If you have a pure love of art as I do this book has SO much to offer. While providing details on many historical masterpieces it’s also loaded with both color and black and white plates to keep you enthralled on your artistic journey. I’ve had this in my personal collection for about 25 years. It’s one I picked up at library sale where my mother worked. You can see evidence (ex libris) of such in the front where it was initially donated in memory of someone local to the area. The spine has separated at the back (photo #13) and I noticed one plate looked to have been sheared out of the book. It will have various random marks along the edges as well but overall (even with the aforementioned) it is fantastic. Could also repurpose and frame the artwork… Scarce edition. 11” x 12.5 x 1.5”. Blue cloth hardcover with dust jacket. ** Cannot be bundled due to weight.
