The large size photographs advertised have always intrigued me. The only one I have seen (at the NYPL) is the one of the Atlantics. The condition leaves something to be desired, but it is still breathtaking to see.

If only I had a time machine...….

Corey-I believe the 1871 ad refers to Mort Rogers scorecards which could have been distributed by P&S.
