A fine, clean, First Edition copy of "Paradise Lost : Paintings of English Country Life and Landscape 1850 - 1914", by Christopher Wood, published by Barrie & Jenkins of London in 1988. It is a commonplace among conservationists that the English landscape of today would be unrecognisable to our great-grandparents, the rural way of life, so familiar to us from the novels of Thomas Hardy and others having long vanished from the scene. Yet, there remains to us a remarkable record of this lost world, which, to a remarkable degree has been ignored; the work of the English landscape painters and watercolourists working between 1850 and 1914. The author, formerly Head of the Nineteenth-Century paintings department at International Auctioneer, Christie's, and author of the standard reference work, "The Dictionary of Victorian Painters", here seeks in this accomplished work to remedy this unhappy situation. Hard covers, large format, 224 pages, superb full colour illustrations throughout, original dust jacket { now a little untidy }.
