An exceptionally well cared for antique book, this historical volume offers a charming, deeply detailed look at early 20th century Boston. The author explores the city's rich heritage, architecture, and cultural landmarks. Illustrated throughout with elegant pen-and-ink drawings by R.L. Boyer, along with black and white photography. The deep green cloth cover, with its gilt and colorful images surrounding the Massachusetts State House, is what caught our eye. So nostalgic and wonderful displayed on a brass easel or layered on a coffee table tray for your favorite Bostonian!
