Description
1857 Life of George Washington Declaration of Independence Chappel Illustrated
A rare and thorough historical account of the life and career of George Washington, the first American president. This book by John Frederick Schroeder covers Washington’s military and political careers focusing on specific battles and war campaigns. However, the most appealing aspect of this set is the inclusion of 45 full-page steel engravings from Alonzo Chappel, a famous American illustrator. According to Sabin, this work was
“originally issued in forty-six parts. Schroeder died while the fourth part was in press. The work was completed by other writers, among whom was Rufus W. Griswold.”
In addition to the illustrations, this first book-edition includes the Declaration of Independence. Overall, a rare piece of Americana!
