Maker: Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion
Antique page with text and illustration featuring Truro and Provincetown, published in Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion in 1856. This provides a fascinating look into how Cape Cod, and Truro and Provincetown especially, were viewed in the mid-19th century. Images are: Pond Village, Truro; View of Provincetown; Highland Light, Truro; Race Point Light; Windmill near Highland Light; and Truro Beach. Good antique condition with some minor stains and some damage that does not affect the text and images. The text on the right side page focuses on other topics. Could be matted to hide the binding damage at the center fold. Measures approx. 15 x 22 inches to the paper edges.
