Very early engraving showing Salt Lake City...
Item # 704978
January 02, 1858
THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, England, Jan. 2, 1858
* Salt Lake City, Utah Territory
* Mormons - Mormonism
Formatted much like Harper's Weekly with many nice prints.
The prime feature is the very nice, full page engraving captioned: "The Great Salt Lake City of The Mormons, Looking West--The Salt Lake In The Distance". The scene shows not much more than a village with various buildings scattered in the landscape with much distance between them.
The following page has two-thirds of a column taken up with a nice article headed: "The Mormon Rebellion".
A terrific, graphic item on the Salt Lake City, and likely one of the earliest images of the town to be had.
Complete in 24 pages very nice condition.
