About This Item
Crown Publishers, 1946. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 346 pages, with chronological index of the works. Chronological description of the works by the editor, interspersed with biographical notes. 4to (9-1/8" x 12-1/4"), beige cloth with red lettering, boards soiled and worn with losses to backstrip, which has been reglued to prevent further damage, faded red topstain, end papers foxed and age-tanned. Name of former owner written in pencil on first free end paper. Underscoring and/or marginalia on approximately five pages in the index and text section. Despite the beat-up exterior, the art reproductions are clean and beautiful. The book was a gift to (later Professor) Ann Evans (Berthoff) from her friend the harpsichordist Eugenia Earle. Laid in are two clippings: from the TLS in 1971, a review of several books about and collections of Dürer; London Review of Books 2003 on a Dürer exhibition at the British Museum.
