Purchased by Bernard Conwell Carlity from Beale's estate and sold to Frank J. Piehl on June 25, 1973." Folding map as frontispiece. Cuts throughout. 8vo. 10-5/8" x 7-3/8" Superb post-fire boosterism for the city. Many of the woodcuts promote the famous Palmer House, billed as the "Only fire-proof Hotel in the United States." [NB. The back side of the folding map depicts the 3rd Palmer House]. Many other interesting features of the city are highlighted herein, I especially found fascinating the full page wood engraving showing "The Large Engine at the Water Works." [p. 30].
