GOWANS’S ART BOOKS 
Sef>t. 1st, 1909 
Messrs. Gowans & Gray ask with confidence for the 
continued support of this undertaking by lovers of 
art. It is their hope to be able to cover the wliole 
field of classic painting by including all important 
artists who were born before the year 1800, and the 
preparation of new volumes is being carried on steadily 
and systematically with this end in view. 
As new editions of the earlier volumes are required, 
improvements are being introduced and doubtful pictures 
replaced by genuine works, well-known authorities — 
whose names are given — being followed in every case. 
Rubens, ^ an Dyci, Rembrandt , Raphael, Reymdds, Teniers, 
and Hals have already appeared in this improved form, 
and the others wliich require revision are being actively 
proceeded with. 
The publishers hope to accelerate the issue of the 
scries by publishing future volumes at regular monthly 
intervals, and their efforts will be very much assisted 
if those who appreciate the books will place standing 
orders, “till further notice,” with their booksellers. 
They beg to announce the following, with approximate 
dates of issue : 
27. THE MASTERPIECES OF DURER \Sept. 1909 
29. THE MASTERPIECES OF LOTTO \Sept. 1909 
30. THE MASTERPIECES OF LUINT [Sept. 1909
