Large octavo, 348pp. Rebound in light blue cloth, title in gilt on spine. New endpapers. Marbled edges. Previous ownership inscription on front flyleaf. Complete with twenty five full-page mounted photographs, all with tissue guards and captions, including frontispiece and a folded map of the Naval Academy. (Sabin 86382) Signed on the verso of frontispiece by Professor C. F. Blauvelt, instructor of draftsmanship at the Naval Academy. A scarce presentation edition from the Government Printing Office. This work was published to coincide with the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, but the trade edition was published without the twenty-five photographs. Neither Neeser nor Harbeck acknowledge this large paper copy. OCLC records only two copies. The photographs include a frontis of the Grounds from the Bandstand, the Department of Steam Engineering, a Dress-Parade, the Department of Gunnery, the Model Room of the Department of Seamanship and the New Cadets' Quarters.
