Contact seller5-star sellerFirst American Edition. Complete in 2 volumes. Large 8vo. x, [2], 356; viii, [2], 346 pp. Index. From the library of George Wharton James as indicated in a gift inscription on the ffep. Illustrated plates with tissue guards. Turquoise cloth with gilt lettering to spines. A fine set. William Bell Scott (18111890) was a Scottish a…rtist in oils and watercolour and occasionally printmaking. He was also a poet and art teacher, and his posthumously published reminiscences give a chatty and often vivid picture of life in the circle of the Pre-Raphaelites; he was especially close to Dante Gabriel Rossetti. After growing up in Edinburgh, he moved to London, and from 1843 to 1864 was principal of the government School of Art in Newcastle upon Tyne, where he added industrial subjects to his repertoire of landscapes and history painting. He was one of the first British artists to extensively depict the processes of the Industrial Revolution.
