Full padded blind-embossed leatherette with front board inset color plate, faux woodgrain paper-over-boards slipcase with diecut opening. 240pp. Extensive illustrations (most color), pictorial endpapers. Near fine/very good. Spine ever-so-faintly sunned; slipcase gently rubbed but strong. Tight and handsome deluxe edition of the enlarged edition of the classic 1965 survey, with colophon tipped facing title page noting limitation of 5000 numbered copies (this #2442). Exceptional copy of this highly-regarded and outstandingly-illustrated study of the works of Charles Willson Peale, Titian Ramsay Peale, Charles Bird King, Peter Risinsbacher, George Catlin, Karl Bodmer, Alfred Jacob Miller, George Caleb Bingham, Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Remington, Charles M. Russell and others. The cattle brands blind-embossed on the leatherette and slipcase with diecut front panel opening that showcases the book's front board color plate are quite striking. .
