Top edge gilt, darkened. Corners and spine ends a little bumped and worn, not greatly. Cloth with overall handling soiling, but no significant damage; (internally, the contents show very little indeed signs of handling). 288pp, extensively illustrated with full-page colour reproductions and sepia prints with tissue-guards, all present, clean and correct. In addition, a profusion of b/w woodcuts as vignettes and chapter heads. Text block tight, bright and clean, with no additional markings or inscriptions. CONTENTS : Introductory Criticism, Controversy and Writings on Art; CHAPTERS : I, Emotion, Art, and Frank Brangwyn; II, Some current fallacies versus the Brangwyn etchings; III, The Parallelism between Brangwyn and Legros as etchers; IV, His earliest etchings; V, Etchings-Simple landscapes and wayfaring sketches; VI, Etchings - windmills and watermills; VII, Etchings-a few bridges; VIII, Etchings-barges, boats and hulks; IX, Etchings-industry and labour; X, Architecture in the Brangwyn etchings; XI, Brangwyn, Art, and National Welfare; XII, Brangwyn, London and National Welfare; XIII, Peace and War in Brangwyn's posters; XIV, After the War-Reformation and Re-Formation - Brangwyn in relation to Labour clubs and halls; XV, Book illustration and decoration; XVI, Brangwyn woodcuts and brush drawings; XVII, Brangwyn and English water-colour; XVIII, Pastels and other designs; XIX, Brangwyn's versatility - and the World's distrust of the Versatile. As with these titles, Mr Sparrow is loathe to use one word when three will do, albeit consistently and defiantly pro-Brangwyn. The book as a whole though, is beautifully designed and made, and this copy in very nice condition. FREE POSTAGE WITHIN THE U.K. Buyers from outside the U.K. will be quoted additional Shipping cost, which, given the size and weight of the book, will be substantial.
