Very good.Remco Redwood Pipe Company was known for using old-growth redwood timber in its Redwood piping manufacturing. Using massive amounts of redwood in their pipes and the pipes were lauded as they were large-diameter lightweight and durable. They were used primarily used for municipal water systems irrigation and industrial purposes. With the growing power of the environmentalist movement the use of old-growth redwood was seen as a cardinal sin rightly so and they eventually bowed to public pressure and ceased manufacturing their pipes. Greg King the author of Ghost Forest relates this ironic tidbit; " â€œI point first to Wiggington Creed. Creed a powerful Bay Area attorney married into the Hooper clan who were the worldâ€™s biggest redwood merchants. After the death of the most powerful brother in 1916 Creed inherited his assets which included lumber. In 1919 he also became one of the five founding directors of Save the Redwoods League. The following year he wrote the Leagueâ€™s articles of incorporation and bylaws. And at the same time he accepted the presidentâ€™s position at PG&E. Now PG&E was the worldâ€™s largest consumer of stave redwood pipes at that time. The largest producer of those stave pipes was the Redwood Manufacturers Company or Remco. And Wiggington Creed was president of thatâ€¦â€ Redwoods Manufacturing Company unknown

Each lithograph is printed on thick clay paper and bound to a stub. Publisher’s red cloth with beveled edges bevels blind stamped in an Etruscan key pattern front cover with elaborate gilt lettering faux moire silk endpapers. A very good copy of an important and very scarce item. OCLC locates 2 copies but one is an online resource and the other gives no location conceivably making this the the only known copy.Gail Borden invented condensed milk during the time af the Civil war and it was a huge success. Unlike regular milk it was portable over great distances had a very long shelf life and it was safe. Two brothers George and Charles Page from Illinois one of whom came into contact with condensed milk as a soldier in the civil war sought to emulate this success by opening a condensed milk factory is Switzerland a place renown for it’s dairy industry to supply the European market with condensed milk. They named it the Anglo-Swiss company as their target market was Great Britain. But they were successful beyond their dreams and by 1891 it had 12 factories across Europe and the US that exported worldwide. Anglo Swiss then expanded into the USA by purchasing its first factory in Middletown New York and its second around 1889 then the largest condensed milk factory in the world in the Page brothers' home town of Dixon Illinois. This book was likely printed as a celebration for the companies newly opened North American factories. It must have had a very small print run due to its luxurious production and was perhaps only given to large shareholders. At the same time as Page brothers were introducing condensed milt to Europe a young German pharmacist by the same of Henri Nestle had developed and was producing a viable powdered milk product that was used as a substitute for breast milk. He too was extremely successful. The competition between the companies was fierce. From the company's website -- "Nestlé Company’s history began in 1866 with the establishment of the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company by two US brothers Charles and George Page. Using plentiful supplies of fresh milk in Switzerland they applied knowledge gained in their homeland to establish Europe’s first condensed milk production facility in Cham. They began supplying the product under the Milkmaid brand to Europe’s industrial towns marketing it as a safe long-lasting alternative to fresh milk. In 1905 Henri Nestle’s company merged with Anglo-Swiss to form what is now known as the Nestlé Group." Nestle still produces condensed milk under the Milkmaid brand to this day.

Printed title in blue and red within an embossed gilt ornamental frame one printed "Notice" from the publisher dated June 1842 49 specimens of embossed cards many tinted some printed all mounted to stiff card stock; and 7 sheets of "Embossed Specimens of Printed Billets" sewn to a stiff printed card. Oblong 4to. With a very interesting presentation note from a previous Philadelphia owner Alfred Darrach dated 1928 affixed to the front pastedown identifying the original owner his grandfather as Christian Gobrecht 1785-1844 artist engraver embosser inventor engraver to the U.S. Mint and from 1840-1844 the 4th United States Engraver of the Mint where he was responsible for the creation of several new models and designs including the famous Seated Liberty design which appeared on a variety of American coins from 1836 through 1890. <br /> Gobrecht designed many notable medals coins and dies during his career but he also "invented a speaking doll and later a camera lucida. He also produced engravings for calico printers and dies for bookbinders. He engraved the brass dies for embossing the Morocco covers of the Boston Token from 1831 - 1836 as well as the eagle cover of the Philadelphia Token. Among the medals he engraved were the Charles Willson Peale medal the Franklin Institute medal etc ." - DAB.<br /> A remarkable specimen album in and of itself all the more so for having belonged to one of America's most important engravers. We cannot say for sure but it is entirely likely that if Gobrecht himself did not design many of the dies for this embosser he may have used the album for his own work and possibly removed the cards which are no longer present.
