THE
POPULAR LIBRARY OF ART
Planned expressly for the general public. The Publishers do not hesitate in putting forward volumes on subjects which, even if handled most convincingly before, are worth repeated handling from new points of view, and they trust each volume will prove a fresh and stimulating appreciation of the subject it treats.
Each Volume about 200 pp.
Average Number of Illustrations, 45.

“A charming series. The pictures serve admirably the best purpose of book-illustration, and help the reader the better to understand the letterpress. Instructive and attractive. They deserve to be widely popular.”
“Of all the little Libraries of Art brought out at popular prices, this promises to be the best. The illustrations are extremely well chosen. The printing throughout is exceptional, and the binding is simple and appropriate.”
“Conducted on other lines than those of the many series of small books on art which the times bring forward so plentifully. In each case a critical essay which contains real criticism. Interesting and stimulating.”
