An extremely scarce title as there were only the 225 copies printed. Subtitled 'Charles Tracy's Diary on Mount Desert Island' [1855], 'With original sketches and drawings by Frederic Edwin Church'. It is the intriguing story of a small group of New York and Boston socialites who first explored the wonders of Mount Desert Island, among them the famous Hudson River School artist, Frederic Edwin Church. Their stories, and Church's artwork (well-reproduced in the book), made the island into the summer retreat of the wealthy and led to the establishment of Acadia National Park. The descendants of Tracy's party still summer on the island today. Fine condition. N° de ref. del artículo 01488v
