Hutchinson's Important New Books
The Work of P. A. de Laszlo
In one large folio volume containing 61 photogravure plates, representing some of the choicest examples of the Artist's work.
With an Introduction by Comte Robert de Montesquiou.
This collection, covering as it does the whole range of this distinguished artist's work, must be regarded as a contribution of the highest permanent value to the history of portraiture and art. A selection of the more important of the Hungarian master's pictures, portraits of monarchs, statesmen, diplomats, great ladies and famous beauties is here presented, and may be said to summarise the most important phases of the social and political history of Europe during the past twenty-five years. It has been the aim of the publishers to produce a record of Mr. de Laszlo's works of permanent value and interest to the collector, the connoisseur, and the lover of art.
The Big Four and Others at the Peace Conference
In cloth gilt, with 9 illustrations on art paper, 8s. 6d. net.
In this book the former American Secretary for State, who was one of the representatives at the Peace Conference, studies the predominant personalities of the Conference.
There are many books about the Peace Conference but none, so far, by a writer that combines such exceptional opportunity of close observation with so clear an insight into human motives, and so admirable, direct, and convincing expression. The book contains a most interesting account of the procedure of the Conference; there are four full portraits of Clemenceau, Wilson, Lloyd George and Orlando, and four impressions of Venizélos, Emir Feisul, General Botha and Paderewski.
Mr. Lansing is a keen observer of human nature, and his sketches are at once most fascinating reading and an important contribution to history.
My Cat Prospero
An artistic volume, in cloth, with 8 drawings by the Author, 5s. net.
An attractive, charming and touching account of a cat, his ways, his development, surrounded by human love and desire for his growth of mind and soul. The cult of the cat is very fashionable, apart from the regular everyday cat-lover we have always with us.
