A must for Art Historians and students
I have treasured this book ever since I bought it 10 years ago. As a beginning picture framer this was the pinacle of perfection to me. Gives full blown diagrams on the construction of the frames and altar pieces along with the history of the frames and icons. Simply breathtaking stuff, incredible craftsmanship and artistry.
