The Illustrated American.
Published 1892, New York.
Approx. 430, 280 pages. Text in English. Profusely illustrated throughout, many plates or images with tinted color ink.

Old plain cloth binding. First weekly issued dated June 11, 1892, last issue is Oct. 1, 1892. Fascinating range of topics, including current events of the time.

An assortment of approx 14 weekly issues (not consecutive, missing some between June & July with evidence of removal), all bound together long ago. Collation is very difficult due to changes of volumes, please understand it is a long interupted run of issues, most with great visual content.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Book is not new or in "new" condition.

Binding gently age worn with light scattered soiling, joints slightly scuffed,long thin slice down spine cloth, still sound as a book, remains overall attractive as an object.

Text block paper is gently toned, apparently some issues removed near front between June & July, assorted short edge tears throughout, signs of handling and browsing, internally still well preserved, mostly clean, tight, sound.

Book 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 antique book survives.
