RARE 1830 Book WONDERS Some Most Remarkable Nature Art Samuel Bayley Boston NR
Very RARE Hand Colored Book published in 1830
"WONDERS: Descriptive of Some of the Most Remarkable of Nature Art"
Published in 1830 by Samuel K Bayley at 60 Washington Street in Boston, Massachusetts. Bayley was only at 60 Washington Street for less than one year.
It is hand colored and has on the title page Colossus at Rhodes, then Giant's Causeway, Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre, Ice Mountains, Palace and Statue of Memnon, Fingals Cave, Popeys Pillar and Cleopatras Needle, Grotto of Antiparos, Pyramids and Sphinx, Mausoleum of Hyder Ali, Great Wall of China, Stonehenge.
The backsides of the pages are all blank, I presume so that the color from handpainting did not bleed through.
It measures 7" inches tall and 4.25" inches wide.
It is in rough condition, and will need some TLC.
