This is the title page of "Florida: Past and Present, Together with Notes from Sunland on the Manatee River, Gulf Coast of South Florida: Its Climate, Soil, and Productions," illustrated by Samuel C. Upham and published by Ashmead Brothers in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1883. The typographic design, with its emphasis on the large title and ornamental lines, is characteristic of 19th-century publications. The mention of "The Land of the Orange and Guava, The Pine-Apple, Date, and Cassava" suggests the book's purpose of promoting Florida's agricultural and tourist opportunities.
