Description: St. Lawrence River Crossing Ice Dangers 1836 rare juvenile British pamphlet Tales of Travellers; or A View of the World - Perilous Passage Across the St. Lawrence. (Old Pamphlets, 19th Century pamphlets, Travel, Adventure, Rare, Canada, St. Lawrence, Ice, River Crossing). Published Saturday, December 24th, 1836, London by Joseph Last. 8 pages (four leaves). Text in English. Publisher's pictorial paper wrappers, neat early supplemental (?) paper tape along spine. Note the 1d price at top right, indicating individual sale (perhaps as a chapbook by hawkers). For a collector, an ephemeral item of great interest due to the key subject and potentially unique pictorial woodcut depicting the location, with what appears to be early (original?) hand color. Almost certainly scarce/ rare in the market to find similar in appearance to as found here. Pamphlet is approaching 200 years old and shows some signs of handling and time. Binding and paper gently uniformly age toned, mostly light or inoffensive signs of handling and time but nothing severe or unsightly, pamphlet remains overall attractive as an object. The pamphlet displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in overall nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws which may be present seem easy to overlook or forgive. Please review photos for more detail showing how this pamphlet survives. The asking price reflects the condition based on our examination and 35+ years full time exposure to antiquarian books, maps and printed ephemera of all types and genres. Flaws seen and/ or described have been taken into account. Printed Area Measures c. 8 1/4" H x 5 1/8" W. [B11624].
