About This Item
Boston: Alfred Mudge and Son, 1873. First edition. Hardcover. Poor. 8vo, 432 pages, publisher's cloth, rear hinge separating, tidal lines in gutters.
For the use in Schools and Families, illustrated by stereoscopic views. The Introduction is "Photography And The Stereoscope". This is rather early on stereoscopy. There are no illustrations: presumably it was meant to be accompanied by a selection of stereoscopic views, but I have found no evidence to support that in fact.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
