1 comments about Celtic Art and Design (The Treasury of Decorative Art).
- This is a Dover-style reprint-illo book -- not as well-documented or professionally-produced as the Dover books, but the imagery reproduced here is so compelling that the book is well-worth a look.
For instance, here's the Gundestrup Cauldron (circa first century BC): see customer images. This huge silver vessel, found dismantled in a Danish peat bog, is filled with enigmatic images of Celtic deities and rituals. See Wikipedia for the details, which you won't find in this book. But the photographs here are excellent.
Which is the pattern for the book: tantalizing photos of really cool artifacts, like the Battersea Shield (see photo), dredged from the Thames, where it was likely placed as an offering, some 2000 years ago. With just enough information to tantalize (or frustrate) the reader. Fortunately, you can easily research the ones that particularly interest you online.
So: the quality of the photographic reproductions is variable -- but many of these artifacts are simply wonderful, and many were new to me. The paper quality is good, and the book is inexpensive. Cautiously recommended to Celtic art fans.
Happy reading--
Peter D. Tillman

1 comments about Conserving Paintings: Basic Technical Information for Contemporary Artists.
- Excellent book.Useful,accurate,and concise imfo about the care of painted art. A must for anyone who is serious about either the care of,or preperation of fine art collectables. A must have text. If, or when this book should go out of print,don't get caught without a copy. You could become the guppy in a sea full of sharks. Hard to find knowledge about a subject where everyone is the expert,but nobody knows the answer when asked directly. All chapters are need to know and are correct technical how-to.
