Fair.
      Rather scarce booklet which describes the fishing and waterfowling 
delights to be found on the Delaware and Maryland peninsula in the 
Chesapeake Bay, with many engraved cuts of different species and a large 
fold-out map of the region on inside front cover. Printed for the Passenger 
Department of the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad, no doubt 
with an eye toward promoting ridership to the area. See HAND #S474; PRATT

view of a sailboat on front cover, two shotgunners on rear cover. Cover 
illustrations executed by the American Bank Note Company, New York. Covers

at inside rear cover has tears along folds repaired with archival tissue, 
one section repaired with the same cloth tape as found on spine. The map is 
complete and entirely legible.
