This pamphlet once belonged to the New York architect Alexander Jackson Davis (1893–1902). An etched frontispiece of "The Farmers Nooning," after a painting by William Sidney Mount, advertizes the subject of the large engraving that the Apollo Association chose in 1842 to have made for distribution to its subscriber-members. Thirty-one pages of text summarize the proceedings of a recent annual meeting. Founded in 1838, the organization would merge with the American Art-Union in 1844 and adopt the latter's name.
