Inside are twenty-four stamps showing twelve different scenes. The scenes include:
The Wheatfield
Lee’s Headquarters
The Rostrum in the National Cemetery
Meade High School
The New York State Monument
General Meade’s statue
The Jennie Wade House
View of the Round Tops from Confederate Ave.

For the most part, all the stamps and the books are in good clean condition; a few books have a few missing stamps. The attached photos are representative of their general condition.
As stated above this is the first of these we have seen in all our years of business. This item was sold in the 1950’s at the Electric Map Museum that was owned and operated by the Rosensteel family.
