I have long been on the hunt for a quaility representation of highlights from the famous Morgan drawing collection. Thus it is a pleasure to report that this issue perfectly fits the bill. The best news is that this book is beautifully illustrated and printed on fine paper. There is no dust cover.

Art lovers are really spoiled nowadays with the realism and accuracy of the reproductions as seen in upmarket modern publications. Although I have not seen the original drawings covered in the Munich exhibition, I suspect there is not much difference in the visual experience (apart from size variation) to what is presented in this fine catalogue.

Many of the famous drawing practitioners over the centuries are represented, often in exceptional examples of their art. The works of the few lesser known artists on view are also of high quality and interest. The annotations, written by experts in their respective fields, are scholarly and informative. This is a magnificent drawing book and has my highest recommendation.
