About Item: New York: National Portrait Gallery/Smithsonian Institution/Holt Rhinehart and Winston , 1979. A clean, tight and unmarked copy apart from a neat name and date to half title page and light foxint to fore edge and which has a light crease to front cover. xv + 288 pages. Illustrated throughout. Introduction by Alistair Cooke. The book offers a richly illustrated and highly entertaining account of American expatriates who, over a span of almost two centuries, lived in and left an indelible mark on England. Although such personalities as James McNeill Whistler, Henry James, John James Audubon, T.S.

The ten chapters each deal with a group of individuals - for example, Benjamin West and his followers, Ezra pound and his literary circle, some colourful American heiresses who married into the Briish peerage. 15.
