BEAUTIFUL BOOKS ILLUSTRATED IN COLOUR BY MORTIMER MENPES

JAPAN WITH 100 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR Price 20s. Net The Times.—"Mr. Menpes's pictures are here given in most perfect facsimile, and they form altogether a series of colour impressions of Japan which may fairly be called unrivalled. Even without the narrative they would show that Mr. Menpes is an enthusiast for Japan, her art and her people; and very few European artists have succeeded in giving such complete expression to an admiration in which all share."

INDIA WITH 75 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR Price 20s. Net The Evening Standard.—"This sumptuous book is the result of an ideal collaboration, for the artist is at his best with colour schemes and atmospheric impressions, such as we find in his famous 'Japan' and 'Durbar' books; while Mrs. Steel has not only the saving grace of imagination, but is able by the sympathy and wise knowledge gained by a long residence in India to write a text of more than ordinary charm."

THE DURBAR WITH 100 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR Price 20s. Net Morning Post.—"This splendid book will be accepted by all as the best realisation of an epoch-making ceremony that we are ever likely to get." The Academy.—"Unquestionably the best pictorial representation of the Durbar which has appeared." The Globe.—"Likely to be the most brilliant and lasting record of the historical occasion."

VENICE WITH 100 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR Price 20s. Net The King.—"Within the last few years the industry of contemporary writers, some with and others without a genuine sympathy for their subject, has helped us to glimpses of the Queen of the Adriatic, through the spectacles of art, history, archæology, poetry, and romance; but the Magnum Opus of Mortimer Menpes embraces to a great degree all five points of view, and persuades us that at last (and that not a day too soon) the stones of Venice have found at once a painter and a writer equally worthy of the vanished glories, the memories of which still cling to every church, palace, or bridge drawn or described in this charming work."

BRITTANY WITH 75 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR Price 20s. Net Pall Mall Gazette.—"It is of course the picturesque aspects of Brittany that appeal to Mr. Menpes.... Whether he paints cottage interiors or peasant types, straggling village streets and coast-town alleys, or a market-place bustling and baking in the sunshine, it is all one to his graceful pencil; and reproduced, as the drawings are, by his own colour-process, they make another of those many charming albums of travel which Messrs. Black have made a special province of their own."

WORLD PICTURES WITH 500 ILLUSTRATIONS (50 IN COLOUR) Price 20s. Net The Scotsman.—"Mr. Menpes has been a wanderer over the face of the earth armed with brush and pencil, and he has brought back with him portfolios filled with samples of the colour and sunshine, and of the life and form, quaint or beautiful, of the most famous countries of the East and of the West, and his charming book is a kind of album into which he has gathered the cream of an artist's memories and impressions of the many countries he has visited and sketched in."

THE WORLD'S CHILDREN WITH 100 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR Price 20s. Net The Times.—"Of the cleverness, both of the pictures and letterpress, there can be no doubt. Miss Menpes's short papers on the children of different lands are full of insight, human and fresh experience; and Mr. Menpes's 100 pictures ... are above all remarkable for their extraordinary variety of treatment, both in colour scheme and in the pose and surroundings of the subject."

WAR IMPRESSIONS WITH 99 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR Price 20s. Net Daily Telegraph.—"One hardly knows which to admire the more—the skill of the artist or the skill with which his studies have been reproduced, for the colours of the originals are shown with marvellous fidelity, and the delicate art of the impressionist loses nothing in the process. The book, therefore, is a double triumph, and will therefore be prized by collectors."

WHISTLER AS I KNEW HIM WITH 125 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR AND TINT Price 40s. Net Haldane Macfall in The Academy.—"No one who loves the Art of Whistler should be without this handsome book; it contains works of Art of exquisite beauty; it contains a delightful picture of the outward Whistler that the man himself wished to be mistaken for the real thing—half butterfly, half wasp, wholly laughing enigma." The Observer.—"A singularly illuminating and intimate monograph."

REMBRANDT WITH 16 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR Price 12s. 6d. Net Aberdeen Free Press.—"The illustrations are magnificent examples of the perfection to which reproduction in colour is carried by Mr. Menpes, and the book as a whole is of very special interest." British Weekly.—"An invaluable collection of superb reproductions of Rembrandt's work. The book is a most desirable possession."
