Description: 500 Years of Life in America: An Illustrated History by Marshall B. Davidson (1987) Editorial Reviews Book Description From the earliest days of discovery up to and including our own time, 500 Years of Life in America tells the epic story of America through drawings - works in pen, pencil, charcoal, crayon, pastel, gouache, and watercolor. Drawings have a special importance because they are one-of-a-kind, on-the-spot, eyewitness documents. The drawings included here are not only sophisticated works by such renowned artists as John Singleton Coppley, John James Audubon, Winslow Homer, Frederic Remington, and Ben Shahn, but also works by relatively untrained observers who were eager to record significant events and experiences before they faded from memory. With wit, and with many engaging anecdotes, the eminent author and art historian Marshall B. Davidson skillfully places the drawings in historical context, presenting the American saga in one broad and colorful panorama. 308 illustrations, including 62 plates in full color. Noted for design excellence by the American institute of Graphic arts. The book is in a good used condition. The dust cover have only general wear on. · Please be serious about your bids.
