From Wikipedia: "Washington Allston [Associate Member of the Royal Academy of Arts) ARA (November 5, 1779 July 9, 1843) was an American painter and poet, born in Waccamaw Parish, South Carolina. Allston pioneered America's Romantic movement of landscape painting. He was well known during his lifetime for his experiments with dramatic subject matter and his bold use of light and atmospheric color. While his early artworks concentrate on grandiose and spectacular aspects of nature, his later pieces represent a more subjective and visionary approach." Laid-in at the rear and leaving a brown shadow is a newspaper clipping obituary for George W. Flagg (1816 - 1897), an American painter of historical scenes and genre pictures who studied under Washington Allston and was his nephew. Flagg was elected an honorary member of the National Academy of Design in 1842 and an Academician in 1851. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good++ condition.
