=IN A FAIR COUNTRY.= With 55 full-page illustrations;
engraved by Andrew. Nearly 100 pages of text, by Thomas
Wentworth Higginson. Gold cloth, full gilt, $6.00;
Turkey morocco, $15.00; tree calf, $15.00; English seal
style, $10.00.
Miss Jerome has caught the very glamour of the woodland and the lea with
her pencil, transferring it to paper with the delicacy of an exquisite
photograph, while Colonel Higginson's delightful style brings out the
beauty of his topics most satisfactorily. As a specimen of the
book-maker's art, the volume leaves nothing to be asked.
=A BUNCH OF VIOLETS.= Original illustrations,
engraved on wood and printed under the direction
of GEORGE T. ANDREW. 4to, cloth, $3.75: Turkey
morocco, $9.00; tree calf, $9.00; English seal
style, $7.00.
The new volume is akin to the former triumphs of this favorite artist,
whose "Sketch Books" have achieved a popularity unequalled in the
history of fine art publications. In the profusion of designs,
originality, and delicacy of treatment, the charming sketches of
mountain, meadow, lake, and forest scenery of New England here
reproduced are unexcelled. After the wealth of illustration which this
student of nature has poured into the lap of art, to produce a volume in
which there is no deterioration of power or beauty, but, if possible,
increased strength and enlargement of ideas, gives assurance that the
foremost female artist in America will hold the hearts of her legion of
admirers.
=NATURE'S HALLELUJAH.= Presented in a series of
nearly fifty full-page original illustrations
(9½ x 14 inches), engraved on wood by GEORGE T.
ANDREW. Elegantly bound in gold cloth, full gilt,
gilt edges, $6.00; Turkey morocco, $15.00; tree
calf, $15.00; English seal style, $10.00.
This volume has won the most cordial praise on both sides of the water.
Mr. Francis H. Underwood, U. S. Consul at Glasgow, writes concerning it:
"I have never seen anything superior, if equal, to the delicacy and
finish of the engravings, and the perfection of the press-work. The copy
you sent me has been looked over with evident and unfeigned delight by
many people of artistic taste. Every one frankly says, 'It is impossible
to produce such effects here,' and, whether it is possible or not, I am
sure it is _not done_; no such effects are produced on this side of the
Atlantic. In this combination of art and workmanship, the United States
leads the world; and you have a right to be proud of the honor of
presenting such a specimen to the public."
=ONE YEAR'S SKETCH BOOK.= Containing forty-six
full-page original illustrations, engraved on wood
by ANDREW; in same bindings and at same prices as
"Nature's Hallelujah."
