- Lot Description
Francis Holl (British, 1815-1884) after Felix Octavius Carr Darley (American, 1822-1888), "Indian Marauders", 1870. A hand-colored steel engraving accompanying "Appleton's Journal: A Magazine of General Literature", Volume 5, 1871. Darley’s dramatic depiction of Native Americans raiding a settler’s ranch was also included in William Cullen Bryant’s "Picturesque America" (1872) – a luxurious two volume set. Scholars argue that this compilation of essays, 900 wood engravings, and 50 steel engravings including Darley's, had a profound influence on the historic preservation movement as well as the growth of tourism in the United States. Size: 11.3" W x 8" H (28.7 cm x 20.3 cm); 14.5" W x 12.25" H (36.8 cm x 31.1 cm) including mat
Born in Philadelphia, Felix Darley lived and worked first in New York City, and later, following his marriage of 1859, in Claymont, Delaware. He produced many drawings that were printed in journals and more than 200 books. These included such best-selling works as Washington Irving's "Sketchbook" (1848) and "Knickerbocker History of New York" (1850), as well as novels by James Fenimore Cooper, Charles Dickens, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Darley's wonderful drawings of scenes inspired by history and literature made him a beloved early American book illustrator. He was actually one of the first artists to specialize in this endeavor, and his oeuvre served as inspiration for others, setting new standards during the mid 19th century.
Text below the image reads, "Entered according to act of Congress, AJ1870 by D. Appleton & Co. in the clerics office of the district court of the southern district of NY."
