The Price of Blood: An Extravaganza of New York Life in 1807 by Howard Pyle Pdf

This illustrative story set in 1807 New York presents exciting events in the life of Nathaniel Griscombe- an attorney who was permitted to practice at the bar of justice but usually sat at his office window and engaged himself with his thoughts and assumptions with not much to do. He was well regarded as a person with exceptional wit and was also famous as a man who could drink enormous amounts of liquor without losing control over his body. But one fine day, things changed for Griscombe when this young lawyer, without any prior practice, started getting clients one after another. The novel consists of several thrilling events that follow the young attorney. American illustrator and author Howard Pyle wrote the book to let the reader consider how easy it is for the innocent to become mixed up in a fate that no way involves him and for the discreet to become surrounded in a network of events which he has had no part in causing. This book presents fantastic imagery, acting as a window to early 1800s New York, and gives a glimpse of how the court was conducted during that period.

Howard Pyle by Howard Pyle,Paul Preston Davis Pdf

First edition, one of only 60 numbered and signed sets bound thus (Museum Edition) and containing an extra eight page signature at the beginning. Contains a tipped in wood-engraving pulled from the original block and printed on Mohawk Superfine by Leonard Seastone at his Tideline Press. At the dawn of the 20th century, Howard Pyle was America's most famous and influential illustrator. Through the illustrated pages of Harper's, Scribner's and Century magazines, the American public first became acquainted with the illustrator that they would come to love. Both by example and through his teaching, Pyle molded and influenced generations of young artists who have continued his unique vision of illustration far beyond his own lifetime. Published 93 years after the death of Howard Pyle, this book celebrates the enduring and far-reaching achievements of America's foremost illustrator. Illustrated with over 3300 images, this important research tool represents the complete record of all known Howard Pyle illustrations, hundreds of which have not been reproduced since their original publication over 100 years ago. Paul Preston Davis, with exhaustive research and dogged perseverance, has produced a much-needed resource for the study of Howard Pyle and American illustration. His work greatly expands upon the data originally collected by Willard S. Morse and Gertrude Brincklé in 1921. For the first time, full-color images (approx. 1.25 x 2.25 inches) of each of Pyle's published and unpublished works are provided in a single source. Most importantly for the researcher, Davis has indexed and re-indexed the information, creating a tool that is as easy to use as it is valuable. This remarkable and comprehensive set of books embodies years of research and will be valued and treasured by researchers, scholars, librarians, and collectors alike. Co-published with The Delaware Art Museum.
