Breal, Auguste. Velazquez, tr. by Mme. Simon Bussy. [*]75c; lea. [*]$1. Dutton.
This volume declares itself to be merely an invitation to visit Madrid and see the works of the great Spanish painter, but it also serves as an inspiration for the journey. There are many illustrations.
“He does succeed in giving a clear idea of the nature of Velazquez’s genius, of what he was, and what he was not, together with all that is necessary of biographical information regarding an entirely uneventful life. Mme Bussy is as accurate as readable.”
