True

printers?
Yesterday’s answer:
(D) produced a picture book
In 1853
British Mission president Samuel W. Richards and twenty-three-year-old convert
Frederick Hawkins Piercy, an accomplished artist and engraver, decided to
publish an illustrated travel book to encourage European Latter-day Saints to
gather to Zion. Piercy left England for the United States, making sketches of
important scenes to James Linford, an assistant editor for the Church’s Millennial Star, to prepare for release.
With its thirty steel engravings, and bound in red gilt-stamped morocco, Route from Liverpool to the Great Salt Lake
Valley is considered one of the most beautiful publications in the Church.
