Foxing to the half-title page, otherwise fine throughout. A speck of a light stain or spot on the top edge of the page block. Accompanying book of the exhibit, John Singleton Copley in America, organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. 348 pages with Bibliography and Index. Numerous illustrations. From the publisher: "Unexpectedly, John Singleton Copley illuminated Boston's colonial sky," writes one of the authors of this volume. The son of poor Irish immigrants, Copley (1738-1815) became the supreme portraitist of the colonial era before he left his native Boston for England in 1774. Primarily in Boston, and to some extent in New York, Copley depicted contemporary merchant princes, clergymen, and military officers and their wives as well as Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and other political leaders.
