(Can you believe I just put all those names into this description, all speaking into a nearly deaf voice recognition device -- I need help). Turning to the condition of the book: it, by contrast, doesn't need any help. It's in very nice shape. You can see the covers in the photos. The rear cover has a smallish spot off its middle edge and a few speck-sized spots. The top edge of the spine has a tiny bit of wear. The book has a stapled binding and you can see a few tiny bumps on the rear cover just adjacent to the spine. They came from pressing against the staples on the preceding page, the last of the blank Notes pages. The binding of the book is excellent. The pages are solidly, tightly bound from cover to cover. The covers are tightly bound as well. The interior the book is in excellent condition. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing. There are no corner creases, no placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. The book runs 148 pages, the last four are blank pages with just the number of the page and 'Notes' at the top. None of them are written on. The Introduction includes a long piece on Adolf von Hildebrand and another on Marees and Fiedler Hildebrand. That's followed by a three page translation of Heinrich Wolfflin's 'first testimony to Adolf von Hildebrand's ideas which greatly influenced his thinking and thus in turn a whole generation of art historians. The original text was published in 1893.'. Seller Inventory # 005163
