About this Item

RARE - only 1 OCLC location.

Hussey; drawings by Henry Rusk." From that printing there were overruns of drawings of the ship's plans which were used for this keepsake for the Friends of the Kemble Collections " Those overruns were limited to 100 sheets, so that indicates the maximum number of keepsakes that could have been printed.
