First edition, first printing. 148 reproductions with 57 in large full color. Folio, coffee table book. Condition: FINE/NEAR FINE John Constable RA (11 June 1776 – 31 March 1837) was an English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for revolutionising the genre of landscape painting with his pictures of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home – now known as "Constable Country" – which he invested with an intensity of affection. "I should paint my own places best", he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, "painting is but another word for feeling" The book is in FINE condition. Only a few blemishes to text block edges else VERY FINE. Clean, as new interior. The unclipped dust jacket is in NEAR FINE condition - light edge wear (no chips or tears) and panel rubbing else FINE. An impressively beautiful copy of this first printing! As a fellow book collector, I know how frustrating it can be when items aren’t accurately described or poorly packaged for shipping.
