Thomas Jefferson, artist, botanist, president, renaissance man, literary genius and generally the most interesting man to study in history. For the first time at LULU, an excellent overview of Mr. Jefferson from his own writings that were compiled during the time of his lifetime and published in the late 18th century. Very readable and at times poignant, funny and spot on when Mr. Jefferson puts his able pen to comment on the turbulent and heady times of our Founding Fathers.

Maria Cosway, Italian born artist who captured the heart of American Minister to France, Thomas Jefferson in 1786 while he was abroad. Mrs. Cosway was a well known miniaturist painter married to Richard Cosway (also a famous miniaturist). This Modern Lulu First Edition is an artists catalog of both the works of Maria Cosway and her foppish husband Richard. To understand Thomas Jefferson you only have to read his 'Head & Heart' letter he wrote to Mrs. Cosway and the picture (in miniature of course) comes clear.
