Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This First Edition, First Printing (1978) presents a curated selection of 102 of Norman Rockwell's most iconic paintings, reproduced in rich color with commentary and an introduction by Christopher Finch. Published jointly by Artabras and Crown Publishers, this large-format volume highlights Rockwell's defining contributions to American visual culture - from Saturday Evening Post covers to wartime commentary and domestic narrative scenes. The volume survives in Near Fine condition, notable for its clean boards and crisp interior. The red cloth remains bright with a clear blind-stamped illustration on the front panel and sharp gilt lettering on the spine. The boards show a slight, gentle warp, common to oversized art books of this era, but the binding itself remains firm and square, and page integrity is unaffected. Internally, the pages are exceptionally clean, bright, and unmarked, showing no writing or foxing. Lacks the dust jacket. As issued, the book contains 102 full-color plates, each accompanied by descriptive text featuring publication dates and interpretive commentary. Artabras's high-quality reproduction standards are evident in the tonal accuracy and clarity of the artwork throughout. The copyright page lists only the 1978 publication year with no additional printing statements, which aligns with Crown/Artabras's identification of a first printing.
