Salisbury, Edward E. "PRINCIPLES OF DOMESTIC TASTE. A LECTURE DELIVERED IN
THE YALE SCHOOL OF THE FINE ARTS, WINTER TERM, 1877"

New Haven; “Sold for the Benefit of the School”: 1877.
“Reprinted from The New Englander for April, 1877.”

Salisbury (1814-1901) was a professor of languages at Yale and a member of
the Art Council of the Yale School of Fine Arts. He champions the
harmonious and pleasant, and warns against overcrowding rooms with
bric-a-brac, importing odd color schemes into American homes no matter how
well the Japanese seem to make them work, mixing styles, or slavishly
copying foreign decorations. He spends a bit of time exploring the
question of what makes American art and taste unique, and seems himself to
have had a weakness for the Neoclassic, which becomes all the more evident
when he finishes with a somewhat disapproving review of Eastlake’s ‘Hints
on Household Taste’.

Uncommon in the marketplace.

Card covers. 6.75”x9.75”, 24 pages; publisher’s printed card covers with a
red cloth spine; covers somewhat soiled, a little wear. A nice,
wide-margined copy. [30764] $150.00
