Reminiscences of Newport ...Extra Illustrated. Edition B.

Mason, George Champlin · 1884 · Hammett, Charles E., Jr. · 56 pictures

George Champlin Mason's local history of Newport, Rhode Island, issued by Charles E. Hammett, Jr. in 1884 and here bound as an extra-illustrated copy for collectors, with original documents tipped onto its album leaves. The plates reproduce eighteenth-century receipts, promissory notes and letters in iron-gall script, each mounted within a ruled ink border on cream paper, giving designers period handwriting, merchant signatures, fold creases and water-stained paper textures.
