Quarter linen titled in gilt and marbled paper over boards.

As is common with this title, three of the five Ruzicka engravings ("Broad Street", "Broad Street at Military Park", and "The River-Bank") show spots of horizontal, soft-edged, brown stripes, caused by ink settling into the paper. (See images.)

Measures approx. 9.5" x 12.25". Some light rubbing to edges of marbled boards.
