[With:] Allen & Ginter's Album of Quadrupeds, one of the most popular non-sport issues, ca 1880s. Twelve card pages (two covers and 10 internal pages), with string binding intact and illustrations of 50 quadrupeds. Most of the groupings of animals make sense together, such as the Arctic page with polar bear, walrus, reindeer and lynx illustrated, but the page with the illustration from India has an elephant and monkey as expected, but it also has an orangutan, rhinoceros and kangaroo, not generally found there. The page with the sphinx has both varieties of camel, plus a porcupine, giraffe, zebra and gnu. Wonderfully illustrated nonetheless. (Front with scuffed area approx. 1 x 2 in. with paper missing.
