About this copy
One Hundred Details from Pictures in the National Gallery, with an Introduction and Notes by Kenneth Clark. Printed for the Trustees of the National Gallery, London, 1938. A beautifully produced large-format volume that invites the reader to look again at great paintings.
Kenneth Clark's introduction and notes guide you through a hundred close-up details, from saints and angels to a portrait by Rubens and a cat from Hogarth's Graham Children, revealing the craft and character hidden in each canvas. It is a classic of art-appreciation publishing and a delight for anyone who loves the National Gallery. A handsome hardback in its original green cloth binding, with clean, bright plates throughout.
Book: Good - A solid, tight binding with sound hinges and a clean green cloth cover. The pages are clean and the plates are crisp. Light foxing to the endpapers and page edges, a small blue ink inscription to the front free endpaper, and some minor soiling to the cloth.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
