Description

With a presentation that divides the book into two equal parts, A Tale of Two Balconies investigates the elements that make each of these artworks-both in the collection of the National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institution-unique. Exploring the depicted locations of each (in Edo Japan and Victorian England) enables deeper insight as the authors examine the idea of the balcony itself as a construct at once both private and public - creating a view and juxtaposing the different cultural domains both within and beyond the balcony railing.

This stunning book is double-fronted, so readers can begin reading from either side. A carefully-designed centre section encourages readers to engage with the themes of perspective and recollection through their own art-making activities - collage, drawing and colouring, even building a pop-out Hokusai diorama and Victorian Whistler toy theatre.

Also features works from Tate, National Portrait Gallery, London, The Hunterian, University of Glasgow, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum, Bournemouth, National Galleries of Scotland, Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
