Each spine is tooled with raised bands and gilt fleur ornaments — Hawaii, the Philippines, Japan, China, Cuba, Porto Rico, Alaska, India. Written by G. Waldo Browne and Nathan Haskell Dole with special articles by Henry Cabot Lodge, General Leonard Wood, and others, it's a turn-of-the-century American look outward at a world that was rapidly getting smaller. Inside are over 1,300 photogravures, engravings, and maps — real photographs of streets, harbors, and mountain towns as they stood more than a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne volume has darkened to a deep chocolate over the years, which only makes the row more interesting. The leather is beautifully rubbed and sunned at the edges — exactly the patina that makes a shelf, a mantel, or a coffee table look like it's been collecting for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 3\/4\" H x 8\" W x 1\" D (per volume)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-quarter leather over boards with gilt tooling and gilt edges\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dated 1907\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boston, Massachusetts — Marshall Jones Company\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignature\/mark:\u003c\/strong\u003e Title page reads \"The New America and The Far East by G.
