The arrangement of the figures is awkward, and the relationships the author purports to draw between images are sometimes obscure. (

After a short introduction, this collection drives right into its format of full-page plate with caption and commentary on the facing page, an enjoyable format well-carried out. The selection of art is basically good and the comments intelligent enough. (
