Paris: Jean-Baptiste Coignard, 1732. First Edition. Hardcover (Full Leather). Very Good. 2 volumes: Volume 1 (1732) 832pp, xciii , vol 2 (1760) 122pp in two parts. 13 plates plus plates of the author and a frontis. 12 plates of medallions (49 medallions) in the first volume and 16 plates (the first 12 identical) in volume 2 (1760). The latter volume also has the frontis. Front hinge splitting on vol I but still firmly attached by all cords, boards more or less detached but present on the second volume. Original full calf, light chipping to spine on vol 1, heavy and spine strip loose on 2. Heavy edgewear, both volumes with armorial bookplates of M. Titon de Villotran (Titon de Tillet's great nephew) and the second with that of "General J. Doreau". The first volume has scattered light stains and marks, but is generally VG at least internally. Corrigé par l'auteur on half title with a dozen or so manuscript corrections in margins to text. There are also a few marginal additions typed and added on paper at margins as well as a few marginal repairs. The second volume shows moderate foxing, heavy to title and frontis, but generally clean. A scarce copy of a book important to French culture, and a lovely production. There were three supplements to the 1732 work, in 1743, 1755, and 1760 (as luminaries either died or gave up their art), an initial abbreviated volume (Description du Parnasse François) was published in 1727 in 12mo. ************** Titon du Tillet originally conceived of this project as an immense sculpture garden honoring the great poets, musicians and artists of Louis XIV's reign. The estimated cost of over 2 million livres forced him to terminate the project and commence this more manageable monument in print. Size: Folio. 2-volume set (complete). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 kilos. Category: Antiquarian & Rare; Architecture. Inventory No: 034597.

Description:
This collection of original material of Jerome Myers includes two photographs of Jerome Myers, taken by Leo Grubman, one taken in 1910 [when they shared an art gallery and studio] and signed by Leo Grubman, the other taken by Grubman circa 1932. There is a photograph of his wife Ethel (photographer not identified). After his success at the Armory Show in 1911 with the sale of his painting "The Mission Tent" he was able to move into a new studio at the new Carnegie Hall building. There are two warmly personal letters with biographical items of interest plus some artistic representation. The first letter is to his friend Leo Grubman, dated January 21, 1914, and discusses with pride his daughter Virginia's dance recital and his busy schedule. There is a second letter (lacking the first page) of one page signed "Jerome" and circa 1915 of his move to Carmel, New York where he bought 18 acres in a very rustic setting (where he has made a few nice ink sketches along the margins of the letter). A small corner…

This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, spine, edges and corner of the cover. There is some dog-earring on the right corner pages of the book. The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
