We purchase American Artist Estates as well as American art libraries and our goal is to provide, through eBay, a constantly replenished veritable "candystore" of rare and out-of-print books and catalogs for the lover of American prints and paintings...
The item you are bidding on is:
A REAL FIND! April, 1927 issue of the Bulletin of the Rhode Island School of Design containing the first publication of the groundbreaking essay by Norman Isham " JOHN GODDARD AND HIS WORK ". 12 pages, 8 illustrations, VG condition [museum stamp from which it was deaccessioned and usual library markings]. RARE! One of several similar catalogues we have listed.
Norman M. Isham, an architectural historian, brought together a large amount of biographical material on “John Goddard and His Work” for an April 1927 article in the Bulletin of the Rhode Island School of Design. Issued in conjunction with an exhibition, this article cited him as “a single master craftsman” who was “the finest of all the New England cabinet-makers and one of the two best in all colonial America.” Isham carefully footnoted his article and described in detail the ornament and construction of major Newport pieces, including the Lisle family desk and bookcase at the Rhode Island School of Design.
We have thousands of happy customers all around the world! Thank you for your WONDERFUL Feedback!
We are downsizing a large art library--please see our other listings.
