Synopsis
A study of the paintings of Leeds artist Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-93) whose images of wet streets, bare branches on winter afternoons, moon-lit nights and gaslit docksides are well known. The author assesses the artist's place in Victorian art and society and compares him with his contemporaries such as Tissot and Alma-Tadema. Some of Grimshaw's paintings which are normally in private collections are reproduced here for the first time.

There is some discolouration to the spine, and edges of the covers nearest the spine, caused by the sun. There is a date in pencil on the last flyleaf. Otherwise, the book is in very good condition.
