The Port Folio - Volume 6 - Nos. 1-6 July-December 1811

1811blb02987New York: Bradford & Inskeep and Inskeep & Bradford 1811. 1st. Hardcover. Good. Bound but missing front and rear boards. Spine leather intact and book suprisingly tight. Spine is worn but shows original panels. Title page has name and date of prior owner - ""A. McIhenney US Army 1813"" Book was purchased at an estate sale of Alan McIhenney the great grand-son of original owner. Be the second owner of this 1811 book. Most of the plates are only moderately foxed but almost all of the text pages are totally clear of markings or flaws. Despite the lack of boards and a missing plate I believe not sure this is a great copy of an early and important piece of Americana.
