Up for sale is an exceptional 1927 edition copy of the "Visitor's Guide to Salem," published directly in Salem, Massachusetts by the historic Essex Institute.
This vintage guidebook provides a wonderful deep-dive into early 20th-century "Witch City" tourism, documenting the architectural landmarks, regional lore, and historic spots of the area. The front cover beautifully showcases detailed illustrations of local points of interest like The Witch House, East India Marine Hall, and the Pickering House framing a portrait of Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Bonus Feature: This copy includes a highly sought-after, fully intact map of Salem dated March 1923 attached to the cover. The map is completely preserved without the typical heavy splits or separation lines common for paper ephemera of this age.
Condition Notes:
The cover graphics are bright, bold, and clear. The binding is structurally secure, and internal pages are complete. There is a tiny bit of vintage surface staining on the lower right corner of the front wrap as pictured, which does not affect the text or the interior map. Please review the high-resolution images to assess the fine details yourself.
