About This Item

208 Broadway, Cor. Fulton St. New York: [ Department of Docks ] Evening Post Steam Presses, 1878. First Edition. Wraps. Very Good. First Edition. 80 pages plus 3 plates, two of which are folding. 8vo (5 3/4 x 9 inches). Printed tan wrappers, string stitched. Additionally, three stab holes at spine (probably was in a bound volume at some point). Bright and clean internally, inked "10" upper right front wrapper. Wraps. The first 28 pages are financial in nature and include transactions from May 1st, 1876 through April 30th, 1877. The next section is the report of the Engineer-in-chief, who reports on several projects including the New Pier No. 1., N.R., Canal and King Street sections, and other areas. The folding plates depict a section and of a bulk head wall (King St. section).  The last plate is an isometrical sketch of concrete blocks showing binding frames. The following section is again financials (showing what tasks were accomplished) and then a report of the Treasurer.  A useful document for those interested in Dock related projects in NYC during this time period.
