They encountered lands rivers and peoples previously unknown Americans east of the Mississippi. During the next sixty-five years Lewis and Clark's journey was followed by other explorations of the West from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean and from Canada to Mexico. Artists often accompanied explorers as they encountered the unexpected and unique subjects of the American West. Inspired by the thrill of adventure and the majesty of high mountains great chasms and wide-open spaces artists became eyewitnesses and visual commentators of the changing shape of the frontier-- and the tragic displacement of American Indian tribes. As these artists sought to capture on paper and canvas what they saw during their explorations and travels they gave birth to American western art. After Lewis and Clark highlights more than sixty paintings drawings and prints in the collection of one of America's finest museums of American art the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa Oklahoma. This richly illustrated book presents and places in aesthetic and historical context many of the priceless portraits striking scenes and grand landscapes inspired during the sixty-five years after the Corps of Discovery completed its epic journey. It features the works of notable artists of the nineteenth-century American West including George Catlin Karl Bodmer Alfred Jacob Miller Charles Bird King Paul Kane Seth Eastman Carl Wimar John Mix Stanley Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Moran. . 2006. 0806199598 .

A landmark botanical work published by subscription with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert heading the list of subscribers. The Rajah of Burdwan reserved one copy as did Cambridge University and the Royal Library of Berlin. The East India Company ordered thirty. The lithographs were executed by the legendary botanical illustrator Walter Hood Fitch who for decades was the sole draftsman and lithographer used by the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Fitch adapted drawings by the botanist Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker and by Indian artists working under the direction of J.F. Cathcart. Hooker had traveled through central and eastern Himalaya from 1847 to 1849 collecting around 7000 species of plants on the journey. His Rhododendrons of the Sikkim-Himalaya 1849-51 began a rhododendron craze among British gardeners and was also illustrated by the skilled hand of Fitch. Hooker was appointed director of Kew Gardens in 1865 and held the post for twenty years. As a close friend of Charles Darwin he had the distinction of being the first audience for Darwin's theory of natural selection. The bookplate in this copy is that of Dr. Paul Jay Bowman 1893 - 1985 a charter member of the American Rhododendron Society. Bowman was drawn to northern California by its rhododendrons and ran the Redwood Coast Hospital in Fort Bragg for over forty years. A lovely book with a nice provenance. Lowell Reeve unknown
