"THIS IS AN ADMIRABLE PIECE OF WORK" —THE BOOKMAN THE ART OF EGYPT THROUGH THE AGES EDITED BY SIR DENISON ROSS A sumptuous work, lavishly illustrated from beautiful photographs specially taken, in which some of the greatest scholars of the day survey six thousand years of history THE BOOKMAN: “This is an admirable piece of work—written lucidly and concisely in every case, whether the author be the late Dr. Hall on ‘The Old Kingdom,’ Mr. Stephen Gaselee on ‘The Coptic Period,’ or Captain K. A. C. Cresswell on ‘Moslem Architecture’; and secondly because the photographs have all been selected and arranged to illustrate the various points in the letterpress. . . . Especially must we congratulate Messrs. Bell & Wainwright on their wonderful photographs of objects of the Pharaophonic periods.” REGINALD POLE THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS: “This delightful and authoritative work, with abundant illustrations.” THE ART DIGEST, New York: “This outstanding work should prove valuable to the student of Egyptology as well as important to those interested in design sources.” SUNDAY TIMES: “This outstanding, comprehensive and simply written book on Egyptian art fills a place which has sorely needed an occupant ever since the British Public began to show an interest in the art treasures of Egypt . . . a book in which some of the greatest scholars of the present day survey 6,000 years of history and four great civilisations that have flourished by the banks of the Nile.” MAJOR POLSON NEWMAN THE LISTENER: “A volume of exceptional interest . . . It is a survey of the whole evolution of Egyptian Art from prehistoric to Muhammadan times, illustrated with about 300 plates, six in colour . . . The plates are partly in photogravure, partly in half-tone, and are all of excellent quality; at two guineas the volume is a miracle of good value. But its chief claim on our attention is its comprehensiveness.” HERBERT READ Medium quarto Buckram. 42s. net OF ALL BOOKSELLERS THE STUDIO, 44 LEICESTER SQ., W.C.2

Mr. ARNOLD FLEMING, who speaks with full authority both on the aesthetic and technical aspects, discusses those elements in design, cutting, technique and material upon which the informed appreciation of the connoisseur is built. The 37 accompanying illustrations of fine British and Continental examples are selected to indicate the possibilities of GLASS IN THE HOME, upon which subject Mrs. Peake Anderson contributes a short but stimulating note from the point of view of the woman of culture to-day. Professor TANCRED BORENIUS, writing under the title of THE KALEIDOSCOPE OF TASTE, points out the wide field of possibility still open to the potential collector and shows that the discerning possessor of moderate means is in no sense debarred from the acquisition of “Old Master” pictures of fine quality. Mr. FRANK RUTTER, continues his series of definitive articles on the careers of important artists of the day, and treats upon SIR CHARLES HOLMES. In addition, there is a lucid statement of the place and significance of NEGRO SCULPTURE in the art of the world, by Mr. MICHAEL SEVIER, besides the usual Notes and Reviews. --- INFORMATION Valuable originals are usually insured while in custody of The Studio, but it must be understood that all material is sent, and received, at owner’s risk.
