"Pennsylvania--An Autumn View of Mauch Chunk, the 'Switzerland of America' & its Attractions". This town would be re-named "Jim Thorpe". The doublepg. centerfold is a group of 9 prints of: "Illinois--The Growing Industries in the United States--Curing & Packing American Beef...". Also three prints from: "Alaska--The Great Fur-Seal Island in Behring Sea".
Attached is the "Supplement" on the "Princess Alice Disaster" which has several related prints.
Twenty pages, a mended tear to an unrelated leaf with a small hole, otherwise quite nice.
