February 12, 1880 issue

add to cart   close window

This article discusses various books on fine arts. It discusses a large collection of woodcuts of buildings and parts of buildings, statues and groups, paintings and pieces of decorative design, but without text by way of analysis, discussion, or even detailed description; there are illustrations to a book that has not been written. The book pretends to be nothing more than pieces prepared for dictation to pupils. It is only to be wished that the stories had been selected for their bearing on art itself, or as characteristic of an artist or of a school, and also as probably true instead of merely legendary.
