[Rarebooks] FS: 1901 Guide to Paintings at the Wanamaker Store, New York City

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

1901 Guide to Paintings at the Wanamaker Store, New York City.

The great Wanamaker’s Department Store started in 1876 in an abandoned 
Pennsylvania Railroad station and was one of the earliest of the grand 
department stores in America. Over the decades Wanamaker’s was the 
source of many innovations in the retail field, and in 1881 John 
Wanamaker opened an Art Gallery in the Philadelphia store, a innovation 
which was later extended to the New York location. Wanamaker purchased 
French paintings at Paris salons for sale in the store’s gallery as well 
as for the store’s, and his own, permanent collections. 131 paintings 
are described here, including some recently purchased at several 1901 
salons.

Softcover. 4.25”x6.5”, 36 pages. No illustrations. Covers with light 
soil, some wear, chip and crease on the rear panel. [43404]  $40
