Hardbound. Phillips, John (illustrator). Black cloth boards; gold lettering w/ color illustrated DJ, [8] 244pp, profuse color plates. This study includes more than 50 oil paintings, 200 watercolors, and 40 late nineteenth-century photographs. In a series of oils, watercolors, and prose rich with historical allusion, John Ransom Phillips portrays the complexity of nineteenth-century pho tographer Mathew Brady. The photographs Brady made have long served to illustrate an era in American history, most notably his portraits of Abraham Lincoln and the images from the Civil War battlefields he captured. Pairing these photographs with his own work, Philips explores the career of this artist who wanted to make history and who had the genius to look beyond his New York portrait studio to the Civil War battlefields. Paradoxically, Brady sent assistants to photograph his most famous scenes, the battlefields at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Antietam, instructing them to re-arrange the dead to create images that would capture the public's interest. VG+ clean and bright, DJ shows edge wear. Seller Inventory # 125963

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Philips, John Ransom (illustrator). Hard cover. A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with a bit of wear. 224 pages. The enigma of Mathew Brady leads to the artist to the work in this book. The photos of Brady's work in the Civil War are show along side of Phillips art. Bright colors follow his pictures. His pictures and the rather strange figures delight and maybe scare us a little bit. But they are new and exciting. Seller Inventory # 010091
