About This Item
From front dust jacket flap: "Mary Cassatt's paintings and prints have long been treasured as among the finest examples of American Impressionist art - a vivid and touching record of middle-class life in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Now, seventy-two of Cassatt's most important paintings and graphics are meticulously reproduced here in full color - the first time that so many of her works have been made available at a popular price."
Book - Very Good condition. Green cloth over boards with gold gilt on spine. Beautiful impression of mother and child on the front. Very minimal wear on edges and corners, BUT the covers are faded at the top and the back has a light scrape. There is a hard corner crease on front end paper and first page. Text is clean. Binding is tight.
Dust Jacket - Very Good condition. Very minimal edge/corner wear. Front looks "Fine", but back has medium size bumped area that lightly affected the cloth cover underneath.
