A propos de cet article

Quarto, 16pp. A good or better copy in the publisher's stapled wraps. The wraps appear to have at one point been detached, and subsequently re-attached, and the rear wrap was re-applied backwards. Still, apart from this and some gentle edgewear, a clean and visually striking catalogue from this maker of prison cells and other cerceral tools. Replete with illustrations of different cell types, and with a long list of well-known jails and prisons for which the company was contracted to build cells, including the Tombs in New York City. Each prison listed at rear includes the number of cells built by Van Dorn for that institution. An important document of turn-of-the-century prison architecture. We locate a single holding of this catalogue, at Harvard, and two copies of a similar one (#58A), at Missouri History Museum and John Jay College in New York. Rare.
