About This Item
xiii+209 pages with frontispiece with illustrations (some color), appendix, bibliography and index. Square Royal octavo (9 3/4" x 8 1/2") bound in original publisher's grey cloth with gilt lettering to spine and cover in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Dr. Franz Stenzel, a Portland, Oregon physician, and his wife, Kathryn Mathison Stenzel, began collecting art of the American Northwest in 1955 shortly after Dr. Stenzel was given a painting by a patient. Over the next 40 years, Dr. and Mrs. Stenzel amassed a collection that eventually included more than 2,000 works of art. They focused on depictions of the Pacific Northwest made in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Although they never completed a projected book about artists born before 1900 who worked in the U. S. and Canadian Northwest, their research contributed to two books by Dr. Stenzel: Cleveland Rockwell: Scientist and Artist, 1837-1907 (Oregon Historical Society, 1972) and James Madison Alden: Yankee Artist of the Pacific Coast, 1854-1860 (Amon Carter Museum, 1975). Condition: Corners gently bumped. Jacket corners and spine ends lightly chipped else better than very good in a near fine jacket.
