A History of Art by William Goodyear MA 1889
$35.00$0.00
This is A History of Art by William Goodyear, MA, an 1889 hardcover survey of art history.
The inside boards carry stains and a previous owner wrote in pencil on interior pages, while the book itself grades Good overall, so look closely at the photos.
Goodyear wrote it for classes, art students, and travelers touring Europe, and while history is the main thread, many detailed pictures show each period it covers. Goodyear (1846 to 1923) was an architectural historian, art historian, and museum curator.
