RARE Gleanings for the Drawing-Room Illustrated Sir Edwin Landseer Birket Foster

HISTORY: From the beloved collection of the Atkinson family, whose stories are weaved together in George Howe Colt's New York Times notable book of the year, "The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home." Many of these books are inscribed by Atkinson family members. I highly recommend Colt's memoir, if only to discover the history behind these eclectic family treasures.
