<p>Modern reprint of an oversized (15" x 11") volume that provides a rare window into America's Victorian age. Here are essays describing the whole range of 19th century industries, illustrated with over 1000 beautifully done engravings: mines and railways, farm machines and factories, hotels, carriages, colleges, showrooms, furniture, and early skyscrapers. Originally printed in 1876 as part of the International Exhibition in Philadelphia to celebrate the Nation's Centennial, the book contains drawings that range from naive to sophisticated but all draw a picture of a vigorous and forward looking civilization. 192 pages.</p>
