One of 375 Illustrations in a 660 Page Book 
Scandinavian 
By Carl G. Laurin of Sweden, Emil Hannover of Denmark, and Jens Thiis of Norway 
T here are no better known writers on Scandinavian art than 
the three contributors to this volume. Each has written on the 
art of his own country, reviewing the great achievements of 
his countrymen in the fields of painting, sculpture and architect¬ 
ure and selecting for illustration of the book the most characteristic and 
beautiful examples of the work of each artist. The Foundation takes pride 
in this book not only because of the distinction of the contributors to it and 
because of the abundance of clear and ideal illustrations, but also because 
it represents a high standard of book making and years of painstaking 
editorial work. An introduction correlating the three national sections 
has been written by the American critic, Dr. Christian Brinton. The 
jacket, a striking design of an on-coming Viking ship, has been executed 
by Trygve Hammer. 
This book does more to take the mind of the reader to the countries of 
the North than any number of books of travel. He sees these countries 
as their own greatest artists see them. It is a book he will wish to own
