                        We are offering a 
                        selection from one of the first works of early American 
                        chromolithography.  "The Fruits of America" was 
                        published in 1852 by Hovey and Co., Boston, and was 
                        originally issued in parts from 1847 to 1856. 
                         
                        Hovey was a nurseryman of Cambridge, Massachusetts, 
                        and a leading writer on horticultural topics.  The 
                        author describes the work in terms of national prestige: 
                        "There is a national pride, too, which I feel in the 
                        publication of a work like this; and that is, that the 
                        delicious fruits which have been produced in our own 
                        country, many of them surpassed by none of foreign 
                        growth, will be here beautifully depicted."  
                        These prints, which are in 
                        excellent condition, are on a strong wove paper, 
                        measuring approximately 7 inches wide by 10 1/2 
                        inches long. On some, there may be some slight 
                        foxing and spotting. A copy of the title page and the original text 
                        accompanies each print.
