After Icebergs With A Painter

NY: D. Appleton & Co., 1861. first. Hardcover. Blue cloth faded to purple, with matched and new spine with gilt lettered title in period font. xvi, 336+8 ads pp. 6 tinted lithographs. VG, crisp copy, light age soiling even over covers, small bump to upper right hand corner of back cover, some foxing to first tissue paper, slight yellowing to page edges, slight loss to edge of page listing illustrations. Ex Hartford, CT public library with pocket at rear (quite interesting, since Church was born in Hartford and his parents spent their lives there and were prominent members of the community there) and presentation bookplate inside cover, light pencil notations near library marks. Item #2794.2

A very good, unfoxed copy of this scarce and important book. Chronologically details the trip Frederic Church made to the northern tip of Newfoundland in search of Icebergs to paint. Also gives some insight to the philosophical foundations for Church's style (both personal and artistic) and possibly Luminism as well. V. scarce, and a nice copy.

Price: $500.00
