RARE 1871-1896 HARVARD GRADUATES PORTRAITS

A rare and intruiging 1896 album which presents then and now portraits of the graduating class at Harvard in 1871. This is a very beautiful copy bound in 3/4 original gilt leather and cloth. Marbled endpapers and very nice condition save for the title page which is fixed. Otherwise this is a very good and attractive copy. The changes in the physical appearance of the graduates over 25 years is indeed fascinating!  About 12 by 8 inches and 3 inches thick with over 100 unnumbered pages. Due to weight this will be sent media mail (unless by prior arrangement and agreement with the extra postage cost) so please do allow for extra shipping time
