Colorado Illustrated Business Directory 1887-88. Published by C. A. Boland. Denver: News Printing Co., Printers. 352 pages. Large fold out: Rollandet's Guide Map of the City of Denver pasted onto front of 3rd leaf, in excellent condition. Half the printed inside content is on colored papers (pink and green) with many glossy cardstock illustrations, ads and portraits of the State's leading citizens. Ads on endpapers. Eight inserted leaves of portraits; numerous other illustrations in text throughout. Incredible artwork. Too many great illustrations to list. See photos for examples. Some of the lightweight colored paper in the regular alpha listing has chips or tears, a few have been repaired with tape. The majority of the content is in good condition, with normal age discoloration and wear. No big problems. Original covers and spine with gold (gilt) print . Front and back covers have some spots of fading/rub off that appear to have been caused by water droplets, but no watermarks are inside and no warping or waviness is apparent. See photos for close inspection. One of the most visually interesting directories we've seen. A GREAT, Collectible, early Colorado reference. Very Rare. One recent auction sale found. 6 OCLC copies located. Does not appear to be available in digital format. Rare opportunity for collectors.
