[SAN DIEGO]. Souvenir of Hotel Del Coronado Coronado Beach, California. Milwaukee: The Brown Photo-Gravure Co., [ca. 1890s]. Oblong 8vo. Illustrated with 16 photogravure plates and 2pp. of text. Publisher?s printed wraps with ribbon tie at spine (wrappers toned, soiled, lightly worn, text toned). Photogravures include views of the exterior, the office, dining room, theater, billiard room, and more. This jewel of a hotel was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977; perhaps it is most famous as the primary location of the classic Billy Wilder film, Some Like it Hot (1959), starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon.
