Pamphlet
1849 · NY
by Dusseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, 1849
NY: George F. Nesbitt, 1849. Original edition, not a reprint. Pamphlet. Good+ a nice copy but with the top outer corners of front cover and first leaf cut off (see photo).. 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.
