Oxfam Online Shop

The plates illustrating Donatello's work all come at the back, the best place to start, for the realism, for the delight of gazing at animated figures, or the delicate folds of robes, or the magnificence of his tableaux - it is all there in the black and white photos. At the front comes the 'Critical Catalogue', discussing many aspects of the documentary evidence behind these sculptures and the details of the various plates, including 'history and reconstruction'. No date for this edition; 1963 for copyright, paperback 1979. Ex-library, with shelving numbers on spine and residue of library stickers in front end papers. Dark blue cloth-covered boards, a little worn along the edges, with faux silver lettering; binding firm; page edges with some foxing; endpapers clean bar library marks; text appears clean throughout. Overall in good condition.
