A Practical Guide to American Nineteenth Century Color Plate Books
|
Antique reference books on Cartography are especially hard to find, and ASI is proud to offer some of these rare books.
"...the motive behind the compilation of this Practical Guide to American 19th Century Color Plate Books...has been the hope of inducing more Americans and American Institutions to purchase more varieties and larger quantities of rare American books to the exclusion, or partial exclusion, of the tomes of European semi-rarities which English and European dealers foist upon us annually...thousands of American books bearing directly on the exploration, development and aesthetic elements of America and American life remain virtually unknown..."
