About this Item

Octavo. 14, [2] pp., illus. Limited edition, one of 350 copies. As issued, in stiff, printed wrappers; partially unopened copy. Only light toning and rubbing to the wrappers, else quite clean and bright. This keepsake reprints the 1854 pamphlet title: "Description of the Great Tree, Recently Felled upon the Sierra Nevada, California, Now Place for Public Exhibition, in the Spacious Racket Court of the Union Club, No. 596 Broadway, Adjoining the Metropolitan Hotel, New-York." A wonderful (if horrifying in its gratuitous felling) illustration has exhibition information and prices, touting the description of the 3000 year-old tree with a 90' circumference. Some have cited this gratuitous destruction as among of the catalysts of the early environmental movement.
