 Antique Silhouettes Book MASSIVE the BEST Work


We have a gently used copy here of Sue McKechnie's work on antique silhouettes: "British Silhouette Artists and Their Work: 1760-1860." Other than a few small tears of the dustjacket, the book is very sharp and clean. This copy is NOT ex-lib.

This is a massive volume published in 1978, large hardcover with 798 pages, some color plates, and easily over 1000 photos, all printed on quality glossy stock. The book weighs over 8 punds! McKechnie starts with an intro on the subject and covers the types and varieties of antique frames, as well as dating of silhouettes based on clothing. That is just the beginning. This volume contains everything you ever wanted to know about British silhouettes and their artists. In addition, she lists bio of over 100 American artists and those British artists who worked in America. $150

Postage by priority mail is $15. Bookrate is $8. No overseas.
