by Dusseldorf Academy; NY: Institute of Fine Arts, 1861
NY: George Russell, 1861. Softcover. Good. A tight copy, free of text marks but with art museum ex-lib. stamp and sticker to both covers and small stamps (unobtrusive) to 5 text pages.. Yellow wraps. 53 pp. with no illustrations. Begins with a Historical Sketch of The Dusseldorf School of Art. Interestingly, the pagination begins with an unnumbered page 27 and moves on to page 28, etc. Additionally, the listing of works in this exhibition begins with No. 146, Lessing's "Martyrdom Of John Huss", and proceeds through No. 250, with the addition at the end of six works of statuary. Several American artists are listed in the catalogue, Sonntag and Leutze being among them. Very fragile. It is possible that this catalogue is a complement to the regular exhibition at the Gallery of American works the same year, or the same season, with those items being numbered #1 - #145.
