[Colingwood, Minnie]

What fishing is like in Labrador, EDITION: Unknown (but surely very small). FORMAT: 187 x 131 mm. PAGINATION: (ii)+71 pp. ILLUSTRATIONS: Most unusual for a book of this sort, the illustrations are actual mounted photographs, bromide silver prints, probably taken with an early Kodak camera (the author mentions this in the text). This form of illustration lent itself to small editions. BINDING: Original red binder's cloth with title in gilt in large letters up and down the spine and in large gilt letters on the upper cover. PRINTER: The "County Observer" Newspaper and Printing Co., Ltd, Usk (U.K.): [Privately printed], 1898
