Whatever the BRITISH MUSEUM and the METROPOLITAN the LOUVRE and the UFFIZI the PRADO, the EREMITAGE and the KAISER-FRIEDRICH-MUSEUM whatever treasures of art the less known small galleries and private collections contain, all of them are brought into your home by the Propyläen-Kunstgeschichte (Propylæn History of Art), the “museum in the library”, which in addition contains reproductions of the most noteworthy buildings and monuments in all parts of the world, and of the finest products of all the arts and crafts. Its 16 volumes represent the entire range of the artistic production of all times and nations, from the primitive drawings of cave-dwellers to Picasso. Each volume includes from 400 to 500 illustrations (mostly full-page), making about 9000 illustrations for the complete work. Each volume covers a full period of art and is obtainable separately. Each volume begins with about 100 pages of introductory text from the pens of the most famous German scholars of art (Wilhelm v. Bode, Max J. Friedländer, etc.); but, to quote the Observer, “there are five pages of illustrations to every page of text, so that those who cannot read German, are not debarred from instructed enjoyment.” A volume of the Propyläen-Kunstgeschichte is the most beautiful present you can give to yourself and to others, a book to which the reader will revert again and again in order to wander through a world of beauty. Moreover, such a volume is comparatively inexpensive, for, to quote the Kunstwart, “considering the price of about RM 50 (£2.10/0) per volume each illustration costs only 10 pfennigs (1¹⁄₄d.), the result being in every way a really cheap collection”. Should you not yet know the Propyläen-Kunstgeschichte and should your bookseller be unable, for the moment, to show you a specimen copy, kindly write to the PROPYLÄEN-VERLAG BERLIN SW 68, GERMANY AD.
