IMPORTANT ART BOOKS
Published by SMALL, MAYNARD & COMPANY
ONE HUNDRED CARTOONS BY CESARE
Brilliant and powerful interpretations of our times, by the man whose recent change from the New York Sun to the New York Evening Post gave the latter newspaper opportunity to congratulate itself on the good fortune which had enabled it, when for the first time in its history it decided to add a cartoonist to its regular staff, to obtain the services of the ablest cartoonist in America. Cesare is more than a cartoonist: he is an artist, and is known as such throughout this country, while his work is reprinted in European periodicals more often than that of any other American cartoonist. His greatness lies in his genius as an artist as well as in the strength of the ideas that his drawings express.

ART
By Auguste Rodin

JAN VERMEER OF DELFT
By Philip L. Hale
“At last we have a book in English on Vermeer—an extremely valuable, popular account. We get from such a book as this not only an interpretation of a particular artist’s art, but also of the art of painting in general. Writing about Vermeer in The Outlook some years ago, Mr. E. V. Lucas called him ‘the rarest and most fastidious of masters.’ After reading Mr. Hale’s book one feels anew the justice of that statement."— Outlook.
“The most elaborate stylistic analysis ever applied to any artist."— Nation.
Large 8vo. With reproductions in color, in photogravure and in half-tone of all of Vermeer’s known works, together with examples of the work of some of his contemporaries. Buckram, net, $10.00 ; three-quarter levant, net, $20.00 .
LEONARDO DA VINCI

It is a magnificent collection of great pictures and drawings, for not only Leonardo but all his contemporaries are exquisitely represented in it."— Pall Mall Gazette (London).
