View shows plantations by type; This reproduction copy issued by Pelican Press, originally in<br />

1931, and printed by Rand McNally - this reproduction greatly alters <strong>the</strong> original. Incredible<br />

detail, showing <strong>the</strong> Plantations on both sides of <strong>the</strong> river. Four engraved views. Engraved by<br />

some light browning in two areas, but is overall a very good copy. Copies at LSU,<br />
