Hardcover. Condition: Good+. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Folio. Oxford at the Clarendon Press. 1944. 2 vols. Xiii, (1) , 242 pgs ; 279 plates. Chip to the top of the spine of Vol. 1. Bound in black cloth boards. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards of Volume 1 are faded and worn to the extremities. The papers chart the history of attempts to understand Celtic art and argue for novel approaches in discussions spanning the whole of Continental Europe and the British Isles. This new body of international scholarship will give the reader a sense of the richness of the material and current debates. Artefacts of rich form and decoration, which we might call art, provide a most sensitive set of indicators of key areas of past societies, their power, politics and transformations. With its broad geographical scope, this volume offers a timely opportunity to re-assess contacts, context, transmission and meaning in Celtic art for understanding the development of European cultures, identities and economies in pre- and proto-history. EB ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 242 pages.
