Harry T Peters AMERICA ON STONE 1931 Vintage Art History Lithography Color & Black & White Plates & Illustrations Native American Indians George Washington Title: America on Stone: The other printmakers to the American people A chronicle of American lithography other than that of Currier & Ives, from its beginning, shortly before 1820, to the years when the commercial single-stone hand-colored lithograph disappeared from the American scene. A Prologue being a survey of the field as a whole; Followed by The Alphabetical List of the Artists, Lithographers, Publishers and Craftsmen who built up America on Stone in lithographs, being a collector's notes on their lives, times and activities, gather together as much as possible of their stories from all sources; Illustrated with 18 colored and 136 black and white plates, together with numerous other illustrations showing examples of the work of more than 100 different craftsmen from every part of AmericaAuthor: Harry T. Peters - A chance encounter with an old print of the famous Long Island trotting horse Lady Suffolk led Harry T. Peters to become a collector of American lithographs and one of the leading authorities in his day on the firm of Currier & Ives. Peters' early collecting focused on English color-plate books, but as Master of Fox Hounds at the Meadow Brook Hunt on Long Island for many years, he also had strong interests in horses, dogs, and hunting. At first he collected prints of those subjects, but later he developed a more comprehensive group of historical graphic works.In the early 20th century these images were not in fashion, and Peters' advocacy of their content and charm helped interest a new generation of collectors. He was presented with the New-York Historical Society's gold medal for achievement in history for his contributions to the field of graphic arts in 1947.Peters appreciated the historical importance and visual appeal of American lithographs at a time when few others recognized their value. He began collecting before World War I, and he amassed several groups of prints later donated to museums. His books document the importance of this democratic medium that offered "cheap, popular pictures" serving both art and commerce. Smithsonian exhibitions and publications have included prints from the Peters Collection, and his books have been reprinted in several editions. Peters also published California on Stone (1935) to document lithography's coverage of the Gold Rush period. His research identified many early prints and printmakers from across the U.S. [Information courtesy the Smithsonian Institution.]Publisher: Doubleday, Doran & Company, IncCity: New YorkYear: 1931Printing Information: Limited EditionBinding Style: HardcoverPagination: 415 pagesWidth: 9.5" Height: 12.5"Book Details: A standard work on American lithography.
