About This Item
New York, 1890. Pictorial boards. Very Good. A solid, very presentable copy of the 1890 true 1st edition of this seminal study of poverty on New York's Lower East Side, with its pictorial boards over navy-blue cloth and with the matching "1890" dates at the title and copyright pages. Tight and VG, with light spotting and offseting along the top-edges, and a touch of light wear to the spine ends and the fore-edges. Thick 12mo, bright gilt-titling at the spine. 43 illustrations -- many of them pictorials-- complementing Jacob Riis's timeless text.
