A Child's History of Art

The black and white photographs are small, and some of the information is understandably dated, but the genial style of writing makes this a great reference and enjoyable read. It's more comprehensive in it's three short parts (art, sculpture and architecture) than many art history overviews I've encountered.

This copy was my mother's Christmas present from her parents in 1934; she was 12 years old.

This book is composed of three parts which are painting, sculpture and architecture.
