Hart Benton belonged to the last generation of artists who
considered seriously the dreams and myths of the country. The

society that has probably disappeared forever., ( 13950 ), $15.00

Quarto, Very good condition with a very good dustjacket., 47 plates

galantes and sumptuous theatrical performances. Anita Brookner,

travelled through France and Algeria, and passed their time as
amateur etchers and painters of water colours. They lived in a kind
of maidenly orderliness surrounded by the delicate products of 18th-
century craftmanship. This is a record of their diaries from that
period., ( 15858 ), $9.00
