This catalogue is an important document of the work of the Glasgow School of Painting, a rarity and very scarce on the market. There are 3 listed currently with online sellers at £350 each (see ABE Books and search this title with Fine Art Society as author)! Sadly there are not enough millionaire Glasgow School collectors to go around and this one is offered at a more realistic price...

The condition is Good, the front cover showing shelfwear with wear to outer front edge and spine. The bindings are very sound and tight and internally it is Very Good, the illustrations clear, clean and unmarked. The onion-skin frontispiece and endpiece are intact.

Price: £40.00
