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 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."

variety of treatment, both in colour scheme and in the pose and

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,

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."

JAPAN

=The Times.=--"Mr. Menpes's pictures are here given in most perfect
facsimile, and they form altogether a series of colour impressions of Japan
which may fairly be called unrivalled. Even without the narrative they
would show that Mr. Menpes is an enthusiast for Japan, her
