40pp accompanied by black and white plate illustrations. In blue cloth boards with gilt titles (boards a little rubbed at edges, rounded on corners and spine ends). Internally some spotting else neat, clean and tidy. In its original worn and edge-chapped dust jacket, mildly marked and a tad faded. A first edition copy of Lamb’s seminal essay on the distinction in art between what you like and what the experts consider to be good, and the divergence of Modern Painting from the representation of forms typical in the works of the Old Masters.
