Jarves, James Jackson. "ITALIAN SIGHTS AND PAPAL PRINCIPLES, SEEN THROUGH
AMERICAN SPECTACLES"

James Jackson Jarves was a Boston art critic who established Honolulu’s
first newspaper, was the first American to write a scholarly book on the
arts of Japan, gave great portions of his collections to New York’s
Metropolitan Museum and Yale, and was made a Knight of the Order of the
Crown of Italy for his art exhibition-related work there. Here, in one of
his less common books, Jarves provides a detailed and amusing account of
life in Italy as an American art tourist.

Publisher’s blindstamped brown cloth with gilt spine title. Title faded,
