Published in 2007, the color plates are brilliant. 204 pages and large book.

Print font is reasonable.
A lovely reference book.

After returning home from the Great Plains Renaissance festival, I opened this book, which we have had a few months, lay on the floor with a bowl of cereal and didn't get up until I had seen every picture. No I didn't read every word but I learned a lot!!

I love art. Part of my love affair with art involves the story behind each piece and the small things no one ever notices. Love this book.
