1895-96 Proceedings of the New York Farmers NYC Antique Booklet Metropolitan Club Ephemera
 
This is a great piece of Gilded Age New York / Progressive-era civic history—a printed record of a private “farmers” society that met at the Metropolitan Club and discussed practical issues that were very current for the era (example shown: country house sewerage/sanitation, water quality, and modern infrastructure). The member/officer lists make it especially interesting as a snapshot of who was participating in these elite civic/industrial circles in late-1890s NYC (shows prominent names, including J. P. Morgan).
 
In short: not just “farm stuff”—it’s a period document tied to public health, country-estate living, and New York’s money-and-influence network.
