About this title

Synopsis

This book explores the life of prominent art dealer Samuel Putnam Avery and his influence in the art landscape of New York City throughout the 19th century. The author examines Avery's early career as an engraver and publisher, but places particular emphasis on his later work in amassing one of the era's finest private art collections. The author details Avery's role as an advisor and trusted resource to his contemporaries and philanthropists like William Vanderbilt. The book also sheds light on Avery's founding of the Avery Architectural Library and his donation of over 17,000 etchings and engravings to the Lenox Library, revealing the passion that led him to make these works accessible to the public.
