Two thousand miles on an automobile : being a desultory narrative of a trip through New England, New York, Canada, and the West

Eddy, Arthur Jerome, 1859-1920, Holloway, Edward Stratton, 1859-1939, binding designer · 1902 · Philadelphia ; London : J.B. Lippincott · 17 pictures

A first-person motoring travelogue by Chicago lawyer and collector Arthur Jerome Eddy, published by J. B. Lippincott in Philadelphia and London in 1902 for readers following the new sport of long-distance automobile touring. Pen-and-ink vignettes show early open cars stuck on dirt roads, crowds of onlookers in straw hats, farmhouses and telegraph poles, with hand-lettered captions set into the white page—useful for loose line-drawn figures, period vehicles and spot illustrations that sit without frames.
