Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. Bright, clean & tight copy, gently used & unmarked in Near Fine condition; slight fold (flattened) on back cover. "It is clearly written, well arranged, and can be read for its own sake as a compendium of the image-making faculty of Western man[kind]. I would recommend it strongly to anyone who wishes to increase [their] interest and pleasure in visiting a picture gallery or turning over the illustrations of a book on art."--Kenneth Clark. "The volume is comprehensible to interested laymen, and scholars. Entries pertain to persons, titles and pictures, and objects as attributes and symbols. Recurrent mythological, historical and religious themes are explored and allegorical, poetic, and saintly characters are also covered. Cross-references and appropriate line drawings enhance the book's value. And because the entries are succinct and really absorbing, it's fun simply to browse through this dictionary. Highly recommended."--Library Journal. NF paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.…
