1492-1892Published by C A Nichols this 120 year-old, 1st edition is packed full of old photosthatare all more than a century old! So many times we look at an old photograph, and have no idea of thetreasure before our eye\'s. Wet-plate photographers helped to open theAmerican West by taking their cameras out of the studio and onlocation. The wet plate photographer needed a strong back when he wentinto the field but the detail in wet-plate photos can be absolutelyastonishing. Manyofthe items in these old Victorian era photos have fallen victim tothe ravages of time and few objects possess the ability to transcendtime as old photograph books do. This old photo book is a treasuretrove ofassorted and valuable historical information about the US just 30 yearsafter the Civil War. The front of every page is a full-page photograph while the facing page has a generous amount ofinformation or historyabout the photograph or illustration subject (there is a list ofthe illustrations at the end of the description below).Our Land andCountry contains glimpses of America through century-oldphotography that includes street views, businesses, railroads,nature, Indians,landmarks, architecture, mining, industrial, nautical and rural viewsjust tomention a few, and all for the most part, are long-gone.This book is an 1892 photographic depiction of 19th century Americawith over 300full-page photographs and illustrations from over100 years ago!

A celebration of Americanhistory. . . photos from 36 states. . . many from New York,Massachusetts, Washington,Illinois and California.Rememberfolks, this first edition book full of America\'s wonderlands wascopyrighted in 1892 so allthe photos are from that year or earlier.
