A history of painting... / with a preface by Frank Brangwyn
Haldane Macfall's eight-volume survey of painting, published in Boston by Dana Estes in 1911 with a preface by Frank Brangwyn, aimed at general readers and art students. The plates are colour reproductions of oil paintings, here French eighteenth-century work by Watteau, Boucher and Greuze: garden gatherings, courting couples, girls at fountains, useful for period costume, foliage backdrops and muted rose-and-gold palettes.
