Book of the artists. American artist life, comprising biographical and critical sketches of American artists: preceded by an historical account of the rise and progress of art in America
Henry T. Tuckerman's survey of American artists and the growth of art in the United States, published in New York by G. P. Putnam & Sons in 1867 for general readers and collectors. The illustrations sampled here are square wood-engraved initial letters, white capitals set against dense stippled grounds filled with curling leafy vine, usable as drop caps, monograms, or tile-like ornament.
