| Although this edition of the illustrated dictionary is as late as 1949, it retains many of its stolid but well drawn pen and ink illustrations of everything thought suitable in 1929. Every now and then there are extensive full page colour plates of coloured spreads, specialising in Natural History and Soldiery. I confess a fascination for those moments when words will not do, and the Visual is effective. Best of all are the Single Image Marratives purporting to show you every cheese in France, every feather, sleeve and wrestling hold in the great wide world.My clear favourite is the Gasometer. Find it eh? |
