A new book, "An Annotated Guide to the Artwork of the United States Boundary Commission 1850-1853," documents the artwork prepared under the direction of John Russell Bartlett and describes some 250 images done in pencil, sepia and wash, and watercolor. These drawings were made largely by Bartlett himself, although there are significant contributions from Henry Brown, Oscar Bessau, Harrison Eastman, Seth Eastman, and Henry Pratt. Following the introduction and main body of the text, a total of approximately 120 drawings are reproduced in black and white on a series of 42 pages at the back of the book. A more complete description of the contents of the book and its availabilty can be obtained via E-mail from the author.
