Boyd's directory of the District of Columbia
Boyd's Directory of the District of Columbia is a city directory published in Washington, D.C. in 1878 by W.H. Boyd, listing residents and businesses for the capital's households and trade. Its pictures are small wood-engraved vignettes of a steam locomotive in an ornate oval frame, a horse-drawn wagon loaded with timber, and a horse-drawn carriage with passengers, offering a designer period-appropriate decorative cartouches and transport motifs.
