Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ...STUCKI There is nothing more difficult to draw with a pen than low relief or decoration, and while Jacquemart,1 with his books made rare by limited editions, nearly always illustrated with etchings and therefore only for collectors and amateurs, gained a great reputation for himself, this man who can draw just as well and with as much feeling for light and shade and colour and the play of reflections on polished surfaces, in which lay Jacquemart's great strength, is unknown because, though he treats the same objects in the same manner, he draws them with a pen. The sole difference is that he works for the people, and Jacquemart, though himself an artistic man, catered to the collector who is usually unable to appreciate his work technically. The chasing and the roundness and the metallic feeling of this cup or chalice could not be better rendered by any other medium. Lately, notably in the Century and Harper s, there have been published drawings by Will H. Drake and Otto Bacher which are as good as this.2 Sec French Chapter for Jacquemart. Sec American Chapter. LUDWIG MAROLD Marold's work possesses more of the cleverness of half a dozen Italians, though it is not an imitation of any one of them, than that of any other German I know. The drawing in the hands of the three girls is very careless; but the simplicity of the work combined with the strong bits of colour and the character in the faces makes a whole which is very pleasing and interesting, and which certainly has a style of its own.

Seller's Description:
VG, cover yellowed with age, minor folded edges on some cover corners. White illustrated wraps, [xxix] 319 pp, 158 illustrations. From the preface--Popular illustration is the product of the nineteenth century. It has never been treated seriously, and to-day it covers such a wide field and is so many-sided that it is impossible to discuss more than one of its phases at a time. I have endeavored to show what a high standard the best illustration reaches, and to give, for purposes of study, the most notable examples from all over the world.
