N.C. WYETH'S PILGRIMS

N.C. Wyeth's Pilgrims consists of portions of murals Wyeth completed for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in 1940. The adventurous saga of the settling of the Plymouth Colony is strikingly portrayed in this magnificent book. Spectacular paintings by renowned artist N.C. Wyeth gloriously bring to life the carefully researched text by well-known children's book author Robert San Souci. The story of the Pilgrims, including the first Thanksgiving, is a central part of America's history, and over the course of time, it has taken on an almost mythical quality. Drawing upon a variety of resources, including the author's trip to the Plymouth Plantation, the text dispels some popular misconceptions about the setting of our nation as it broadens our understanding of the bravery and determination of our forebears. It is both a beautiful art book and an informative history book. Out Of Print. Condition: Very Good. Softly bumped corners & crinkled top and bottom edge with creases and tears.
