S. R. Koehler, ORIGINAL ETCHINGS BY AMERICAN ARTISTS, Cassell and Company, Limited, New York, 1883
Large folio, illustrated with 20 full-page original etchings, unpaged. Pages measure 17 3/4 by 13 3/4 inches. This is one of the best and earliest books published during the American Painter-Etcher movement of the third quarter of the nineteenth century. It contains twenty original etchings by some of America's most important artists of the time, all signed in the plates, and produced at the time that the book was published (unlike some of the later painter-etcher books that contained later impressions of earlier etchings). All etchings are fine early impressions, on heavy paper, with full margins, and in great condition. A few have minor light soiling in the margins, but nothing to be concerned about. The covers of the book are in fair condition only and the book is basically disbound. Finding the book complete with all twenty etchings and text is rare. Most have been cut up for the etchings. Each etching is accompanied by text and is protected by a tissue guard. The titles and artists are as follows: "Winter Evening" by Henry Farrer. "His Own Doctor" by Thomas Waterman Wood. "The Inner Harbor, Gloucester" by Stephen Parrish. "A Tower of Cortes" by Thomas Moran. "The Lion in Love" by S. F. Church. "The Ponte Vecchio" by Joseph Pennell. "An Old New England Orchard" by George H. Smillie. "'Tween the Gloamin' and the Mirk, When the Kye Come Home" by Mary Nimmo Moran. "The Three Cows" by Joseph Foxcroft Cole.
