This magnificent two-volume set was the first to provide details of the 42 paintings that art collector and chemist Dr. Ludwig Mond (1839-1909) bequeathed to the National Gallery in London. Includes photogravures and half-tone illustrations, crisp and clear behind tissue guards, which are accompanied by extensive commentary on the works themselves. A terrific resource, and uncommon, at any price.
