First Anchor edition, Kerouac's own copy, with his pencil annotations throughout, focusing heavily on American sculptor Horatio Greenough, and demonstrating Kerouac's concern with the development of an American vernacular art. An excellent insight into Kerouac's perception of American arts and culture, animatedly annotated with exclamation marks and asterisks. Kouwehnhoven's Made in America, first published in 1948, is "concerned. with what has happened and is happening to the arts in modern civilization" (p. 5), and aims to give time and attention to "the frequently crude but vigourous forms in which the untutored creative instinct sought to pattern the new environment" (p. 12). This copy was possibly owned by Jay Carroll before it was leant or given to Kerouac: Carroll may by a relative of Paul Carroll, founder of Big Table. Kerouac's first annotation is a note on p. ii: "p. 82-85 - Rare quotes from Horatio Greenough". Kerouac's annotations on these pages appear in agreement with Greenough's defense of the vernacular arts in America, highlighting Greenough's book The Travels, Observations, and Experience of a Yankee Stonecutter (1852), likely having read it, or with the intention of doing so. Kerouac also highlights references to famous American architects, notably James B. Eads, who completed the steel-arch bridge across the Mississippi at St. Louis, and the famed architect Louis Sullivan who, as Kerouac has underlined, "caught his vision of the power of the creative dreamer - 'he who possessed the power of vision needed to harness the intellect, to make science do his will, to make the emotions serve him.'" (p. 71). The margin by this quote is dotted with exclamation marks. There is also a rather poignant annotation to a section on balloon-framing techniques of house-building, to which Kerouac has added the marginal note "Jean-Baptiste Kerouac's 1890 house in Nashua, H.H." (p. 51): a memory of his grandfather's home. Octavo. Original white wrappers printed in blue, red, and black, with a photographic illustration of the Golden Gate Bridge to the front. Housed in a red cloth flat-back box by the Chelsea Bindery. With 16 black and white photographic plates. Ownership inscription of Jay Carroll to half-title. With ink stamp and blind stamp of the Kerouac estate to half title. Spine a little sunned, extremities lightly rubbed and creased, occasional light spot of foxing to edges. A very good copy indeed, well-read by Kerouac.
