Delve into the rich tapestry of Iowa history with the "Portrait and Biographical Album of Louisa County, Iowa." Published in 1889 by Acme Publishing Co., this hardcover gem is a testament to the vibrant past of Louisa County. Leather-bound and adorned with fantastic illustrations, it's a treasure trove of historical insight, compiled by Chapman Bros. with copyright dates back to 1885. With 653 pages, this antique album offers a comprehensive look at the prominent figures and events that have shaped the region.

It's a piece of history in itself, presenting a wonderful opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of North American heritage. The book is in very good condition but does have some general age flaws,split front cover,spine cover is pulled away slightly,the front and back leather covers have edge and corner wear,marks,writing and signatures in ink and a couple of minor tears to three or four pages and minor page discoloration to some pages.The beautiful item measures 11" by 9" by 2" inches.The preserving of the stories and legacies of Iowa for future generations is an art to be appreciated. Please view all of the photos included for the best description of the general condition. Thank you very much for your consideration and Happy Bidding!😊🙏

    This was a really successful transaction. I met a person who is very communicative, honest, and very helpful. The package with the camera and other accessories finally arrived at the destination, although there were some adventures along the way. However, these issues were not the seller's fault but the courier company's. I am very satisfied with the purchase. The photos and description match 100% with the actual condition. I highly recommend working with servant4ever62.
