Step back into 19th-century America with this antique 1892 edition of King's Handbook of the United States, edited by Moses King with text by M.F. Sweetser.
Lavishly illustrated with over 2,600 engravings and 51 colored maps, this massive volume served as both a travel guide and cultural reference at the close of the Gilded Age. Published in Buffalo, NY by the Moses King Corporation, it reflects the grandeur of the U.S. Capitol, natural wonders like Niagara Falls, and historic figures that shaped the young nation.
This copy features the original decorated cloth binding with silver gilt design of the U.S. Capitol dome. The book measures approx. 9.5" x 6.5" x 3" and weighs over 3 lbs.
