Found on the Internet:

Photographic views were reproduced by a process using a series of stones laid down with separate shades of oil-based inks ranging from white to light sepia-grey to the darkest sepia-grey or black. The finished image has a varnished look, contributing to the illusion of depth not found in lithographs. The 12-Panel accordion fold-out, was tipped-in to the verso of the front cover.

We have always loved the thrill of the hunt--the accidental discovery. This is genuine SERENDIPITY. The books we sell are from our personal collection that we have acquired over the years. Finding great items from different eras is a passion of ours and selling them to others who will enjoy them as much as we do is our goal. ~ Viola and Fred

We are often disappointed at a listing that only has a few pictures, so I took loads of pictures for you to study and explore.  

We are pleased to offer this rare item for sale. 

Thank you for looking!
