Great pictures as seen and described by famous writers
An anthology of art criticism compiled by Esther Singleton, published by Dodd, Mead in New York in 1900 for general readers and gallery-goers learning the canon of European painting. The 57 halftone plates reproduce old master oils in soft grey tones: robed figure groups in tiled interiors, angels in cloud and light, funeral processions under storm skies — useful for atmospheric grounds and crowd compositions.
