London England: Victoria and Albert Museum, 1931. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. SS-79 Paperback. Tiny tear to top edge of front cover. Many visitors to the Victoria and Albert Museum will no doubt be glad to carry away with them some general record of the onjects included in its various collections. A first attempt to select a hundred masterpieces from the whole wealth of the Departments showed that this was an almost impossible task, and it was therefore decided to divide the available material into three groups of a hundred each, the first covering Early Christian and Mediaeval, the second Renaissance and modern, and the thrid Mohammedan and Oriental art. The word Masterpiece has been employed in a liberal sense to include as many as possible of those works of art in the Museum which are at once beautiful, important and widely known. Illustrated throughout. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and… Read More

Hong Kong Koln. London. Los Angeles. Madrid. Paris: Tachen, 2005. 1000 Record Covers Excellent copy 575pp A fascinating survey of cover art Record covers are a sign of our life and times. Like the music on the discs, they address such issues as love, life, death, fashion, and rebellion. For music fans the covers are the expression of a period, of a particular time in their lives. Many are works of art and have become as famous as the music they stand for - Andy Warhol's covers, for example, including the banana he designed for The Velvet Underground. This special edition of Record Covers presents a selection of the best 60s to 90s rock album covers from music archivist, disc jockey, journalist, and ex-record publicity executive Michael Ochs's enormous private collection. Both a trip down memory lane and a study in the evolution of cover art, this is a sweeping look at an under-appreciated art form.We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical… Read More

London England: The National Gallery, 1986. Catalogue. Slightly sunned spine to cover. This catalogue deals with all the seventeenth - and eighteenth - century Italian pictures in the National Gallery; it range is approcimately from Annibale Carracci to Zuccarelli. The portion dealing with eighteenth-century pictures is in part a revision of the catalogue published in 1956, but several important pictures coming with the century have been acquired since that catalogue was published. The omission of one or two pictures previously published catalogued is explicable by their having been returned to the Victoria and Albert Museum, from which they had long been on loan. At the end of the catalogue is a list of pictures included here, as well as a list of attributions changed from earlier general catalogues. Under the biographical notices I have sometimes mentioned a work of reference but I have not attempted to provide documentation of biographical facts.
