"A Little History Of The World" By E.H. Gombrich, Illustrations By Clifford Harper (YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS New Haven And London 2008, originally published in German by Steyrermühl-Verlag, Vienna 1936) - Part 3



E.H. Gombrich became one of the best known art historians of the 20th century with his multi-million selling book "The Story Of Art"(1950) which is still in print today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Gombrich  It's huge success over-shadowed Gombrich's earlier work until the author decided to revise "A Little History Of The World" towards the end of his life and it was published in English for the first time in 2005. The exquisite illustrations by Clifford Harper were the perfect choice for it,  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_Harper
