Samuel Knapp, 1835
KNAPP, Samuel Lorenzo (1783-1838). The Picturesque Beauties of the Hudson River and its Vicinity. New York: J. Distunell, 1835.
Part one of the first edition of a scarce plate book of the beautiful Hudson Valley. Only two parts were ever printed; a slip present here apologizes for a delay in the first part, "owing to an accident with one of the plates." According to Sabin, the panic of 1857 derailed the project. Sabin 33520.
Quarto (348 x 270mm). "To Subscribers" slip. Engraved title with vignette and 3 engraved plates (engraved title browned, some foxing to other plates). Original printed wrappers (rebacked and stained). Custom box. Provenance: M.A. Jones (signature on wrapper).
