By the same Author, and uniform with “THOSE HOLY FIELDS.”
Italian Pictures.
Drawn with Pen and Pencil. Profusely Illustrated. Imperial 8vo. 8_s._
cloth elegant.
“The more we turn over the pages of this book the more we like it. Italy
is the theme of a great deal of fine writing and fine painting, but the
plain descriptions and accurate drawings here really tell us more about
it than a library of inspired poems, and a gallery of ideal
painting.”—_Times._
“An extremely beautiful and interesting book.”—_Daily News._
“The result of keen observation and considerable reading, it is a very
charming volume. It contains, in an unusual degree, the information of a
handbook, and the attractiveness of a drawing-room album.”—_British
Quarterly Review._
“Not less interesting than was either of the corresponding
volumes.”—_Standard._
Spanish Pictures.
Drawn with Pen and Pencil. With Illustrations by GUSTAVE DORÉ and other
eminent
Artists. Imperial 8vo. 8_s._ cloth elegant.
“Another book about Spain, and a capital one: more distinctly calculated
to catch the attention of persons on the look-out for present-books, and
yet at the same time of solid merit.”—_Literary Churchman._
“The pen is that of the author of ‘Swiss Pictures’; one of the pencils
is Gustave Doré’s, and the others are not unworthy to be associated with
his. It therefore follows that the letterpress is pleasant reading, and
that many of the sketches are of the highest excellence.”—_Times._
“A most exquisite book. It abounds with illustrations (some by Gustave
Doré) of the most striking scenes, buildings, and social manners of the
Peninsula, and realises in a series of brilliant and attractive pictures
the romance, poetry, beauty, and inexpressible charms of the land of
‘Don Quixote.’”—_Daily News._
Swiss Pictures.
Drawn with Pen and Pencil. With numerous Illustrations by WHYMPER and
others.
Imperial 8vo. 8_s._ cloth elegant.
“In this third edition there are so many additions and improvements,
that this very beautiful volume is still more attractive and beautiful
than before.”—_Standard._
“Its numerous wood-engravings are all of great excellence, charming as
pictures, and admirable as examples of Art. The book contains an immense
amount of information, conveyed by the pen and the pencil; for the
author, too, has done his work thoroughly well.”—_Art Journal._
