About This Item
New York: Portland House, 1990. 1st. Hardcover. VG. Brown cloth, color pictorial dust jacket, 208 pp. 57 color, 121 bw repros. "Presents a grand portfolio of paintings, drawings, and prints, accompanied by excerpts from accounts by travellers, novelists, and the artist themselves. Both realistic and imaginative painters have their counterparts among writers, and the texts, carefully chosen from a wide variety of sources, include not only familiar names such as Dickens and Mark Twain but also lesser known yet equally observant travelers. The commentaries are themselves the raw material of history at its most vivid and entertaining. The result is a powerful first-person evocation of the United States up to about 1876, when the centennial prompted Americans to assess their past, while the spread of photography heralded a new pictorial tradition for the future."
