Illustrated t.-p.

" ... Art is absolutely necessary to all civilised life, to all intelligent living -- that is to say, all life outside a madhouse. It is with us from the cradle to the grave. We cannot escape it. Without Art we are back again on all fours ... The artist, in the full meaning of the word, is the supreme man. It is well, therefore, to try and realise what is Art, and what is an artist."--Foreword.

Cloth boards with gold stamped lettering and design of eagles with wings spread.
