'Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers' - Charles W.Eliot
Artist: William Nicholson Author: Andrew Nicholson Publisher: Giles de la Mare Publishers Date: 1996 Condition: Very good, the first edition hardback with the original unclipped dust wrapper over grey boards; the wrapper has some very minor sunning to the back cover (sun seems to have always turned the grey to green with this volume) but very clean and unmarked internally.
A major monograph on William Nicholson, written by his grandson, this volume makes good use of letters and other documentary sources to build up a picture of both WN the artist and WN the man. Extensively illustrated in both black and white and colour throughout, it is a book which is informative but also provides plenty of visual delight too.
