Copyright 1893, by Yerington, J.A., Carson City, Nevada. Published by The Albertype Co., N.Y. Approx. 7 x 4 1/4", soft cover, 14 pages with illustrations. Held together with blue ribbon tied in a bow on left edge. The booklet, through it's many illustrations, highlighted the state's resources at its exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago, 1893, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' discovery of the Americas. It proved to be influential in architecture and the arts while America was transitioning from an agricultural to an industrial nation. As many as 27 million people (or roughly half the U.S. population) attended the Exposition during the 6 months it was open (Ref: histclo.com). Includes a cover. Rare, very fine.
