About This Item
Hartford, CT: Elihu Geer, 1850. Decorative Boards. Very Good. A tight, well-preserved copy of the May 1950 Hartford city directory. Solid and VG in its decorative red cloth, with lavish blindstamping and gilt-titling along the panels. A bit of soiling to the front panel, light wear at the tips. Former owner bookplate mostly removed from the blank frontispiece. 64mo, 215 pgs. plus local ads at the rear. (Continuing from the title page: "Containing Every Kind of Information Valuable for Reference to Strangers and Citizens, with an Engraved Copperplate Map of the City; Also, Engravings of the New Railroad Station in Hartford, and All the Railroad Routes in Connecticut, Which Have Been Drawn and Engraved Expressly for This Directory".).
