About This Item

N.p.: N.p., n.y.. Broadside. 4to (9½" X 12"). Illustration. Very good. Faint original folds (none weakened); tiny inoffensive stain at lower left (not touching text). Interesting if bibliographically cryptic handbill with title in four lines in a variety of large typefaces. At center is a graphic depicting a cutaway view of a small brick structure (labeled "Tank House") with pipe leading underground into the basement of a two-story commercial structure, where it connects to a gizmo labeled "Carburetter" [sic]; one pipe labeled "Air Pipe" leaves this device and ends outside above ground, while another pipe heads directly up the center of the structure, connecting to two wall sconces and two chandeliers. Although not dated, the paper, typefaces and graphic all suggest late 19th century vintage. Quite attractive and displayable.
