Boards are straight, tips are pointed, spine is square and pages are otherwise clean. The history of American Art. America has been slow to develop art. The reasons are not difficult to discover. The folk from the British isles who crossed to North America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were not, as a race, endowed with the artistic sensibility of the French and Italians. British genius, while capable at times of fine artistic work, has more commonly expressed itself in other forms of intellectual and emotional activity than that of canvas and chisel.
