BEYOND DECORATION, THE ILLUSTRATIONS OF JOHN EVERETT MILLAIS.
Goldman, Paul
|
|
|
First edition. John Everett Millais is admired as one of the most celebrated of Pre-Raphaelite painters. Perhaps less known is the major contribution he made both to book and periodical illustration between 1852 and 1883. Many of these book illustrations remain little known today, largely due to the fact that they are scattered in hundreds of 19th century books and periodicals. This important new work brings together over 300 examples of Millais illustrations, enabling this part of his work to be viewed and appreciated by new generations. This work will be an important reference to any scholar interested in Victorian book illustration.
Paul Goldman was a curator in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum.

Co-Published with the Private Libraries Association and The British Library. Sales rights North and South America.

VOLTAIRE, BIBLIOGRAPHIE DE SES OEUVRES
by Bengesco, Georges
Reprint of the first edition which was published in Paris by E. Perrin over the period 1882-1890 (Besterman 6460). François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694-30 May 1778), better known by the pen name Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, essayist, deist, and philosopher known for his wit, philosophical sport, and defense of civil liberties, including freedom of religion and the right to a fair trial. He was an outspoken supporter of social reform despite strict censorship laws in France and harsh penalties for those who broke them. A satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize Christian Church dogma and the French institutions of his day. This remains a standard work on Voltaire, describing 12,500 works.
