Mr. Pennell's wonderful drawings present to us the immortal witnesses of
the "Glory that was Greece" just as they stand to-day, in their
environment and the golden atmosphere of Hellas. Whether it be the
industrial giants portrayed in "Pictures of the Panama Canal" or antique
temples presented in this fascinating volume, the great lithographer
proves himself to be a master craftsman of this metier. The art of Greece
is perhaps dead, but we are fortunate in having such an interpreter.
There is every promise that this book will have the same value among
artists and book lovers as had his others.
"The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece!
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,"
have never had a more appreciative and sympathetic lover.
