Salter, J. (illus).
Torquay, England. The Torquay Pictorial (Torquay Directory Newspaper and General Printing Company, Inc.). No date. Ca. 1889.
Two large folded panoramic views, wood-engravings on sheet size 14 x 37 inches titled "Torquay from Park Hill" and, beneath, "Torquay from the Sea." The folded panels, once tipped-in to the Torquay Pictorial, are in excellent clean condition, and were evidently removed from the magazine as a keepsake. The views are signed "J. Salter," an artist of the period associated with views of Torquay. Commenting on the art work "The Bristh Printer" (Volume 3, March-April, 1890, p. 25) writes: "A special feature consists of two panoramic views of the town and the sea front, extending across four full pages. Upwards of £600 has been spent on the production of The Torquay Pictorial, and the first edition of 3000 was, we learn, sold out in a few days." Uncommon and sharply defined black and white engravings, bright and clean. Item #54350
