1881: “A School Geography, Ohio Edition #3” Sketches

These illustrations were photographed from the 1881 (3rd) edition of A School Geography, Ohio Edition, which was part of The Eclectic Series of Geography. It was the third printing of the book, with the first in 1870 and the second 1877, by Van Antwerp, Bragg, & CO.

A May 04, 1977, article in The Cincinnati Enquirer noted Farny’s illustrations in the 1877 issue. It’s unclear if he illustrated the first (1870) edition, though it seems unlikely given he was in Europe from 1867-1870.
