Internals toned, quite clean, no markings of any kind. Many full color drawings by Van Loon, in color and wash and b/w --so delightful! Van Loon's humor is also delightful. And as he says: "This book was written and illustrated by Hendrik Willem Van Loon to give the general reader (who perhaps had always considered this a rather remote subject) a better understanding and a greater appreciation of everything that has been done within the realm of painting and architecture and music and sculpture and the theater and most of the so-called minor arts from the beginning of time until the moment we come so close to them that we begin to lose our perspective." 677 pages with A Section on "A Few Musical Instruments" and Index. 6.5 x 2 x 9.75 inches. 1937, Simon & Schuster, New York, New York,
