American Views: Prospects and Vista

New York Public Library

0/5 ( ratings)

The growth of America and the burgeoning of its cities are splendidly documented in this rich selection of color prints and drawings which span the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries and represent the work of a venerable array of artists and engravers - Havell, Bennett, Birch, Currier & Ives, Hill, LeMoyne, Marryat, Pelham, and Wall among them.

Gloria-Gilda Deak's spirted essays amplify the historical background and artistic significance of each print, and, in the illuminating commentary he has contributed to this book, James Thomas Flexner focuses on the interplay of city and hinterland that shaped the character of American life.
