Views from the Hudson
Montgomery Livingston, c.1840s
LIVINGSTON, M[ontgomery] (1816-c.1855). Views from the Hudson. [New York? early 1840s].
A rare set of lithograph views of the Hudson Valley by Montgomery Livingston, comprising the following: "From Snake Point Clermont"; "From the County Seat of R. Auchmuty Esq., Tivoli"; "From Clermont, E.P. Livingston"; and "Clermont, R.L. Livingston". No publisher is listed; these were perhaps created for private circulation amongst the Livingston family. Livingston lived most of his life at Clermont, the estate built by his great-grandfather, Chancellor Robert R. Livingston (1746-1813). Between 1831 and 1838 he studied art in Europe, primarily Geneva, Switzerland. ABPC and RBH record no copies. The present plates include extensive research by Kenneth W. Maddox, Ph.D. on the views and the artist.
Oblong folio (385 x 485mm). Lithograph title (laid down) and four lithograph plates (some finger soiling, short repaired tears at margins). Custom portfolio.
