Plane Surveying: A Text-Book And Pocket Manual by John Clayton Tracy

The item is the title page of a book titled "PLANE SURVEYING A TEXT-BOOK AND POCKET MANUAL" by John Clayton Tracy, C.E., Emeritus Professor of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering of Yale University. The publishers are listed as John Wiley & Sons, Inc. based in New York, and Chapman & Hall, Limited in London. The page itself is a light cream or off-white color, indicating some age and potential oxidation of the paper. The text is printed in black ink. The paper appears to be relatively thick. The condition is noted as good in the additional context, and the visible page appears clean with no obvious tears, stains, or significant creases. There seems to be a slight yellowing around the edges, consistent with age or exposure. The image captures the title page laid flat, possibly indicating the binding is intact and allowing the book to open fully. The overall presentation suggests a well-preserved copy of a technical or academic text.
