A substantial French art reference by noted art historian Louis Hourticq, published by Hachette in Paris in 1931. Richly illustrated throughout with hundreds of photographs and reproductions, the volume surveys the history of art from prehistory through the Renaissance, the classical period, the nineteenth century, and into the modern era.
Filled with architecture, sculpture, painting, and decorative arts, it remains an inspiring resource for artists, designers, and collectors alike. Bound in half leather with marbled paper-covered boards, raised bands, and gilt-lettered spine, the volume is as beautiful displayed on a coffee table or library shelf as it is to explore.
Origin: c. 1931; Paris, France.
Material: Half leather binding with marbled paper-covered boards.
Condition: Fair condition with wear consistent with age on spine. Expected rubbing and wear to the leather and boards, with age toning to the pages.
