About This Item
Cambridge, MA: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1960. Hardbound. VG/G+ Contents clean and tight with tanning to page edges. On one copy, dj has fading and small tears at upper back.. Blue cloth, gilt letters on spine, tan and dark green paper dust jacket. xxix, 313 pp. "As a statement of aesthetic theory and of the history of art, [this book] is an idiosyncratic mixture of trailblazing and spokesmanship, insight and misjudgment, prejudice and rationality. The influence of this amazing book, first published in 1864, on the development of American taste has long been underestimated." (dj).
