This landmark book has chapters on Benjamin West, John Singleton Copley, Charles Wilson Peale and Gilbert Stuart. Includes a mammoth bibliography and index at rear. This 1980 edition contains a new Introduction by the author, as well as the previous introductions, and has lengthier pagination. I am unclear as to the reason for this.
