Beschreibung
In good condition. Spine faded from sun exposure. Ornate gilt finishing on spine remains intact. Front board pictorial gilt work remains intact as well. Light rubbing to corners, extremities. Endbands lightly crushed from shelf wear. Old hand ownership dated 1854 on flyleaf. Interior lightly toned with scattered foxing throughout. Free of known markings. Binding tight and intact. Please see photos. Six wood-engraved plates. The brewery closed around 1837 and the building was converted to tenement use. By now the Five Points area was the most infamous slum in the city--known for extreme poverty, crime and vice. The degraded district was in the cross-hairs of the mission movement in the years before the outbreak of Civil War. The Ladies' Home Missionary Society, organized in 1844, was among the earliest to venture into the neighborhood. In 1850 it opened a Sunday school in a single room on the corner of Cross and Little Water Streets, directly across from the Old Brewery. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers COLU1854ABEK
