Description:
Philadelphia: Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger, 1873. A desirable copy of the First Edition -- tough-to-find like this in the publisher's cloth binding. Very Good condition. SEE PHOTOS. This is the 1873 HARDCOVER first printing -- not a cheaply-made modern reprint. NOT a library discard. It is bound in the original cloth with a gilt-decorated spine and blind-stamped covers. The spine is uniformly sun-lightened but all gilt lettering and decorations are still bright and distinct. SEE PHOTOS. The cover is faded at the edges. Spine ends and corners are mildly worn. Hinges are sound. Original yellow endpapers. No owner's name or bookplate. A few pages are lightly foxed but are otherwise clean and unmarked. Complete with all 6 folding maps (one hand-colored), and 48 tissue-guarded steel-engraved portraits, diagrams, fold-out lithographs, etc. Included are important accounts of the Pennamite Wars, early Indian tribes, histories of early settlers, annals of each township, etc. The… Read More

This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, spine, edges and corner of the cover. There is some dog-earring on the right corner pages of the book. The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
