Bryant, William Cullen Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In. A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes, Forests, Waterfalls, Shores, Canons, Valleys, Cities, and other Picturesque Features of Our Country.
Appleton: New York, 1872, 1874. First edition, in two volumes (pp. viii, 568; vi, 576), illustrated throughout with 49 fine full-page steel engravings on card, tissue guards, and many more equally fine wood engravings largely in the text. Folio (33cm), half red morocco over complimentary pebbled red cloth; fancy gilt titles and decorations to covers and spines; all edges gilt; fine, complimentary marbled endpapers. The text appears unopened (Certainly it is without blemish). Several corners worn, leather edges chafed, one hinge starting. By the 1870’s the issue of the union of the states had been decided, and the publishers were keen to portray the country as united (“our land”) and, as the frontier rolled west, attractive and accessible. Appleton recruited a number of artists for this ambitious and, as it turned out, popular publication and sent them out into various parts of the country, from Mt. Desert on the coast of Maine to the Golden Gate, to harvest landscapes and views. (However, the publishers apparently sought a ‘higher realism’ than photography could offer and sent not a single photographer.) The fine engravings, all of which are taken from the original artwork produced for the book, are largely by the noted engravers Hinshelwood and Hunt. The letter-press was managed in somewhat the same way, being assigned a number of specialist writers. All in all, quite a fine copy of this collection of picturesque American landscapes and views.
