Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

Felix Octavius Carr Darley. 13 plates, and 74 illustrations in the text throughout; Green cloth stamped and lettered in gilt on spine and front, cracked front hinge, chips to head and toe of spine, wear on corners, name of previous owner inside, bookplate, overall a Good Solid copy! New York, 1869. The author, a noted artist and illustrator, made a summer tour of post-war England, France, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Germany, and Italy, travelling a good deal by rail, with many illustrations after his own sketches. Felix Darley ''can well be considered America's first important illustrator. '' Self taught and highly prolific during a long career that included being a newspaper staff artist, illustrator for book publishers and for famous authors including Washington Irving, Henry Longfellow and James Fenimore Cooper, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Dickens. With illustrations for these writers, Felix Darley popularized such American icons as the Pilgrim, the Pioneer, the Minuteman and the Yankee Peddler. Western art collectors covet his illustrations depicting the settling of the West, the early life on the plains, the Indians, the white settlers, trappers, and hunters. He was especially adept at portraying the dramatic action of the Indian buffalo hunt. Darley's fame was so great while he was alive that many books were advertised as ''illustrated by Darley''. His talent was that of bringing life to the scene, whether his medium was pencil, ink wash, or oil; he brought the reader into the story. He was also part of the first generation of American illustrators that successfully challenged the dominance of English and European mid-19th Century illustration. Darley's first independent projects, published in 1843, were a series of outline drawings depicting the ''noble savage'' in ''Sketches in Indian Life'', and pen drawings of Philadelphia street life for a publication, ''In Town and About''. His fame was a reflection of the company he kept, and notable people chose him to illustrate their books and magazines. A high point of Darley's career was his illustration project for the complete works of James Fenimore Cooper, involving designs for 64 steel engravings and 120 wood engravings. This led to the publication of 'The Cooper Vignettes', which showcased Cooper's works.
