A Popular Handbook To The National Gallery

""A Popular Handbook to the National Gallery"" is a comprehensive guidebook to the collection of artwork housed in the National Gallery in London. Written by Edward Tyas Cook in 1888, the book provides detailed descriptions of the paintings and sculptures on display, as well as historical and biographical information about the artists who created them.
