This vintage 1854 surveying manual is a fantastic piece of history! The full leather binding has character with its scuffs and loose hinges, but the pages are clean and unmarked—perfectly readable. Love the original owner’s bookplate and signature, adding to its charm. A must-have for surveyors or history buffs—great condition for its age! Photos show details well.
