Friedlander was a foremost writer on art and the history of different genres of art.  Translated from German, printed in Gt. Britain, includes a leaflet giving a list of the illustrations.  An essential book for art lovers and art historians. The book is in A-1 perfect shape except for some scratch marks on the upper back cover.  The dust cover is good, with some tears on the top of the spine and ragged edges along the top and bottom.  A somewhat scarce second book by Friedlander. 288 pp. including the index, 5.5x8.5x1 inch.
