[Charles Agvent]

TURNER, A[uston] A[ugustus]. VILLAS ON THE HUDSON. A Collection of 
Photo-Lithographs of Thirty-One Country Residences. New York: D. 
Appleton and Company, 1860. First Edition. Large folio (19" x 13-1/2") 
in original gilt-lettered cloth. Three preliminary leaves, 31 
photo-lithographic plates (most with two tints applied by stencil, with 
gold-printed frames and captions), and 21 floor plans. A visual record 
of the country residences owned by wealthy New Yorkers between upper 
Manhattan and Dobbs Ferry produced on the eve of the Civil War, 
containing images based on photographs taken by A.A. Turner during the 
late 1850s, this is generally considered to be the first large-scale 
work to use the process of photo-lithography in the United States. 
Toning, particularly to plates with floor plans, many with some small 
stains, mostly to margins; split at front joint, occasional loss of 
small pieces of cloth at extremities. Very Good. (#021297)        $5,000
