HISTORY OF ART
By Elie Faure Volume I—Ancient Art
Translated from the French by Walter Pach No History of Art fills the place of this one. It shows art to be the expression of the race, not an individual expression of the artist. It tells why and how man constructs works of art. Nearly 200 unusual and beautiful illustrations selected by the author. DEVELOPMENT OF EMBROIDERY IN AMERICA
By Candace Wheeler A history of embroidery from the quill and beadwork of the American Indians to the artistic achievement of the present. A book to delight the collector and to serve as a guide for the art student, designer, and practical worker. 32 pages of illustrations—some in full color. HOW FRANCE BUILT HER CATHEDRALS
By Elizabeth Boyle O'Reilly The Boston Herald writes: "It is a monumental work, of living interest alike to the erudite devotee of the arts and to the person who simply enjoys, in books or his travels, the wonderful and beautiful things that have come from the hand of man ... the story of the French cathedrals against a human background—of the great men and women of the time." With 31 illustrations in tint. PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION
By John D. Whiting For artists who wish to sell their work, for publishers and advertisers who buy it, and for those responsible for mechanical reproduction. It will give the artist a full knowledge of trade requirements. It will teach the art buyer what to look for and provide against in originals. It will help the photo-engraver and photographer to eliminate defects in mechanical reproduction. The author illustrates his points in 25 page plates, many in full color. HARPER & BROTHERS
