Produktbeschreibung

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. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. 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. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

William Thomas Smedley was an American artist born in 1858 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, into a Quaker family. His parents' names are not widely documented, but his upbringing in a devout and disciplined environment influenced his early years. He began his artistic career working for a newspaper before pursuing formal training at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His education provided him with a strong foundation in engraving and illustration, skills that would shape his later work. Seeking to refine his artistic abilities, he traveled to Paris, where he studied under Jean-Paul Laurens, gaining exposure to European artistic traditions. Throughout his career, he became known for his detailed illustrations, contributing to publications such as Harper s Weekly. His art often depicted scenes of American life, capturing both everyday moments and historical events. Later in life, he developed an interest in literary and historical analysis, leading him to write The Mystery of Francis Bacon, in which he explored theories about the philosopher s hidden influence. He died in 1920 in Bronxville, New York, leaving behind a legacy as both an artist and a thinker whose work remains preserved in collections such as the Norman Rockwell Museum.
