Bolton, Theodore.  "Early American Portrait Draughtsmen in Crayons"

Published in New York by Frederic Fairchild Sherman in 1923.
Edition limited to 325 copies.

A pioneering study. Bolton identified works by more than 100 American 
artists working before 1860, and cross-indexes by sitter. The University 
of Miami Libraries, which house Bolton's papers, notes- "Theodore Bolton 
was a librarian, art historian, and artist. Bolton received a diploma in 
the arts from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, in 1915. He 
studied library science at the same institute, receiving a diploma in 
that subject in 1924. He pursued formal academic work later in his life 
as well, receiving in 1937 a B.S. in education, and a M.A. in education 
in 1940, both from New York University. Thereafter, he received an 
M.F.A. from Columbia in 1955. In addition, he studied at Harvard during 
the summers from 1937 to 1939. Upon his retirement, Bolton and his wife 
moved to Coconut Grove, Florida. Theodore Bolton died at his Coconut 
Grove home on Friday, December 7, 1973." The publisher, Frederic 
Fairchild Sherman (1874-1940), was a well-heeled collector and the 
editor-publisher of 'Art in America', who also published 
beautifully-printed, extremely limited edition studies of American art 
and artists in the 19-teens, 20s and 30s.

Hardcover. 6.5"x9.5", xii + 111 pages, plus 13 b/w plates; title page 
printed in red and black; light wear, tips bumped, but a very nice copy.
