Abstract
Augustus Austin Turner (ca.1831-1866) produced the first American book illustrated with photolithographs, its pioneering (or primitive) nature apparent in the slightly uneven printing and page alignment. The views are based on photographs Turner took between Manhattan and Dobbs Ferry. In general, they are either the country homes of prominent New Yorkers, or examples of eccentric architecture.
