PITMAN'S NEW ART BOOKS By ARTISTS whose work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Paris Salon, International Society, New Gallery, Pastel Society, &c. The Art of LANDSCAPE PAINTING By Leonard Richmond, R.O.I., R.B.A. Joint Author of "The Technique of Water-Colour Painting," and "The Art of Painting in Pastel." Landscape Art has competently changed from the old regime, and Artists are seeking fresh grounds which lead to self-expression in pictorial language. Mr. Richmond co-ordinates theory and practice in a simple but effective manner, and it is safe to say that no other book on landscape art is so fully qualified to instruct the potential artist and to assist the artist who has already achieved recognition to climb a step higher in his career. WATER COLOUR, OILS, and PASTEL are discussed in connection with landscape, and the explanations are freely illustrated throughout with beautiful colour plates which will appeal very strongly to all lovers of landscape art. A BEAUTIFUL BOOK—Size 10½ ins. by 8 ins., cloth gilt, with 35 FULL-PAGE COLOUR PLATES and many other illustrations 25/- net Detailed Prospectives, with Specimen Plates, will be sent post free on request. SIR ISAAC PITMAN & SONS, LIMITED PARKER STREET, KINGSWAY, LONDON, W.C. 2 FOYLE'S SPECIAL OFFERS The History of Painting By Prof. Muther. The development of European painting up to the early nineteenth century. This treatise explains from the psychology (so to speak) of each period its dominant style, and interprets works of art as "human documents." The great styles are for Prof. Muther the necessary outcome of the intellectual and religious tendencies of the age. Proceeding from the age to the individual he interprets the works of the artist as the expression of his psychological development. At the same time, he gives an insight into the technical qualities of the great masters, but he presents neither biographies of artists nor descriptions of their pictures. With numerous half-tone illustrations. In 2 vols. Green cloth. Pubd £2 2s. Some copies offered, in brand new condition, at 21s. post free. Ancient and Mediæval Architecture By Pignatorre. A concise and comprehensive treatise for the non-professional, with a unique, useful Glossary of Classic Architectural Terms. The illustrations, 131 in number, have been selected from typical specimens of various Architectonic Styles. Imperial 4to. Cloth. Pubd. 21s. Some copies offered, in brand new condition, at 10s. 6d. (postage 6d.) Living Anatomy By Cecil Burns, R.B.A., and Robert Colenso, M.D. Forty Plates in portfolio to supplement treatises on Art Anatomy. A convenient means of reference for painters, modellers and designers. In treatises there is often a want of variety in the poses of the figures, a single view only being given of each. Most of the poses in Burns's and Colenso's plates are shown from several points of view, and they are sufficiently numerous to comprise a large proportion of the principal actions seen in nature. The figures are all photographs from the living model. Pubd. 7s. 6d. net. Some sets offered, in brand new condition, at 5s., postage 9d. All above sent on approval.

J. RENIER Demy 4to. £2 12s. 6d. net This is the first detailed work on this Dutch Master to be published in this country. The magnificent reproductions in photogravure are works of art in themselves. OLD SHIP PRINTS By E. KEBLE CHATTERTON With 15 Illustrations in colour and 95 in black and white from old naval prints. Demy 4to. £2 2s. net Also a Special Edition on hand-made paper with three extra plates in photogravure, hand-printed in colour, limited to 125 numbered copies. £5 5s. net Mr. Kebie Chatterton in this comprehensive work traces the ship from the earliest woodcuts up to the end of the nineteenth century. The text is full of information, but the illustrations, selected from the wonderful Macpherson collection, are the real glory of the work. Probably no volume has ever held so comprehensive a collection of nautical prints, illustrating almost every phase of the romance and form of ships throughout the centuries.—Daily Mail.
