- N. C. Wyeth: The Collected Paintings, Illustrations and Murals by Douglas Allen
- About the Book: “More than 300 four-color and black-and-white illustrations by one of America’s preeminent painters are collected here, along with illuminating text from the artist’s letters, magazine articles about his work, and many other sources. The result: a fully realized portrait of a “golden age” illustrator whose work appeared in then Saturday Evening Post, a classic edition of Treasure Island, and elsewhere for 42 years.”
