Homes of American statesmen: with anecdotal, personal, and descriptive sketches, by various writers. Illustrated with engravings on wood, from drawings by Döpler and daguerreotypes: and fac-similes of autograph letters. Photographer(s): Whipple, John Adams
- Scope & Content:
-
Imprint: New York: G. P. Putnam and Co. 10 Park Place. London: Sampson Low, Son and Co. M.DCCC.LIV.
Green buckram bound octavo volume, with gilt-embossed decorative covers, measuring 220 x 163 mm; half-title, viii, 469, [5]; edges gilt. The volume contains a salt print frontispiece, captioned in pencil, 'Hancock House, Boston. An original sun picture.' The publisher's notice draws attention to the illustrations as follows: 'Most of the illustrations in this volume have been engraved from original drawings, or daguerreotypes taken for the purpose. The frontispiece is somewhat of a curiosity, each copy being an original sun-picture on paper. The great luminary has here entered into direct competition with other artists in the engraving business — our readers can judge how well he has succeeded.' This work is considered the first American book to be illustrated with an original photograph.
