APOLLO:
AN ILLUSTRATED MANUAL OF THE HISTORY OF ART THROUGHOUT THE AGES, BY SALOMON REINACH, MEMBER OF THE INSTITUTE OF FRANCE, TRANSLATED BY FLORENCE SIMMONDS
M. Reinach’s manual has been welcomed with enthusiasm in every European country. It has been translated into every civilised tongue. Never before have the treasures of all the great galleries been laid under such contribution, and thus M. Reinach’s book claims a distinctive place among students’ manuals. The new edition has been revised and corrected throughout by the author with the utmost care. Some new illustrations have been added, certain unsatisfactory blocks have been replaced by new ones, and the bibliographies have been expanded and brought up to date. Interpolations in the text in connection with English works of art or artistic possessions are added by the translator and approved by the author.
“To criticise it would be much the same as to criticise one’s ‘Bradshaw’—it is unique and it is a necessity.”—Bookman.
