MARINE ALBUM

E T Hazeltine. Warren, Pa. No date (Circa 1890)., 1890 String tied white wraps with front and rear cover chromolithograph illustrations of ships. Front cover brown lettering in the form of a rope. 20 pages including covers. Oblong 8vo. Book consists of 10 leaves with a chromolithograph illustration of a boat on one side and either a boat or advertising in sepia on the reverse. Format is to have an illustration of a boat in sepia with numbers on each part of the boat corresponding to explanations at the bottom of the page; this facing a color plate of the same boat. Quite complex when describing the Bark with some 42 named parts and the Brig with 63 named parts (Mostly different sails and sail parts). Boats included are: Sloop Yacht; Ocean Steamer; Bark; Long Island Sound Steamer; Schooner Yacht; Brig; Mississippi River Steamboat; Three Masted Schooner. The last two pages of the book are advertisements for PISO's Cure for Consumption and PISO's Remedy for Catarrh. The book was presumably an advertising give-away, perhaps to the merchant who carried the product. It is too expensive an item to be given to the general public. Light general wear; small crease at the rear cover corner top; few small dents to the front cover. A bright clean lovely copy of a very scarce item.
