A beautifully illustrated volume from the prestigious A History of Painting series, written by the art critic and author Haldane Macfall and published by T. C. and E. C. Jack of London and Edinburgh.
The book surveys the golden age of Dutch painting, covering masters including Rembrandt van Rijn, Frans Hals, Jan Vermeer, and the broader Dutch School of Amsterdam and Haarlem. It is illustrated with twenty-five plates in colour, each a high-quality reproduction of a masterwork — among them Rembrandt’s Oval Bust of an Old Lady with White Cap and Ruff (National Gallery, 1634) and Frans Hals’ The Laughing Cavalier.
The T. C. & E. C. Jack art history series was one of the most respected popular art publishing ventures of the Edwardian period, producing finely illustrated volumes at accessible prices. Haldane Macfall was a noted critic who contributed several volumes to the series.
Condition notes: Green cloth boards show surface marks, fading and light staining; spine significantly faded to brown with minor fraying at head and tail; boards structurally solid; interior pages and all 25 colour plates clean and intact with no tears or losses.
