‘Picturesque America’ is one of the best and most thorough works on the history of America. According to Rainey,

“‘Picturesque America’ was a conspicuous presence in the popular culture of the United States in the post-Civil War years. First published as a magazine series in Appletons’ Journal, then as a subscription book, in parts, from 1872 to 1874 it reached a huge audience. Its voluminous text and over 900 pictures represented the first comprehensive celebration of the entire continental nation. By testifying to the variety, uniqueness and potential wealth of the American landscape and the advanced civilization of its cities, ‘Picturesque America’ laid the foundation for a resurgence of nationalism rooted in the homeland itself, rather than in institutions of democracy as would have been the case earlier in the century.”

 

Edited by William Cullen Bryant, ‘Picturesque America’ was proudly displayed by Appleton and Co., at their booth at the Centennial Exhibition in 1876, displaying its beautiful binding and exquisite illustrations.
