Brian DiMambro- Antiquarian Books, Maps & Prints(Old Books, Early 20th Century Books, Americana, Ohio, Cleveland, Souvenir Album, Illustrated Books).
Glimpses of Greater Cleveland, Together with Some Old-Time Views.
Published 1903, Cleveland, Ohio by the Whitworth Brothers Company.
36 pages. Text in English.
A scarce ephemeral production for a location not often found promoted in this manner around this time.
Publisher's color lithographed heavy paper wrappers (oblong format) with silver reflective ink and art nouveau aesthetic design, interior printed in contrasting yellow sheets intermixed throughout.
Large booklet: item is physically old and shows various signs of handling and time. This is a 110+ year old pictorial booklet and does not look like new.
Binding a bit stained and age worn, small nibble loss along bottom edge of text block, numerous small careful pencil markings throughout indicating owner was familiar with the spot shown, small smudging to some pages, couple short closed edge tears, remains overall attractive as an object and is fun to look through. An unusual and interesting item which deserves closer examination.
Text block paper is gently toned, light to moderate scattered age spotting, internally still well preserved, tight, sound.
Still attractive on the shelf. Booklet displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this one-of-a kind antique item survives.
