Product Information

Leighton by A. Lys Baldry, Illustrated with Eight Reproductions in Colour

Masterpieces in Colour, series edited by T. Leman Hare

T.C & E.C. Jack publishers, 1910

This is one of the series from the Masterpieces in Colour series, highly-collectable and very sought after. They are charming books in their own right but have the additional merit of 8 very attractive colour plates and a narrative form of art history scholarship that was very much of its time (full of opinion, anecdote and rivetting unsubstantiated claim). Both the bold, open typeface and the attractive front cover make them aesthetically appealing and a collector's item.

I have a selection of the series listed here. If you are interested in buying more than five, please contact me as I would be happy to offer a discount.

This particular copy - Leighton - is one of the very collectable Pre-Raphaelite editions of the series.
