Houston, Texas: Rice University, 1986. Softcover. VG- (Ex-gallery with spine label and few interior marks; reprints only a few of the included illus. in the copying process, and those that appear are difficult to distinguish.). Thesis. Photocopied from micofilm by UMI. Blue paper wraps, 160 pp., few BW illus. Thesis. The first volume only of a two-volume work that was highly illustrated in its original form. Provides the first formal analysis of 36 paintings rendered by American artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), betwen the years 1844 and 1853, representing half of his life's work.

Basically, this is merely text only.
