small 4to., 160pp., with 88 illustrations, 39 in colour, with chronology & index, orig. cloth gilt. A fine clean copy in a fine pictorial dustwrapper. The Armada launched by Philip II in 1588 was the greatest fleet the world had ever seen. Its goal was the invasion of England. Steadfastly blocking its way, Queen Elizabeth I's navy was new and untried, but among its commanders was Francis Drake, a daring and brilliant military tactitian.The events that followed heralded a turning-point in the history of Europe.

Cloth, 4to, 31 cm, 16 pp,48 pp of plates From the blurb: "Stylistic and formal concerns were of secondary importance to Magritte, whose main interest was in ideas or propositions :about the world; for example, many of his paintings explore the relation between objects and words, or between the image of an object and the object itself. He deliberately cultivated a cold, unemotive, 'styleless' style, by which such concerns could be most directly conveyed to the spectator. This quality renders the images of violence and macabre sexuality in some of his works all the more disturbing. M any of the illustrations in this book have been specially photographed from paintmgs in the 1979 Magritte exhibition in Paris. They represent the whole of his career, with particular emphasis on the early years, when many of his best ideas were conceived." A volume in the Phaidon Colour Plate Series. Near Very Good in slightly used and price-clipped dustwrapper.

Laminated illustrated wrappers, 4to, 29 cm, 80 pp, 70 ills, 28 in colour. From the blurb: "The British Library houses one of the world's great collections of illuminated manuscripts. And Janet Backhouse has drawn on this rich resource to make a selection of outstanding examples that span over 800 years of medieval book production. She begins with an early Christian masterpiece, the Lindisfarne Gospels, and continues with a representative cross-section that reveals the remarkable variety and richness to be found in medieval manuscripts." Wrappers a little creased, otherwise Good.

Cloth, gilt cover-title, 4to, 30 cm, 85 pp, 150 ills, including 7 colour plates. 418 entries. From the blurb: "This first volume in the series of Catalogues of English drawings in the Royal Library is devoted entirely to the large collection, numbering about 450, of watercolours and studies by Paul and Thomas Sandby. Chief among these is the unrivalled group shewing the Castle and vicinity before the alterations made early in the 19th century, but there are also interesting drawings of the Duke of Cumberland's campaigns, lively views of London and a large collection of figure studies which present Paul Sandby in an unfamiliar but even more charming aspect. The volume contains a detailed catalogue and introduction by Mr. A. P. Oppé, which bring to light much new material and for the first time attempt a close analysis of the Sandbys' work."

Cloth, large oblong 8vo, 128 pp, numerous ills (some colour). From the blurb: "The social and economic impact of the railway in the first years of its development . from 1825 to 1850 was enormous. Viewed as a major civilizing force, the railway carved its way across the landscape, linking towns and the surrounding countryside and contributing to the growth of a sense of national identity. Millions of pounds were spent on its construction and millions of people owed their livelihood directly or indirectly to it. Not surprisingly, its progress and achievements were celebrated in aquatints, engravings and lithographs, which provide a visual record not only of the technology of the early railway but also of the social changes it brought about. These prints were immensely popular with the Victorian public and reflect contemporary belief in progress, and pride in the great engineering feats of the day. Great tunnels, embankments, cuttings and viaducts are depicted as heroic accomplishments rather than as raw scars on the face of Britain. Stations are generally sunny and bright, crowds orderly and enthusiastic. Encouraged by the railway companies, the artists adopted an air of confidence and optimism inviting the viewer to wonder and to admire, and to forget the spoliation of the landscape and the homes demolished - as many as 4,000 for St Pancras Station and its approach lines alone."

Cloth, 4to, 29 cm, 80 pp, 70 ills, 28 in colour. From the blurb: "The first manuscript featured here is the priceless Lindisfarne Gospels. It was written and illuminated at the end of the seventh century, when Europe was still largely heathen and the British Isles were on the outer limit of the known world. The last colour plate shows a map of the New World and dates from about a thousand years later when Europe was going through Reformation and Counter-Reformation. It is easy to forget that paintings in manuscripts far outnumber all other types of painting and decoration during this period. They are vital witnesses to the development of European art, but they were always conceived as book illustrations and always intimately connected with a text. Janet Backhouse also points out that illumination was a craft rather than an art in the twentieth- century sense, and that by the thirteenth century the production of books was a professional business. The popular belief that all manuscripts were made by monks toiling away in draughty cloisters can only be true of the early Middle Ages. The technicalities of manuscript production are clearly explained: the vellum for a single volume of the great Carolingian or Romanesque Bibles may be thought of in terms of a flock of between two and three hundred sheep. But it is the illuminations themselves and their variety both in style and content that are so amazing. All the plates, which are drawn from Bibles, Psalters, Bestiaries, Book of Hours, Lives of Saints, Romances and many other sources, are selected from the magnificent collection of the British Library."

Cloth, 4to, 30 x 23 cm, 25 pp, 82 plates (some colour, some mounted). From the introduction: "Spencer paints few portraits, though some of his finest work is to be found among them; as for instance the masterly self-portrait (plate 8) which he painted just after he had left the Slade. But it is Cookham with its fields and gardens, its river and cottages, that he sought to portray with the hand of devotion; and because they are a part of Cookham he will paint the most commonplace semi-detached villas as if they were stars worn in the hair of the beloved. As a lover identifies himself with the object of his affections, so the early landscapes are as revealing of Spencer as any self-portrait could be. In them there is such humility and reverence that they seem not to belong to our sophisticated age. But as the years went by he became more detached from his landscape paintings; his canvases of late years are less personal. Yet in them one detects much of the man beneath the now conventional idiom. He is without doubt the most facile landscape painter of our day, and his skill and swiftness are all part of his extraordinary endowment. " Covers slightly rubbed, Good.

Cloth, 4to, 31 x 23 cm, 26 pp, 92 ills (including 4 colour, mounted). From the introduction: "Paradoxically it is sixty-six year old John who, to a greater degree than any other British painter alive, exhibits the impetuosity and confidence of youth. Since his student days he has had immense technical resources at his command. The early possession of such resources decisively affected his development, for, able generally to realize any aim he sets himself, he has never felt the need for elaborate planning or for the cultivation of an esoteric taste; still less (in spite of possessing an intellect of exceptional range and power) of protective aesthetic theories, on which many of his younger contemporaries rely. Generally unhampered then by technical obstacles, John's art has developed freely, and it reveals with singular completeness the artist's personality." Rear board a little rubbed, Good.

From the blurb: "The Lindisfarne Gospels, a manuscript produced in the Northumbrian island monastery of Lindisfarne at the end of the seventh century, in honour of Saint Cuthbert, is one of the world's masterpieces of book painting. It is a precious relic of early Christianity in England, and one of the nation's greatest treasures. This is the first book to make the chief glories of the Lindisfarne Gospels accessible to a wide public. All the important illuminated pages are reproduced in colour from a new and accurate set of photographs. In her introductory chapters Janet Backhouse tells the story of Lindisfarne and of Saint Cuthbert, and describes how the manuscript was made. A sequence of the great illuminated pages is then followed by an absorbing account of their relationship to earlier and contemporary works of art. The final chapter traces the history of the manuscript right up to the present day." Fine in price-clipped dustwrapper.
