[*] Addison, Mrs. Julia de Wolf. Art of the National gallery: a critical survey of the schools and painters as represented in the British collection. [**]$2. Page.
“A plan of the gallery, showing the location of the different schools, follows the index. The pictures are discussed in the text as they are hung,—that is according to schools in their historic order ... the limitation in space and particularly in number of illustrations precludes this manual’s being a complete history of any school. It is rather a guide to the treasures of the gallery, almost every picture being at least briefly mentioned.” (Dial.) The author’s method is descriptive rather than technically critical. The volume contains nearly fifty illustrations in duo-gravure.
[*] “A book that will be particularly welcome to those who are contemplating a visit to London’s art treasures, but one that has also plenty to offer the general reader.”
