Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outstanding Academic Title, Choice, 2015 Winner, Ewell Newman Award of the American Historical Print Collectors Society, 2016 In 1849 the Smithsonian purchased the Marsh Collection of European engravings. Not only the first collection of any kind to be acquired by the new Institution, it was also the first public print collection in the nation, and it presented an important symbol of cultural authority. The prints formed part of the library of Vermont Congressman George Perkins Marsh (1801-1882), a member of the Smithsonian’s Board of Regents. The uncertainty of the Smithsonian's mission in the early years complicated its motivation for purchasing the collection, especially given Marsh’s position as a Regent in financial difficulty. After a serious fire in 1865, portions of the collection were deposited at the Library of Congress and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Efforts to reclaim it began in the 1880s, as a new generation of Smithsonian staff expanded the National Museum, but they achieved only mixed success. Through the story of the Marsh Collection, the book explores the cultural values attributed to prints in the 19th century, including their prominent role in expositions and their influence on visual culture at a time when collecting styles were moving from an individual’s private contemplation of artworks to wider public venues of exposition in museums and reception by multiple audiences. The history of this first Smithsonian collection enlivens an important stage in the development of American cultural identity and in the formation of the Smithsonian as a national institution.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Directors of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts On the 21st of December, 1874, an exhibition of Engravings, Mezzotints and Etchings was opened under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, in a structure adjoining the new Academy building in course of erection at the south-west corner of Broad and Cherry Streets. The exhibition is composed of over a thousand sheets, selected from the large and valuable collection of Mr. James L. Claghorn, the President of the Academy, for the purpose of illustrating the history of the art of engraving on metal from the earliest period to the present. The exhibition is much the largest and most imposing of its kind that has ever been held in America, the collection being especially rich in fine impressions from plates executed by the early engravers. The criticisms herewith presented appeared in the Evening Telegraph of Philadelphia, on December 22d, 26th and 29th, 1874, and January 2d, 8th, 13th, 19th and 26th, 1875, having been written by Mr. Wm. J. Clarke, Jr., of the editorial staff of that newspaper, and a member of the committee in charge of the exhibition. With these criticisms is also given the address delivered by Mr. W. S. Baker, also of the committee, at the opening of the exhibition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
