FAMOUS PAINTINGS VOLUME 2

Famous Paintings was printed by Funk & Wagnalls Company in 1913.
The paintings are "Selected from the World's Great Galleries and Reproduced in Colour".
The introduction to the book is by G.K. Chesterton .
The pictures are in the public domain. If you choose to use one of them I would appreciate a link back to this page.
A lot of time and effort has gone into making them available to you.
