by Dusseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, 1849
NY: George F. Nesbitt, 1849. Softcover. Good. A nice copy; small piece of clear tape on center cover and small label on rear cover; age soiling to cover edges and light foxing to front cover; vertical fold mark.. Sewn wraps. 16 pp. with no illustrations. Begins with an Extract From The Plan of The Art-Unionof Rhenish Prussia and Westphalia, followed by Object of this Art-Union. This is followed by a listing of 131 paintings. These are basically described, lacking the flair and bluster of later editions. These 131 works are followed by a section of OLD PAINTINGS numbered 100-122 and a final page listing 29 drawings, with an allusion to other works not listed.
