Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. A perfectly serviceable set of a dozen (12) reference copies from a leader publisher of science and education in the mid-late 19th century and thenceforward; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy in sum.

Some rubbings to extremities, scuffings to tips, light crackings to joints, to front hinge of one volume, some chipping to spine heads and tails, else still quite sturdy, and some feel as if they've never been opened.

Many of the illustrations serve as visual depictions of musical numbers such as the minstrel song "My Honeysuckle Girl," the patriotic songs "My Own United States" and "Flag of My Country," and the double-page spread "Katie My Southern Rose." Others employ standard racist tropes of the period. At this time, the J. Ottmann Lithographic Company was under the helm of William Ottmann, the son of Jacob Ottmann. As of 1893, the firm "had thirty-four steam lithographic presses and employed 450 workers." (Color Explosion, p113). The playwright Stanislaus Stange was involved with numerous Broadway shows.
