Full mottled calf, marbled end-papers, red page edges. Bookplates to front pastedowns. Heavy wear at corners. Weak hinges to front boards. Volume 1 includes 6 engraved plates (including title), 63 colored maps, 4 tables, 1 plan (of Jerusalem) and 3 genealogies. Leaf 71 suffers from small amount of text adhering to adjoining paper. Moisture mark to edge of leaves 77-79 as well as intermittent moisture marks to page edges. Volume 2 includes 55 maps and 3 tables. This edition was bound in two volumes as opposed to other examples bound in three, hence only two title pages and the resultant 134 plates.; 12.25 x 15.75 in.

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
