Representative Citizens of Connecticut Biographical Memorial, ed. by Samuel Hart.
Published 1916, New York by the American Historical Society.
531 pages. Text in English. Illustrated with many nicely printed full page portrait plates on heavy paper, all with tissue guards.

Seems to be a very scarce book, likely due to the small print number and very high retail cost when it was produced.

Monumental library plain cloth binding, gilt title lettering, gilt bands, deckled edges, profusion of plates.

Binding remains clean, tight, and sound. Minimally ex-libris

Text block remains overall clean, and displays a pleasing age patina, foreword leaf with 3" tear and wrinkle at top edge.

Book remains well preserved and attractive on the shelf. It displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, the age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this antique item survives.

A monumental heavy book, close to 15 pounds in a box for shipping (!).

Book Measures c. 12 1/2" H x 10" W.
