This is a terrific pocket map and tourist guide for the nation's capital city. The map "Map of the City of Washington in the District of Columbia U. States of America Published by Casimir Bohn Washington" (15.5 x 10.5") is bound into the back of the book. The map is printed on fine banknote-style paper and is surrounded with reference tables and information useful to tourists. It is embellished with fancy titling and compass rose, and large vignette of the Capitol building. The book is hardbound in blue cloth with gilt stamped title, buildings and monuments. There are two title pages and two frontispieces; the Andrew Jackson memorial (colored), and East Front of the Capitol. The finely rendered plates include the President's House, U.S. Patent Office, Smithsonian, Washington Monument, Columbian College, Navy Yard, and many more. 134 pp.
