Classified Illustrated Catalog of the Library Bureau: A Handbook of Fittings and Supplies (1899)

Classified Illustrated Catalog of the Library Department of Library Bureau: A Handbook of Library Fittings and Supplies , published in 1899 by Library Bureau (Boston, MA). The title is more or less self-explanatory. The catalog features hardware, furniture, and paper information systems for library practice in the late 19th Century. Numerous wood engravings and photographs. The binding was remarkably poor, in the sense the pages rarely lay flat on the scanner, so some skewness remains in the text and images, which may affect OCR quality. Scanned at 600dpi, 24-bit color, algorithmically deskewed and then manually cropped.
