MILLER, Lewis (1796-1882). "Ludwig Miller’s Reise Journal in Deutschland." Manuscript diary in English and German. Germany, 1840-1.
197 x 156mm. 114 pages, with 29 leaves in various sizes inserted, watercolor illustrations and sketches throughout (some leaves loosened or detached). Original half sheep over marbled boards (scuffed with some surface losses); in custom chemise and box Provenance: William Reese Co.
A charming illustrated travel journal by American folk artist Lewis Miller. A carpenter who lived and worked in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Miller delighted his friends and neighbors by illustrating their lives in his watercolor journals. Most of his work, some of which is held by the York County Heritage Trust, the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum at Colonial Williamsburg, and the Virginia Historical Society, depicts everyday life in the Eastern United States. This journal illustrates the artist’s two year trip to Europe, during which he visited his ancestral homeland, including his parents’ hometown of Strasbourg, after a short stop in England. His lively and unpretentious style renders people and artworks with an equal eye, blurring the lines between artworks throughout Europe and the local townspeople who were his favorite subjects.
