Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

wrappers, untrimmed, removed from bound pamphlet volume, plate somewhat foxed, and with offsetting, some minor spotting to text, else very good. The text is mainly taken up with a key describing the 67 points numbered on the folding plate with information on each point of interest. This panorama of Athens was first exhibited by Barker and Burford in London in 1818 and 1822, and first made its appearance in America in New York at the Rotunda of John Vanderlyn in 1825, where it remained on view for more than a year. It was exhibited again at the Panorama in Boston in 1837 and again in 1842. There is an edition printed in Boston by W. W. Clapp, 1837, held by AAS, not listed in American Imprints, the present edition is not listed either. OCLC records an edition of this work described as possibly of American origin, listing its price as 6 ¼ cents, listing its date of publication as “1830?”. The present edition, priced at 12 ¼ cents, does not appear in either American Imprints, or OCLC. See Oettermann, Stephan, The Panorama History of a Mass Medium, (1997), pp., 113-114, p. 315.…
