Mr. Littlejohns explains very simply and pleasantly a method of
approach to pictures intended for those who have no knowledge of them
and no trained sensibility.[1] The book deals simply and briefly with
many of the considerations involved in composing a picture, and gives
an analysis, illustrated by diagrams, of nine well-known masterpieces.
The author does his work very well, and no one who reads carefully
what he says and carries out his instructions can fail to find added
interest if not also keener enjoyment in the contemplation of
pictures.[2]
Mr. Littlejohns writes, not only with the artist's intuition, but with
the clearness and simplicity derived from his experiences as a teacher
of children.[3] The colour reproductions are excellent and could not
be bought separately for the price of the whole book.[4]

This book contains descriptive accounts, with full and accurate

galleries in this country and on the Continent. They have been selected
out of the immense number of exhibited works as being those which,
in view of the opinions of the best critics, or in some cases by popular
suffrage, are such as practically everybody who cares about pictures
ought, or would like, to know something about.
