PIKES PEAK Railway 1893 Folding Souvenir Photos Antique - Miniature Album - Rare

Description: An extraordinary Treasure that you don’t see very often.Scarce early original vintage souvenir book entitled MANITOU AND VICINITY PIKE’S PEAK RAILWAY with many views of Springs, Rocks Formations, Trains, Colorado Springs, Mountain Scenery. This is an ORIGINAL view album and NOT a copy or facsimile. This concertina (fan-folded) style album contain 12 panels with 34 captioned Black and White photolithographic images (original photographs printed through a lithographic process). Hard covers contain one long strip of pictures that accordions out to a length of 55 inches. These photographic views were reproduced by Louis Glaser’s process using a series of stones laid down with separate shades of oil-based inks ranging from white to light sepia-grey to the darkest sepia-grey or black. The finished image has a varnished look, contributing to the illusion of depth not found in lithographs. The 12-panel accordion fold-out, was tipped-in to the verso of the front cover. Album measures 5 x 6 inches and is in very good condition. There are no missing pages and no views with any bends or creases. Covers slightly worn. ***** ONE Accordion fold has a 1 ½ tear at the fold. Published 1893, this Album is in VERY GOOD CONDITION for its age, especially for being 130 YEARS OLD! An album in this condition is very scarce.

We have always loved the thrill of the hunt--the accidental discovery. This is genuine SERENDIPITY. The books we sell are from our personal collection that we have acquired over the years. Finding great items from different eras is a passion of ours and selling them to others who will enjoy them as much as we do is our goal. ~ Viola and Fred We are pleased to offer this rare item for sale. Thank you for looking!Viola and Fred
