The Albertype Co., headquartered in Brooklyn, N.Y., produced postcards and other printed materials from 1890 until 1952. The company utilized a specific photomechanical process invented by Joseph Albert in Australia in the late 1860s, which was an improvement on the collotype photographic process. The company had teams of photographers who traveled across the United States taking and buying images depicting people, places, and activities in all parts of the country. A majority of the images were published as postcards and marketed to be sold in the locales depicted in the images. The book is in good condition with light shelf wear. Rubbing to spine. No previous ownership signatures. Hinges strong and intact. Interior clean and tight. Salmon cloth/no text on spine. Size: 8vo OBLONG. Hardcover.
