Charles Willson Peale AND HIS WORLD, Definitive Study

By Edgar P. Richardson, Brooke Hindle, and Lillian B. Miller with forward by Charles Coleman Sellers. Essays by three distinguished scholars and more than 180 illustrations of Peale's paintings. Selected bibliography and catalogue that includes provenance and references, size, data, medium, location and accession numbers for Peale's paintings. Quarto volume, 272 pages, published in 1982 by Harry N. Abrams, Inc. New, unread but one-inch clean slit in middle of dustwrapper spine, almost unnoticeable. My guess is that it was accidentally cut when carton was opened.
