Three-volume 1876–1878 set of "Our Country: A Household History for All Readers" by Benson J. Lossing, illustrated by Felix O. C. Darley. Vol. I (Johnson, Wilson & Co., 1876), Vol. II (Johnson & Miles, 1878), Vol. III (Henry J. Johnson, 1878). Over 500 in-text wood engravings and twelve steel-engraved plates noted on the title pages. Each volume measures approximately 10" x 7.5". Attractive, complete Victorian set of illustrated American history. Narrative U.S. history “from the discovery of America to the present time" (then-present), profusely illustrated—popular in its day for the engravings and accessible prose (Lossing was a noted 19th-c. historian; Darley was America’s most prolific illustrator of the era).
