About This Item
Philadelphia: Lippincott's Press, 1872. Original Edition, not a reprint. Paperback. Good- with back cover missing and front cover loose. Upper outer corner of front cover has been cleanly cut off. Contents nice and clean but for a pencil notation on page 39 and ink stamp on title page from the J.D. Smillie Collection. Potentially missing 1 additional plate and 2 plans (according to WorldCat), but where they were inserted isn't obvious.. Pale blue wraps with black lettering. 39, [3] pp. with bw frontis engraving, tissue-guarded. The story of The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA), situated in Philadelphia, which was erected in 1805, partially burned and rebuilt in 1845-6 and eventually demolished in 1870 (from the information printed in the engraved frontis by J. Sartain and printe by Henry Sartain). A new building was erected beginning in 1871 and is a beautiful Furness-Hewitt red sandstone building which opened as part of the Philadelphia Exposition of 1876.
