Catalogue of the first retrospective exhibition of American art, organized by Mrs. Albert Sterner for the Junior Art Patrons of America at New York's Fine Arts Building in 1921 and printed by the Flying Stag Press for exhibition visitors and collectors. Coarse halftone plates reproduce paintings from 1689 to 1921 — colonial and Federal portraits, a painter at his easel, dark tonal landscapes, a snowy village street — yielding heavy blacks, blurred edges, and printable low-key figure studies.
