VIEWS ON THE HUDSON [caption title]. A scarce Civil War-era set of view cards and descriptions of sights and geographical attractions along the Hudson River from New York to Glen's Falls. Other views include the Palisades from Yonkers, West Point, Hudson, the Catskills, Peekskill, and a folding view of Albany. Each section of descriptive text in the pamphlet volume is accompanied by a corresponding colored view of the scene. Thomas Nelson & Sons began publishing this series in 1858, and continued to issue them into the early 1860s, updating views as needed. All editions are scarce.This set with a duplicated view of Sing Sing to make up for lacking a plate showing a view of the entrance to the Highlands from Peekskill, but also with an extra set of views of Niagara in a similar style, issued by a Buffalo publisher.
