A pioneering study of landscape painting

It's great to have a reprint of this important work on the history of European landscape painting (first published in 1949). Unfortunately the 104 plates, which are an essential part of the book, are horribly reproduced --at least in my copy. The problem isn't that they are black and white, I could live with that, but they are uniformly so dark as to be mostly black. It seems like a botched job of printing. Moreover, there are two plates 3a and 3b (with the same images in different sizes) and no plates 2a or 2b.
I haven't compared this to the original, but it's hard to imagine it could have been this bad. What a disappointment not to be able to view better reproductions of the paintings discussed in the text.
