Art thoughts : the experiences and observations of an American amateur in Europe
Art criticism and travel commentary by James Jackson Jarves, an American collector reporting on European painting and sculpture, published in New York by Hurd and Houghton in 1871 for general readers and amateur collectors at home. The illustrations in the index are chapter-opening initial letters cut in heavy black line, each capital set in a square block and wrapped in foliage, vines, and small flowers, usable as drop caps, monograms, or ornament sourced at line-art weight.
