Good condition overall.; The famous Hindson collection of Netsuke, sold at Sotheby's in a series of seven sales between 1967 and 1969, is the mos important and all-embracing of its kind ever to have come up for auction. The sales led to a greatly increased international interest in this Japanese miniature art form. Neil K. Davey, who has been responsible for the documenting and cataloguing of Sotheby's Japanese sales for over twelve years, has founded his book on the information he acquired while working on the items in the M.T. Hindson collection. He has supplemented this information with a considerable amount of further material based on other collections, so that the coverage of Netsuke is more complete than that of any other book previously published on the subject. He surveys 1,300 representative pieces in two main sections; in the first section the signed Netsuke are dealt with, divided into different schools; in the second section the unsigned and unattributable Netsuke are categorized by subject matter. Both are fully illustrated with over 1,200 and some illustrations of the artist's actual signatures. Full details of artists, schools and subjects are given. The introduction describes the general background of Netsuke and comments on materials, techniques and terminology. The book includes a glossary of Japanese terms, and an index of all known Netsuke artists, with facts about the type of work for which they are recognized and their names in Japanese characters, where the artist is known.; Reviews of the First Edition: "Such a comprehensive work with every item illustrated, some with signature details as well, will make this a standard reference for many years to came". Museums Journal.; "Mr Davey's book is more than an ordinary art book: it is a rich source of information and will be used by Netsuke collectors as an encyclopedia." Times Literary Supplement.; "The serious collector will find this volume a welcome addition to his library." Antiques Monthly.

Today (1954) nobody doubts that Daumier is one of the great masters of French art. In these fifty-eight drawings of charcoal, pen, and chalk, we recognize the artistic genius of the man who was revered by Rousseau and Daubigny, whose work was bought by Corot, and whose drawings were analyzed with the most passionate interest by Baudelaire. Ingres used to hide himself every Thursday from his pupils so he could take time to admire Daumier's newest caricature at the nearest bookseller. He is known to the public as a fierce satirist who, with a few strokes of his pen, demolishes jury, hypocritical advocate, and conceited judge alike; but in this book we find him also in his leisure time when he creates those little-known drawings which contain the most essential factors of his art. Today we are beginning to understand this -- that he has created Realism ten years earlier than Corot and Impressionism twenty years before Monet. Here, in his charcoal drawings, his rich imagination changes from velvet-blacks to silver-greys, and he underlines the contrast of the tones so that the charcoal becomes as varied as crayon. The pen in Daumier's inspired hands shows a similar agility. Everything moves before our eyes. Here are the people in their everyday lives and motions -- the mother indolently suckling a child while she is blowing on her soup spoon, a housewife looking for bargains in the market place, beer drinkers arguing politics under a shady tree, tight-rope walkers moving their belongings -- their gay costumes in tragic contrast to their abject poverty. He has tenderness and pity for the common people, but he also shows them up for their stupidity and maliciousness in such drawings as Third-Class Carriage. But he reserves most of his venom for members of the propertied classes -- The Amateur smiling knowingly at the Venus of Milo; the three judges listening avidly to the tale of a small innocent in the picture In Cam era; Moliere's Malade Imaginaire in a grimace of hypochondriac suffering. For anyone who understands superb craftsmanship and does not mind laughing at the foibles of his fellow-men, and perhaps his own, here is a book of inexhaustible enjoyment. Contents: Foreword ( Preface) by Clark Roger-Marx, Introduction by Jean Adhemar, Biography (Single-page timeline), Bibliography, Notes on the Plates, and Plates (58).
