Great Illustrations by N. C. Wyeth (Dover Fine Art, History of Art)

There are probably more comprehensive books on the great N.C. Wyeth, but not ones that give as much value for your money.... This Dover edition is a great collection of Wyeth work in one relatively slim and lightweight (but heavy enough paper that you don't see the image on the other side bleeding through) book... it takes up less space and is far more affordable than massive hardcover tomes that cost an arm and a leg, but it still gives a very good overview of this famous and prolific early 20th century illustrator. The colors look vibrant and the images sharp. I highly recommend this book.

This book contains a good collection of some of N.C. Wyeth's finest work. The reproductions are very good and, having seen many of the original paintings, give a good idea of his color and light. Thus is a nice introduction to his work and a look at what great illustration is. If you collect books on N.C., art or illustration, you'll appreciate this book.

A wonderful collection of N.C. Wyeth's work. I bought this to have on my Kindlefire HD 7 and it shows up very well. A good sized collections of his work in different media. I'm totally pleased with it.

Great book with a very interesting variety of Illustrations. I don't give 5 stars because in my opinion the quality of the reproductions is not consistent. There are a set of reproductions with great quality but a considerable number of illustrations could have a better image quality.

This book for me embodies the best and the very worst of Dover Press. First, credit is due to editor Jeff Menges who has recently published a whole series of books on the artists of the Golden Age of Illustration. The Dover books are reasonably priced and show a wide array of the selected artists works. For me, they are a starting point from which to start searching for original illustrated volumes. Now for what I really dislike about Dover. A book printing revolution has taken place in the last twenty years. The quality and resolution of images have significantly improved. Unfortunately, Dover Press is stuck in the 1970's and the images they publish are washed out and printed on low quality glossy paper. In addition, the biographical information on the illustrators is superficial and not especially well written. In the final analysis, if you can afford a more expensive book about the work of N.C. Wyeth, you should purchase it. Hopefully, this review and others like it will encourage Dover to invest in better printing presses.

Another great example of one of the all-time best illustrators that ever lived. This books features many paintings by the artist that have not seen the light of day in many, many, years. I highly recommend it!

A nice selection of N.C. Wyeth's work. The quality of reproduction is excellent for many of the illustrations, but several are below standard. Two issues: 1. Too bad the book is not a hard cover; 2. The order of the illustrations is not progressive by date or by topic, but seems a little haphazard.

It was a gift that the person truly enjoyed. Wonderful book!

The book would be just amazing if the print quality would not be so bad. The paper is cheap and the colors are off, contrast is low. Dont recommend this book.

Per quel che costa questo bel libro della Dover non si può certo pretendere di più, il confronto con libri di valore triplo ovviamente è inutile anche se posso affermare che la stampa in definitiva non è affatto male. Ho avuto la possibilità di confrontare alcune immagini con quelle che compaiono su un libro che raccoglie tutti e tre gli artisti della famiglia Wyeth, posso dire che sull'edizione Dover è leggermente evidente il retino di stampa ma la resa cromatica è quasi la stessa. Lo consiglio quindi per tutti coloro che vogliano avere un buon compromesso tra prezzo e qualità.

Comme beaucoup d'acheteurs de ce livre, je trouve la qualité des reproductions assez faible.Certaine images sont limites floues (fuzzy). dommage, un artiste comme N.C Wyeth mériterait un meilleurs traitement.De plus, Attention amazon avec la manutention! Le colis (l'enveloppe en carton) était déchirée sur 5 cm et le livre, sans protection à l'intérieur, a le coin supérieur corné.

Bought as a gift and very well received. Great book with good quality illustrations throughout

the quality of the images... other things are fine, but you are a book! so.... 3stars only
