BEYER, Edward (1820-1865). Album of Virginia. [Richmond:] W. Loeillot in Berlin and Rau & Son in Dresden for Beyer, [1857]-1858.
Oblong 2° (422 x 620mm). Hand-coloured tinted lithographic title and 40 hand-coloured lithographic views after Beyer. (Short marginal tear in title, and one other plate.) Loose in modern linen portfolio, linen solander box.
A splendid album of lithographic views of early Virginia, produced by a German artist resident in Virginia from about 1854-56. Howes cites an 1856 issue, which must be a ghost as no such copy of it is in NUC or otherwise known. A smaller-format edition of descriptive text was published in Richmond in 1857. Howes USiana B-413; Sabin 5125 (1857).
