About This Item

New York: Printed by R. & G.S. Wood, 1830. 8vo.  210 x 125 mm. [8 x 5 ¼ inches]. 54 pp.  Removed from pamphlet volume; paper stock lightly toned at margins; newspaper article from the Evening Star dated 1834 is pasted to final blank.  With faults a good copy. First edition.  Well documented exhibition catalogue containing paintings, mostly by 17th and 18th painters, with some examples from contemporary painters working in the classical style.  The descriptions are detailed in a manner that distinguishes this publication from others of the period, as it contains both biographical information on the artist was well as a critique of the style, composition and color of the work of art. This is an early example of America's entry into the international art market and the beginnings of the establishment of an "American taste" for paintings and objects of art. (670).
