[2], 6pp plus 8 tipped in colour prints with captioned tissue-guards. Light card covers. 4to. Covers are worn, chipped around edges, scuffed and cracked along backstrip, with visible shelf wear and scarring on verso. Text block edges a little rubbed and indented. Internally a hint of yellowing on endpapers and in margins (not affecting prints).

Hall provides a fascinating introduction covering the history and methodology used by Currier & Ives to produce their ‘ballads in picture’ prints, and the impact they had. The prints portray, generally, Americana – portraiture, history, life on the prairie trail etc.
