About This Item
New York: MacMillan and Co., 1895. vi,270,[1]pp. Original maroon cloth, gilt-lettered cover and spine. Light wear to binding. Front inner hinge cracked. Front fly leaf and half title loose; contemporary presentation inscription on front fly leaf. Internally clean. Good. A collection of lectures on La Farge's approach to painting, originally delivered as a series at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1893. Each lecture is accompanied by a brief synopsis. This copy is inscribed by La Farge to his student, the painter Anne Mary Richards Brewster: "Anna with much love from John Christmas 1895." It would seem that the two had some romantic involvement, as La Farge did with a number of women.
