Comments from our editors:
The Guilded Age, the three decades following the Civil War, were years of astounding economic growth. It was an era in which fortunes were made and lost quickly - a period that encouraged public display of newly acquired wealth, power and prestige. The first, best and most exquisite documentation of this period was George Sheldon's Artistic Country Seats. This Dover publication is based on original material from Sheldon's volumes.
