ONE HUNDRED CARTOONS BY CESARE
_IMPORTANT ART BOOKS_
Published by SMALL, MAYNARD & COMPANY
ONE HUNDRED CARTOONS BY CESARE
Brilliant and powerful interpretations of our times, by the man whose recent change from the _New York Sun_ to the _New York Evening Post_ gave the latter newspaper opportunity to congratulate itself on the good fortune which had enabled it, when for the first time in its history it decided to add a cartoonist to its regular staff, to obtain the services of the ablest cartoonist in America. Cesare is more than a cartoonist: he is an artist, and is known as such throughout this country, while his work is reprinted in European periodicals more often than that of any other American cartoonist. His greatness lies in his genius as an artist as well as in the strength of the ideas that his drawings express.
4to, boards, net, =$3.00=. Also, _edition de luxe_, printed on Japan vellum, limited to 105 copies, each numbered and signed by the artist, net =$7.50=
ART By Auguste Rodin
Translated from the French of PAUL GSELL by Mrs. ROMILLY FEDDEN
“A faithful reproduction by Paul Gsell of conversations with Rodin, showing his direct practical attitude towards life and the meaning of art, and repeating his interesting observations and ideas on such special phases as realism, nature, movement, thought and mystery in art. A notable and unique work. Of the 106 beautiful illustrations in half-tone and photogravure, 67 reproduce Rodin’s work."--AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION _Booklist_.
8vo. With a frontispiece in photogravure and 105 other illustrations. Buckram, net, =$3.50=; three-quarter levant, net, =$7.50=. _Also_, large-paper edition, with 8 illustrations in photogravure and 98 in half-tone. Buckram, net, =$7.50=; three-quarter levant, net, =$15.00=.
JAN VERMEER OF DELFT By Philip L. Hale
“At last we have a book in English on Vermeer--an extremely valuable, popular account. We get from such a book as this not only an interpretation of a particular artist’s art, but also of the art of painting in general. Writing about Vermeer in _The Outlook_ some years ago, Mr. E. V. Lucas called him ‘the rarest and most fastidious of masters.’ After reading Mr. Hale’s book one feels anew the justice of that statement."--_Outlook._
“The most elaborate stylistic analysis ever applied to any artist."--_Nation._
Large 8vo. With reproductions in color, in photogravure and in half-tone of all of Vermeer’s known works, together with examples of the work of some of his contemporaries. Buckram, net, =$10.00=; three-quarter levant, net, =$20.00=.
LEONARDO DA VINCI By Jens Thiis
“A beautiful and original book which deserves the extravagant praise that it is worthy of its subject. The most vital of recent contributions to the comprehension of Leonardo. It is a magnificent collection of great pictures and drawings, for not only Leonardo but all his contemporaries are exquisitely represented in it."--_Pall Mall Gazette_ (London).
Large 4to. With 277 illustrations reproduced in tints and in black and white. Edition limited to 250 copies. Buckram, net, =$12.00=; three-quarter levant, net, =$24.00=.
CHURCH BUILDING (_New and Enlarged Edition_)

LELY AND THE STUART PORTRAIT PAINTERS
_A Study of English Portraiture Before and After Van Dyck._
By C. H. Collins Baker
More than a hundred collections, including the finest private galleries of England, were, by the courtesy of their owners, made available for the study which the author gave to the preparation of this extraordinary work, which covers English portraiture (omitting Van Dyck because he has already been so frequently studied) from 1603 to 1723, or from Holbein to Hogarth.
Two volumes. Large Crown 4to. With 240 illustrations, of which eight are in color and the others in collotype. Of the edition of 375 numbered copies (350 only for sale) printed on special rag paper for the Medici Society, of London, 50 are reserved for the United States. Three-quarter levant. Per set, net, =$60.00=.
