{ "item_title" : "Maryland History in Prints", "item_author" : [" Laura Rice "], "item_description" : "In an age before computer art, before motion pictiures, television, magazines, and illustrated newspapers, Americans beheld few printed images. They read about and imagined distant places, or saw with their own eyes the landscape and events of their lives. Through the first 150 years of American life, images, in the form of paintings and prints, were the preserve of the wealthy. The end of the eighteenth century brought improvements in print technology and waves of skilled printmakers to these shores. Soon, colorful and intricately crafted prints were within the public reach. The new American printmakers joyously recorded every aspect of life and left behind a store of information richer than a daily chronicle. In 1975, the MHS produced Lois B. McCauley's Maryland Historical Prints: 1752-1889, a classic collection of prints at the Maryland Historical Society, now a collectors' item. With this book, author Laura Rice has far surpassed her predecessor. The new volume is nearly twice as large with more than 330 prints, each in the color in which it was created. At a generous 9 x 12-inch page trim, the glory of Maryland print-making is stunningly reproduced, and each print is accompanied by an explicatory essay.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/93/842/071/0938420712_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "77.95", "online_price" : "77.95", "our_price" : "77.95", "club_price" : "77.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
