Item description from seller

Black wraps. 143 pp. 17 bw, 75 color plates. This exhibition concentrates on British nationalism and antiquarianism during the late Georgian and early Victorian epochs. The curators culled some of the finest examples of British drawings and prints from the Magoon Collection purchased by Matthew Vassar in 1864 . The essays in the accompanying catalogue focus on the romantic cult of ruins and the cultural reclamation of a uniquely British past connected to the unprecedented growth of regional tourism and antiquarian research. The works discussed range from landscape watercolors by John Sell Cotman and J. M. W. Turner to architectural views by Joseph Gandy and Augustus Charles Pugin as well as designs by Thomas Sandby and Sir John Soane. (Taken from website). Published to accompany an exhibition which opened in Poughkeepsie, NY: Loeb Art Center, Oct. 15 to Dec. 19, 1999 and three other locations.
