This is the second volume of the definitive reference series dealing with commercial bronze sculptures in the period 1800 to 1930. This period spans the rise and decline of commercial industrial foundries in Europe, especially in France, and a wide array of international sculptors. Together, they produced millions of fine statuettes for the general public. Volume 2 includes 1025 photographs of sculptures on 272 pages with a numbered list of the sculpture categories and an essay on early twentieth-century sculptural styles by Tom Tomc of Chicago. It incorporates lists of the sculptors whose work is shown, the founders represented, and 58 different founders' seals. The photographs are remarkably clear enabeling small details in the scuptures to be visible. With this reference series, collectors will be able to identify many of the old commercial bronzes found on the market today.

Precious book,

This review is from: Bronzes: Sculptors and Founders, 1800-1930 (Hardcover)
Rich collection of illustations about old bronze sculptures. The author seems to know deeply about the subject and the presentations of the figures is very precise.I really appreciated.

This review is from: Bronzes: Sculptors and Founders, 1800-1930 (Hardcover)
The book has only black and white figures and does not describe much of the artists of that time.
