W.H. Coverdale Collection of Canadiana: Paintings, Water-olours, and Drawings : (Manoir Richelieu Collection)
xix, [1], [2], 3-297 plus approximately 200 pages of black and white plates. "Describes and reproduces 500 paintings, water-colours and drawings, which represent 20 per cent of the art works acquired by the Canadian government in the 1970 transaction with Canada Steamship Lines. These works were created by some 100 artists who tried to capture through pictures almost two centuries of our national experience. The reader will be impressed by the amount and depth of research which characterizes this catalogue. Many will consider it a very significant addition to the knowledge of Canadian iconography in a decade which has been dedicated to access to information." - Foreword. Somewhat above-average external wear. Binding intact. Sunning to spine. Minimal library markings, including transparent laminate over covers. A sound reference copy of this highly informative work.
