Gift inscription on first free endpaper; otherwise, book is in near fine condition. Bunting goes beyond simple picture-collecting. His page-long narrative captions place everyday scenes—from granite quarrying and paper-making to coastal shipping and state fairs—into rich economic and social context. His prose is casual, conversational, and evocative, avoiding dry academic lecturing while capturing the warm flavor of the Maine storytelling tradition. He has unique pedagogical gifts, that "first makes his readers curious; then he provides them with the tools to satisfy their curiosity". A "magnificent window on the past" and a "true labor of love, carefully selected, intensively researched and beautifully written".
