THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL SCENE 1935 1ST HC VG- SCARCE N.C. WYETH ILLUSTRATION

Description: This is " The American Historical Scene as Depicted by Stanley Arthurs and Interpreted by Fifty Authors ", with articles by various authors, in a first edition (same date on the title page and the publisher's page), published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 1935. This edition features articles on America's history by Paul Horgan, Kenneth Roberts, Frank Schoonover and N.C. Wyeth, among many others. There are full-page plates by the distinguished artist Stanley Arthurs illustrating each article, and a scarce color portrait of Mr. Arthurs by N.C. Wyeth. This hardcover book is in Good Plus condition. It has quarter-bound tan linen-covered boards, with morocco backstrap covered spine, and gilt titles to spine. The boards show wear at the edges and corners, and at the seam where the linen meets the spine; the spine shows considerable wear along its edges, including loss of material at both its head and foot. The interior front hinge is beginning to crack, but is holding. Pages are clean and unmarked (with the exception of a signature on the title page), and beginning to show age-tanning. Lightly musty.
