The Grotonian. 25 issues from November 1902 to June 1905, bound in one volume.
During this era, the Grotonian followed a monthly publication schedule of October through June, presumably coinciding with the school year. The 25 issues contained in this offering are:
From Volume 19, 7 issues - November 1902 through June 1903. Missing from Volume 19 are the October 1902 and April 1903 issues .
From Volume 20, all 9 issues - October 1903 through June 1904.
From Volume 21, all 9 issues - October 1904 through June 1905.
These magazines are uncommon. As of this listing, I see no other examples of pre-1930 issues available online.
Condition of the book is Good. The exterior of the book is half-bound leather over marbled boards. The main condition issue is a large leather chip missing from the spine (see photos).
The interior condition is Very Good. Inside pages are complete. There are some very occasional pencil marks (x's or similar) to be found in page margins, likely denoting an article the prior owner wanted to read.
Groton School has a reputation as being one of the top private schools in the United States. Founded in 1884, its list of alumni includes Franklin D. Roosevelt, Averell Harriman and Dean Acheson.
The content of the magazines focuses on school events, sports, alumni news, and occasional student fiction or essays.
Standard shipping is USPS Media Mail. A shipping surcharge may be required for expedited or overseas shipping.
Please message me with any questions.

Description:
Göttingen: Steidl, 2017. Revised Steidl edition (first published as two volumes in 1977). This large format recreates the full original sequence of photos in one volume for the first time. Rich with 100 images illustrating Eggleston's pilgrimage from Memphis to the small town of Plains, Georgia (home of Jimmy Carter), where in November 1976 Carter was elected 39th President of the United States. Lonesome roads, train tracks, cars, gas stations and houses... 340 x 260 mm (13½ x 10¼ inches). In a very good condition - both inside and out. Lloyd Fonvielle says in the book's introduction: 'The photographs have a quietude and unsentimental romanticism, as well as an edge of poignance, which belie the expectations of hopefulness or portentousness suggested by a knowledge of the time and place in which they were made. On the eve of the election, when nothing had yet been decided, when everything - whatever that everything was -hung in the balance, Eggleston made an elegy... a statement of perfect calm'.

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
