Descripci�n

Fine condition black buckram (cloth) boards with gold spine lettering contained in a very good condition color photographic dust jacket. The upper front right jacket corner contains a 4 inch scratch; the jacket is otherwise in fine condition (see photographs).

Pierce, Jr.; Introduction by Jean Strouse; Contributors and Photographic Credits. Profusely illustrated with color photographs, black-and-white photographs, full page color frontispiece, and red front and rear endpapers. "Both a museum and a center for scholarly research, The Morgan Library is an extraordinary complex of buildings occupying half a block in the heart of New York City. Among the world's greatest treasuries of seminal artistic, literary, musical, and historical works, the Library's renowned collections of rare books, manuscripts, and drawings have as their principal focus the history, art, and literature of the Western world. The collections originated with the medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, rare books and bindings, literary and historical manuscripts, and master drawings and prints amassed by Pierpont Morgan (1837 - 1913), the great financier of turn-of-the-century America. He also acquired a selection of Islamic manuscripts as well as roughly 1,200 Mesopotamian cylinder seals. With the subsequent addition of autograph music manuscripts and innumerable acquisitions - recently including works representative of the twentieth century - the collections have grown many times over. But the focus on the written word, the history of the book, and master drawings has been maintained. Changing exhibitions, drawn from the Library's collections, private collections, and those from other museums and libraries here and abroad provide visitors access to some of the Western world's most significant cultural artifacts. This book provides an overview of the Library's collections, highlights among which are the ninth-century Lindau Gospels, a rare vellum copy of the Gutenberg Bible, The Hours of Catherine of Cleves, Albrecht Durer's Adam and Eve, drawings by Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas, Rembrandt Harmensz, van Rijn, and Peter Paul Rubens, and manuscripts of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Arnold Schoenberg, Charlotte Bronte, Henry David Thoreau, John Steinbeck, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
