London/ New York: Duckworth & Co./E. P. Dutton, [1905]. First edition. Holbien (c.?1497 - 1543) was a German and Swiss artist and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style [Wiki]. Like his earlier artists' studies, this one is published in the "Popular Library of Art" series (later printing copies are in the "Masters of Painting" series). Original red cloth with top edge gilt, and gilt design and lettering on front and spine. Harvey [A15] calls for a limp green-leather binding and notes a copy in red cloth. Based on publisher's ads, we believe the leather was a special binding and that the standard issue cloth (and presumably paper) boards were available in various colors. Spine slightly faded otherwise near fine. From the collection of Ford scholar Thomas C. Moser with his penciled signature to the front endpaper.

Holbein is perhaps best known as the court painter of Henry VIII, but before he moved to England, this sixteenth-century German artist was a celebrated portraitist and painter of religious scenes and altar pieces. Focusing on a particularly fertile period in Holbein's career, this book features paintings, drawings and sketches that the artist completed in Basle, Switzerland. There, Holbein's talent blossomed as he was awarded numerous commissions to paint the leading figures of the Reformation, including Erasmus of Rotterdam. In fact, it was Erasmus who recommended him for a position in London. Scholarly essays and a brief biography reflect the latest research on the life and work of this important artist.
