'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 Scott Authors: Ronald Alley and T.P.Flanagan Publisher: Arts Council of Northern Ireland Date: 1986 Condition: Essentially as new, apparently unread and completely clean inside. The edges show a hint of tanning and the spine shows the uneven gluing common to this volume
A very nice catalogue of the last retrospective of Scott's work to be held in his lifetime which travelled from Belfast to Dublin and then to Edinburgh. The general essay by Ronald Alley is insightful, as is the one by T.P.Flanagan about Scott's drawings. Largely illustrated in black and white but with a block of colour plates, it remains a very useful volume for the Scott aficionado.
