This is an illustrated guide to places in Great Britain and Ireland with which artists have been associated. Following the introductory essay the book is in the form of a gazetteer arranged by geographical region. The book includes a bibliography and an Index of Persons, Index of Works Illustrated and an Index of Places.

The entries vary in length from generally a paragraph or two to occasionally a page or more. The book is illustrated throughout in monochrome and colour, the images running with the text, and varying in size from quite small up to full page and occasionally double page.

The quality of the reproduction, especially the black and white images is not good, the heavy dark areas obscure any detail there, the colour images fair somewhat better, but are not great. In total there are 297 illustrations including 72 in colour.

An interesting idea, a shame about the quality of the images.
