Description

Artists and Illustrators of the Old West, 1850-1900. Survey of original art consisting of sketches, water-colors, engravings, lithographs, and oil-paintings from 1850-1900 compiled by Robert Taft. "In an easy anecdotal text studded with quotations from the letters, diaries and autobiographies of the artists, Dr. Taft examines the historical relevance of their pictures; he seeks to establish the authority of the illustrators-- whether their work was based on personal experience, reminiscence, or pure imagination; and finally, he gives the original sources of all the material discussed." 400/Hardcover/Brown/Jacket showing a caravan traveling in the West/Illustrations/Maps
