Doubleday, Page & Co. issued Daniels' main text in 1921, in what format we do not know; author Daniels was a "landscape architect formerly in charge of United States National Parks". The reprint in hand is lovely work by J.H. Nash, but it is scarcely "a book" in this condition. Perhaps the major attraction here is the page & a half of Sterling's emotings on the subject of trees.

Slip-case included is complete and shows some wear from doing its job of protecting the book. Skira is an internationally known and respected publisher of art books. Art is inexhaustible when each succeeding generation discovers its own way of looking at painting. This book is designed to enable the reader to look at French Impressionist painting of the late nineteenth century with a new vision reinforced by the revolutionary experience of our own times. We see the Impressionists not merely as gifted and colorful artists, but as an integral part of the vast social upheaval which occurred in France exactly a hundred years ago. In its most extreme expression this was the revolution of the Paris barricades, the Commune of 1871. Though ruthlessly crushed, this manifestation of popular dissent was only one aspect of the profound changes that were occurring in every department of French life. In the domain of art, hitherto rigorously controlled by the imperial authorities, there was now a widening opportunity for a number of young painters whose technical capacity was hardly less revolutionary than their preoccupation with subjects drawn from popular life. It is part of the purpose of this book to show how Manet, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Pissarro and the other Impressionist painters were an integral part of the great movement towards republican democracy. Observed in this light their works, copiously reproduced between these covers, are immeasurably enriched, especially for eyes which have seen this democracy so often since threatened. Contents in Four Parts: Main Text by Maria and Godfrey Blunden, Documentary Notices, Synoptic Sequence of Witness Account by the Painters Their Friends and the Writers and Critics of the Impressionist Period, and Dictionary-Index of Persons and Places. Very large heavy book that may incur additional shipping charges to some locations.
