The Spectator says:—“The drawings are executed with much skill; and the chromo-lithographic process is here employed with delicacy and success. Mr. Palgrave’s notes are pertinent and instructive. His Introduction is able and eloquent.”
The Academy says:—“This is a very beautiful book, and the chromo-lithographs with which it is adorned, or rather, which are illustrated by the text, reflect great credit on the care and skill of all concerned in their production.”
The Athenæum says:—“By way of preface, a highly intelligent and critical essay on the growth, aims, and developments of religious art in Italy by Mr. F. T. Palgrave. Each well-weighed and thoughtful sentence is worth reading. The general purport of the book is well represented by the title. Mr. Palgrave vouches for the beauty of the drawings made by Mr. Goodall, from which the chromo-lithographs were taken.... A very ambitious effort has been extremely successful.”
The Portfolio says:—“The eloquent and informing preface and the critical notes on the pictures, by Mr. F. T. Palgrave, are addressed to an adult and cultured audience.... The literary part of the volume deserves more careful consideration than is usually accorded to letterpress penned to accompany even high-class illustrations.”
The Art Journal says:—“A work which should be the most popular, as it must be the handsomest, of Christmas books bearing a religious character.... Twenty-four wonderful little chromo-lithographs from drawings made on the spot.... The volume is in every way a beautiful one.”
