VENICE

=Publishers’ Note=.—­This book treats of Venice not only at one time of the day, but at all times.  There is Venice at night; Venice in sunshine; Venice in grey; it is a colour record of Venice, full of actuality.  There are all sides of Venice—­old doorways; the Riva; the Rialto; St. Mark’s before and after the fall of the Campanile; the Doge’s Palace; the Salute at dawn and the Salute at sunset; Market Places; Fishing Villages, with their vividly-coloured Fishing Boats—­rich orange sails splashed with yellows and vermilions; the Piazza; Churches; and the Islands of the Lagoon.

THE DURBAR

=Morning Post.=—­“This splendid book will be accepted by all as the best realisation of an epoch-making ceremony that we are ever likely to get.”

=The Academy.=—­“Unquestionably the best pictorial representation of the Durbar which has appeared.”

=The Globe.=—­“Likely to be the most brilliant and lasting record of the historical occasion.”

WORLD’S CHILDREN

=The Times.=—­“Of the cleverness, both of the pictures and letter-press, there can be no doubt.  Miss Menpes’s short papers on the children of different lands are full of insight, human and fresh experience; and Mr. Menpes’s 100 pictures ... are above all remarkable for their extraordinary variety of treatment, both in colour scheme and in the pose and surroundings of the subject.”

WORLD PICTURES

=The Scotsman.=—­“Mr. Menpes has been a wanderer over the face of the earth armed with brush and pencil, and he has brought back with him portfolios filled with samples of the colour and sunshine, and of the life and form, quaint or beautiful, of the most famous countries of the East and of the West, and his charming book is a kind of album into which he has gathered the cream of an artist’s memories and impressions of the many countries he has visited and sketched in.”
