Oak Knoll Press is proud to announce the publication of our new bibliography: Books on Art in Early America: Books on Art, Aesthetics and Instruction Available in American Libraries and Bookstores through 1815 by Janice Schimmelman. This work is sure to be a valuable resource for book collectors, libraries and anyone interested in early America.

 

This bibliography covers a broad range of books on art that were available in early America, including not only art treatises and instruction manuals but all books related to drawing, painting, engraving, sculpture, artist biography and the history of art. The bibliography covers art books up to 1815, the year that Thomas Jefferson sold his extensive book collection to the U.S. government to form a new Library of Congress. The checklist includes 183 titles, each with a full bibliographic description, followed by full catalogue references of the booksellers and/or libraries that listed the book. This bibliography will be a useful tool for students and scholars of book collecting, art and American culture in general.
