This is the book Famous Paintings - A Guide to the Masters by Frances Cavanah. Whitman Publishing 1941. The book has a brown hardcover in fair condition. It has illustrations with full color reproductions of 44 famous masterpieces by great painters with a brief artists' biography and information about each painting. The cover shows wear but the inside pages are tight and clean, bright colors with slight yellowing to pages.
The book includes a page with instructions for pronouncing the painter's names; and how to look and understand the effects used. The book measures 5 1/2" X 3 1/2" and has 69 pages. No cellophane tape and no tears that I could see. Just some wear on the hard outside cover. There are pencil markings. COLA is written on the title page and five numbers written on the back cover. Odd.
Super little book that will look good in your library and impress your friends!
