This 1948 volume is a large-format illustrated tribute to the Victorian caricaturist John Leech, focusing on his celebrated hunting scenes. It is a First Edition and a quintessential mid‑century art book: short in text, expansive in image, and designed to showcase Leech's lively, affectionate depictions of the English hunting field. The book contains: Colour and black‑and‑white reproductions of Leech's hunting illustrations, there are full‑page plates, many printed to a high standard for the period. There is a short 31‑page text by Thomas Bodkin. An introductory essay by Sir Alfred Munnings, himself a master of equestrian art, praising Leech's vitality, humour, and observational accuracy. The tone is celebratory: Bodkin positions Leech as both a chronicler and a gentle satirist of the sporting world, while Munnings frames him as a predecessor in the lineage of British sporting art.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Hardcover, xxxi + 236pp + 4 pages of glossy colour plates, NOT ex-library. Pencil notations in margins of 20 text pages, sparse pencil underlining in text; some pencil notes also inside the rear board. Else clean, untanned interior with firm binding. Gently toned, untorn dust jacket. -- This seminal study by art historian Thomas Bodkin examines the lives and works of four pivotal figures in the history of Irish art: George Barret, James Arthur O'Connor, Walter Frederick Osborne, and Nathaniel Hone the Younger. First published in 1920, at a key moment of Irish cultural nationalism, the book was one of the earliest scholarly efforts to define a distinct national school of landscape painting. This 1987 edition by the Irish Academic Press is a photolithographic facsimile that retains Bodkin's original text while adding a new, critical introduction by Julian Campbell, which situates the artists within modern art-historical scholarship. The text is structured into biographical essays and critical analyses, exploring the transition from the 18th-century classicism of Barret and the romantic sensibilities of O'Connor to the profound influence of French Barbizon and Impressionist plein air painting on the later work of Osborne and Hone. Bodkin provides detailed descriptions of key paintings, such as Barret's views of the Powerscourt Waterfall and O'Connor's romanticised depictions of the Dargle Valley, while also tracing the artists' professional paths through the Royal Academy in London and the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin. The volume is enhanced by colour and black-and-white plates and comprehensive appendices that list the works exhibited by each painter at major academies, making it an indispensable foundational reference for the study of Ireland's visual heritage.…
