British pictures and their painters: an anecdotal guide to the British section of the National gallery
An anecdotal gallery guide to the British paintings in London's National Gallery, written by essayist E. V. Lucas and published by Macmillan in New York in 1913 for museum visitors and general readers. The plates are halftone reproductions of oil paintings — coastal and estuary views, wooded lanes with figures, cattle at water, storm-lit skies — printed soft and grainy in warm grey, useful as atmospheric landscape backdrops, tonal skies, and blurred silhouette shapes.
