Very early engraving showing Salt Lake City...
Item # 704978
January 02, 1858
THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, England, Jan. 2, 1858 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.
