Sobre este artículo
Albany: C. Van Benthuysen, 1857. Hardcover. NB, this is the "Drawings" part of the commission report, not the report itself. Hardbound in 9.5x5.5 diced brown cloth boards, lettered gilt and panelled in blind, this casing very worn with the cloth lifting away in small areas. Front hinge is still sound but the cover feels at risk with a half-inch chip at the head; rear hinge is strong and clean with two clean blanks. Text consists of numerous line-engraved plates, all of them folding out laterally except for a couple of singleton leaves with presswork on tawny tint-blocks, and the further exception of two folded maps, only one of which is truly large, i.e. the "State of New York"; this latter map is onlaid with three colors that show rail lines that are completed, ones under construction, and those proposed. Several locomotive-types are shown. The "drawings" appear very good, with only a few tiny marginal tears and faint general toning. The casing could probably be restored. A very good set of plates, complete.
