About this title

Synopsis

First edition published by the Library of Congress. This annotated catalogue of prints and drawings from 1765-1790 gathers all the images to be found in the Library of Congress relating to the American Revolution. From the introduction: "Mr. Cresswell's painstaking compilation is multiplied in value by the decision of the Library of Congress to illustrate it on a generous scale. Both the compiler and the publisher deserve congratulations for creating a pictorial sourcebook of the American Revolution. At best, only a few other volumes can qualify for the same usefulness in opening before us, in pictures, a decisive chapter in our past." Over 900 images are reproduced. Includes indexes for titles, subjects, artists, persons, and publishers. Ex library copy with markings. xvii, 455 pages. cloth.. oblong 8vo..
