A copy of the report of Captain T. J. Cram, on the best mode of improving the navigation of the Ohio river at the falls of Louisville. March 21, 1844.
Read and ordered to be printed Washington DC: n.p, 1844.
Wraps. Disbound, loose wraps. 34 pages. Illustrated with 16 numbered folding plans and sections with an additional 5 folding maps and plans not numbered. Stitching has been removed and contents and plans are loose and separated. One plan has a closed tear at the fold intersection. No loss of content. Maps and plans are in good condition. Text ends on page 34 with no back cover. Contents lightly toned and clean.
Issued in 1844 this copy has 21 folding plans and maps of which 16 are numbered. It does not have all the 27 folding plates and maps compared to the 1845 copy currently held by the Cincinnati Public Library (their copy states "Part 2"). Does not appear maps or plans were removed at the back. Possible that this copy is incomplete but difficult to verify if the 34 page text came with 21 drawings or 27 drawings initially. Incomplete?
