorama in print) around the turn of the century.
