While Willis is first on the title page it is Bartlett's fine work that has made this the finest 19th century work on America from the artists' perspective. the plates view the Eastern U.S. before the full force of the Industrial Revolution changed the face of the eastern landscape forever.

Bartlett 1809-1854 was a renowned English painter or architectural and topographical views and panoramas who did similar books on such countries as Switzerland and Canada all of which are epitomize the steel engraved view books of the period and are easy to find standard works. In this copy of "American Scenery" there is no question that the hand-coloring greatly enhances the otherwise appealing but unexciting steel engravings and one can not but think that the plates were intended to be colored so. Some finger soiling to the leaves including those with the plates but overall a clean copy. The binding does have wear with abrasions to the diced calf repaired joints and moderate wear besides. Chipping to the black spine labels. <br/><br/> George Virtue unknown books
