July 11, 1953 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information regarding several books. The book "Thomas Carlyle: Letters to His Wife," edited by Trudy Bliss. Many of these letters published in the book, cover some four hundred closely printed pages in the English edition, and have been published for the first time. The book "Roman Painting," by Amedeo Maiuri Skira offers fully representative selection of work reproduced in good color plates, of which there are eighty-four in the present volume. Within the general framework of Roman art, however, Maiuri makes clear the historical development from pre-Roman funerary traditions to the cumulative discovery of the visible world.
