A great series of prints with three fascinating essays that cover different aspects of early American printmaking. There is a great essay on the role of gender in American prints, another one focused on the skyscraper, and a final one on the influence of George Bellows on Edward Hopper. The first two essays were superb and the last one was thought-provoking though I felt sometimes stretched the formers influence on the later.

I felt like the authors and the exhibition (which I didn't see) did a great job of mixing in the famous along with the relatively more obscure. The images in this book are simply vibrant and wonderful!!!

A fascinating book with three interesting essays and tons of amazing pictures.
It made me crave to see the exhibition.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
