Soft cover. Condizione: Good. Here is "The Art Bulletin" for June 1951, being Volume XXXIII, No. 2. It is a scholarly quarterly periodical with contributions by numerous universities, colleges, and museum collections. Many of its issues were originally destined for institutional collections; thus it is a lucky stroke of luck to find any unbound, original issue on the market.
