Item description from seller

Brown and white illustrated wraps. 67 pp., profusely illustrated in bw. Published to accompany an exhibition held from September 23 - December 5, 2009. From 1823 to 1846, George Pope Morris (1802 – 1864) was editor and publisher of the most popular literary journals of the day, including the New-York Mirror and the Home Journal, which was the journalistic ancestor of the magazine Town and Country. Morris published the writings of William Cullen Bryant, Lydia Maria Child, Fitz-Greene Halleck, Washington Irving, and Edgar Allan Poe and serialized the works of Charles Dickens. Morris himself was the author of dozens of critical articles, poems, and popular songs. As a friend and supporter of American artists including Asher Durand and Thomas Cole, he played a key role in the development and promotion of the Hudson River School as the first major movement in the history of American art. The exhibition includes paintings, prints, photographs, letters, books, periodicals, and sheet music that represent Morris’s pioneering achievements as a writer, poet, critic, journalist, and publisher.

We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.
