Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Some of the oldest art in the world is the subject of this riveting and beautiful book. Bahn and Vertut explore carved objects and wall art discoveries from the Ice Age, covering the period from 300,000 B.C. to 40,000 B.C., and their collaboration marks a signal event for archaeologists and lay readers alike. 150 full-color illustrations, 50 b&w illustrations.
"[A] thorough review of the art still in existence produced between 300,000 B.C. and 40,000 B.C."
Kirkus, 09/01/1997
Review:For anyone, like myself, who has had the unforgettable privilege of visiting the stunning caves in southwestern Europe where our Upper Paleolithic ancestors created indelible images, Paul Bahn's most recent contribution is essential reading. This splendid volume is studded with superb photographs of Ice Age art by the late Jean Vertut and supported by a truly scholarly and remarkably informative text.
