"Colonel John Trumbull [1756-1843] was the chief visual recorder of the American Revolution; his 'Bunker's Hill' and 'Declaration of Independence' are familiar to every school child and his portraits of the Founding Fathers, reproduced on our national currency and postage stamps, are known unconsciously to millions of Americans. He was also a landscapist, military cartographer, and amateur architect. ... [This revised edition] has brought the checklist up to date. The revised text includes accounts of the artist's career, his painting procedure, and his prices." (dj) The extensive catalog lists innumerable items; and the extensive text and bibliography are followed by 40 pages of plates.
