Description
For sale is Volume 10, Index, of Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia 1927 edition. Published by F.E. Compton and Company of Chicago. This is a leather bound book that is 341 pages in length. It is a fascinating and detailed look at the world of the 1920's. First published in 1922, Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia was unique in its unprecedented number of pictures and illustrations. These books are incredible just for all of the pictures themselves, in a time where opportunities for photographs were few and far between. Additionally, there are a number of color illustrations, which was not nearly as common at the time. Ultimately F.E. Compton and Company was purchased by Encyclopedia Britannica in the early 1960's, and its modern continuation is published under the name of "Compton's by Britannica". See description above.
