The following are from the survey for the US Pacific Railroad, in particular from the report by Lieutenant Henry L Abbot, on the routes in Oregon and California explored by parties under the command of Lieutenant R. S. Williamson, in 1855 (from the Sacramento Valley to the Columbia River). All are clean, in very good or better condition, with any defects noted. Images are 7 x 10' or 7 x 9 inches on sheets 8.5 x 11.5 inches, or reverse. The fish and mammals are all from drawings by J. H. Richard, and are finely engraved.
The following are large fine plates from this fine production of the Ariel Press, London, 1964, on sheets approximately 11.5 inches wide by 16 inches high, each with a printed title at the bottom. The plates are reproduced from the paintings of Rory McEwen, both botanically accurate and artistically graceful. The plates were too large to fit on completely on our scanner, so only the middle portions are shown below. The plates are clean and fine and any discoloration shown is due to the scanner. Prices are US$10 each for one, but US$8 each if both are ordered at the same time. Usual cost for shipping.

The prints are on paper 9.75 x 6.5 inches [25 x 16 cm]. They are in very good condition with some light soiling in some margins.
