About This Item
Montgomery: Department of Agriculture and Industries, 1904. Good plus.. Twenty-one panel illustrated folding promotional on recto, printed with a color county map of Alabama on verso. One tear along fold lines and minor separations at a few crossfolds, light toning. A seemingly-unrecorded Alabama promotional touting the advantages across the state for potential "home seekers and capitalists." The panels of text extoll the virtues of Alabama's geographical location, weather, natural resources, minerals, timber, agriculture, manufacturing, cotton, fruit, stock raising, public schools, and more. Several photographs illustrate the text, including a portrait of Alabama Governor William D. Jelks, Lieutenant and Acting Governor Russell M. Cunningham, Agricultural Commissioner R.R. Poole, and images of a "modern road," a scene on the Alabama River, a cattle pasture, sheep raising, a scene on an "Alabama Cotton Field," a "Typical Alabama Home," and the State Capitol building. The entirety of the verso is a detailed map of the state printed in color by Rand, McNally, copyright 1904. Interestingly, the key to the map lists all cities in Alabama with populations over 10,000, as well as all cities with a population between 5,000 and 10,000. The total? Two: Mobile and Selma. Nine copies in OCLC, mostly in Alabama.
