Beschreibung

(9 x 5 1/2 inches). Engraved portrait frontispiece and 17 tinted lithograph plates, drawn on stone by Winslow Homer and others, printed by J.H. Bufford, after photographs by W. Snell and sketches by M.C. Oby and others. Frontispiece and titlepage detached. vi, 195. Original blue ribbed morocco-grained cloth, the covers with elaborate borders blocked in blind, the upper cover with central area blocked in gilt with a rococco frame surrounding gilt lettering "Reception / and / Dinner / in honor of / Mr. Geo. Peabody / at the old town of / Danvers / Oct, 9. 1856", spine lettered in gilt, gilt edges. Tribute to the famous philanthropist with two early examples of Winslow Homer's work. The two lithographs by Winslow Homer, "View of Arch at Davenport and Residence of Hon. James D. Black" and "Arch Near Baptist Church, Davenport", both include his initials in the plate area and are amongst the earliest signed examples of his art. Homer answered a news advertisement and was apprenticed to Bufford's of Boston at the age of eighteen, for a period of about two years. Every aspect of the celebrations marking George Peabody's visit to the town where he was born are covered in detail in this work, in both words and pictures. The final section of the work concerns the establishment of the Peabody Institute in South Danvers. Peabody's name lives on today through the magnificent series of financial endowments he made during his lifetime, both in England and the United States: most notably the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass. and the Peabody Trust in London. Sabin 18517; Tatham Winslow Homer and the illustrated book (1992). Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 34558
