The Birthday-Book of Art and Artists. Compiled and Edited by Estelle Davenport Adams, Editor of “Rose Leaves,” “Flower and Leaf,” etc.
| “Mrs. Adams’ pleasant Birthday Book you eagerly will con.”—Punch. | “Altogether it is a birthday book to be coveted.”—Scotsman. |
| “Birthday books we have seen in abundance, but this bears away the palm.”—Guernsey Mail. | “The book may really be very useful, and concludes with an excellent index.”—Saturday Review. |
| “Estelle Davenport Adams has bestowed infinite trouble on her ‘Birthday Book of Art and Artists,’ which is quite an artistic encyclopædia on a small scale.”—Graphic. | “Mrs. Davenport Adams has combined in miniature something of a catalogue of art, a biographical dictionary of artists, and a dictionary of artistic criticism, and has thereby done a thing which may be of some service.”—World. |
| “Few of the infinite variety of birthday books have been planned more ingeniously, or to more useful purpose, than this, which ought to secure a large share of the popularity lavished on these pretty manuals.”—Glasgow Herald. | “Quite a dictionary of dates as to the birthdays of eminent artists, for, besides those whose names are allotted to the days of the year, there is a supplementary list. The quotations are well made. The book itself is a work of art.”—Sword and Trowel. |
| “A handy little book for those persons who take note of birthdays, either for the giving or taking of presents.”—Athenæum. |
